Up until the punching, it was a real nice party.

I really like the paperwhite too. It's easy to read in the dark or in full sunlight.

Most of the poor reviews talk about the screen being splotchy or displaying odd bands of color - has this been an issue for either of you?

Our wings are not tired.

Not for me!

Nope.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

I love love love love love Flipboard. And it has other uses (like creating your own magazine and sharing it with friends), following other topics and RSS feeds. Seeing your twitter feed, tumblr, etc.

My new phone came with Flipboard, and it seems really great! I can't figure out how the hell it organizes things, though; it seems to just show me random articles with no rhyme or reason.

Yes, Flipboard's organization (or lack thereof) is really annoying.

Flipboard is very very pretty, but damned if I can figure out how to get it to give me the information I want.

Yeah, that's also why I don't use Flipboard. I want my blogs in reverse chronological order, not whatever random order Flipboard's algorithm decides is the prettiest.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

So my building will be getting FiOS in a couple of months. Hmmm...
