Barnes & Noble’s Double Screen E-Reader

Barnes and Nobles has been developing their very own e-reader for quite some time now—and here are its first shots!

Officially to be released next week, this device features a black and white e-ink screen (just like the Kindle), but the major difference is the multitouch display like an iPhone. Barnes and Nobles will sell the books they publish at a much cheaper price than its printed counterparts, and it is said to have access to all the books scanned by Google Books project, which is great because a lot of those are out of print. The name of the gadget will be revealed very soon.

I’m not sure how I feel about e-readers, whatever the brand. I really like having a physical book where I can turn the pages, but I also love portable, sleek gadgets that save tons of space, so I guess I’m just torn.

Although I’m super excited to see how B&N does, I think I can wait until a truly unique e-reader that is pure awesomeness to come out before I make this investment…

What are you thoughts?

Spiderman in Pink: Adorable as Hello Kitty, Strange as David Lynch

I love cute comics, and this adorable, girly Spiderman comic by talented manga artist Junko Mizuno is a must read! In August, Marvel Comics posted two preview pages of Junko’s story called “Welcome to Spider Town” and is now featured in Strange Tales #1. Sean Collins from Marvel describes the comic as “adorable as Hello Kitty but as strange as David Lynch.” Junko Mizuno admits she’s never really read Marvel comics, but does a hilariously, awesome job nonetheless. Spiderman is so cute when he’s eating the pink Jello, and I love his pose when he realizes his webs are now pink. Look at his little hands! Funny and cute, what a great combination! I would love to see more of this from Miss Mizuno!

My two favorite panels!

How to Spot a Bastard by His Star Sign – Gemini Horrorscope

Did you just break up with your cynical Aquarius boyfriend of 3 long years? Or are you in the dating scene and wondering why that date with the Taurus hottie was so insanely boring?

Well if that’s the case, you must not have read this book, How to Spot a Bastard by His Star Sign. This book gives you the darker, funny side of astrology and horoscopes and describes in detail, all the horrible things about the men you date based upon his star sign. It comically explains why the self absorbed Leos always want to be the center of attention and the reason you got suckered by the Scorpio’s smooth-talking, sadistic manipulations.

We’ll begin by highlighting this month’s star sign, the Gemini. Born in between May 22 and June 21, the men born under this sign are said to be possessed with multiple personalities. Here’s an excerpt directly from the book:

Relationships:
Relationships just don’t hold much appeal or a Gemini bastard. The hours are terribly inconvenient. Intimacy is stifling. Monogamy sucks. Rules are stupid. And as for the thought of spending time alone with you –that’s absolutely terrifying. See, you could get too close. Then you’d want to know what’s deep down inside of him. And he’s afraid to show you because he’s not quite sure what’s down there himself. (Our bets are on a primordial black hole.) This is why he’ll prefer to keep you as just an acquaintance. Even after you’re married to him.

But there’s good reason for his behavior: He’s possessed. No, don’t call the exorcist. This isn’t a medieval chant, holy water, and crucifix thing. It’s worse. A Gemini Bastard has many demons-a multitude of personalities living inside him, each of whom qualifies as a bastard in his own right.

How to Intrigue One
Don’t require sympathy. Or consistency. Or fidelity. Or company. Don’t ask where he is going. Or when he might be coming back. Or if he’s coming back. And don’t’ ever ask anything more emotionally demanding than “how are you?” or “Where did you get your shoes?”

If You Dump Him
Gemini will suddenly discover he definitely does have deep feelings for you. Feelings you have hurt. Terribly. Irrevocably. His heart is shattered. His soul destroyed. His life is meaningless. How could you do this to him, you…you…what was your name again?
