Barnes and Noble, the United State's largest book seller has filed with the FCC its own e-book reader, as it's insinuated in the attached Agent Authorization Letter. The dipping of the toes into the digital text industry isn't as peculiar as, say
Discovery Communications, since Barnes and Noble already has some known precedence in the e-book reader market,
partnering with Plastic Logic as their "exclusive eBookstore provider" -- this may very well be the Plastic Logic reader, but there's no indication one way or another. Chances are it'll be some time before we know, as all external and internal photos are under a confidentiality extension for 180 days as of September 3rd, or about six months from now. See you in Spring 2010!

They say going to war without Canada is like going deer hunting without an accordion (ok, they actually
say that about the French, but whatever). And we've had repeated run-ins with our frozen neighbor to the north in the past (see
here,
here,
here). So you'd think the Canadians wouldn't be our first choice of allies in our war against the hand shake.). But they also say the enemy of your enemy is your friend. And so, by that crazy logic, I am now friends with Canada. Or at least, one in three Canadians. Because they've joined us,
CNN, the Dalai Lama, the Obamas, the
Boston Globe and some random
town in Germany in our fight against the
dreaded, disease spreading hand shake. From
The Globe And Mail, which writes that one in three Canadians won't shake hands due to flu concerns:
