Geek Brief TV #366

Amazon lowered the price of the Kindle by $40 [1]. I get asked on a
regular basis if I would recommend it. Yes! It has hardware design
flaws, but the reading experience is addictive.

The TelePrompTer company I've used since the first year of
GeekBrief.TV, just released a new version, the ProPrompter HD [2].

LaptopMag.com [3] had an interesting interview with Mary Lou Jepsen.
She gave a bit of insight into what they're working on for the OLPC
v2. Looks like they're integrating haptic technology.

I'm excited about the possibilities of an application called
AnswerOil [4]. It's an interactive tool to help narrow down shopping
choices quickly. They're licensing the technology to online stores, so
we don't get to really use it unless companies adopt it. You can
experience the demo here [5].

DimP is an experimental video player that allows viewers to scrub
through video by dragging moving objects on the screen You can
download a DimP player for Windows here [6].

For a limited time, we have a new Go Daddy promo code. It's GB100
and it'll get you $25 off your order of $100 or more. The offer
expires June 15th. Our other GoDaddy discount codes, GB1, GB2 and GB3,
are always good. For more information, click here [7].
