Kno Tablet Aims to Replace Textbooks 2010 has been called the year of the tablet PC by many. While most of these tablets focus on media consumption and portability, Kno, Inc. is trying something new. Kno, Inc. is a new start-up company, and their first product is the Kno tablet. The Kno tablet stands out from the crowd with its size as well as its increased usability when compared to other tablets. Kno, Inc.'s website, Kno.com, states that they have "revolutionized the textbook, higher education, and learning itself in one crazy, bold move." This is true - the size of the tablet is definitely bold. The Kno tablet is equipped with two 14.1" capacitive touchscreens which fold like a book so the user can use both screens simultaneously or fold one screen back to create a single-screen interface. Each screen has 1440 X 900 resolution, making a crisp picture of any image. The tablet weighs 5.5 pounds (the iPad weighs 1.5 pounds) and should get six to eight hours of battery life, each screen with its own battery.

Burning Books It has been quite the media firestorm this week concerning Rev. Terry Jones', "International Burn a Quran Day" that was (or maybe still is) scheduled for September 11, 2010. It is amazing how sensitized the media and the government are to the subject of Islam that this pastor of a 50 member church in Gainesville, Florida was propelled to the center of an international news, public relations and propaganda frenzy. Had the story been ignored no one outside of Gainesville, Florida would have known and many people even in Gainesville would not have know the event had taken place. Such is the power of the media and the Internet. We love to take the radical and obscure and place it on center stage and make it larger than it actually is.The Secretary of State, the Secretary of Defense, the President of the United States and even Angelina Jolie have urged Rev. Jones not to burn the books.At least two dozen Christian churches, Jewish temples and Muslim organizations in the city had mobilized to plan inclusive events, including Quran readings at services, as a counterpoint to Jones' protest.On Saturday (9/4/2010), thousands of Indonesian Muslims rallied outside...more
