Hacking the Kindle Part 3: root shell and runtime system

I've opted out a few times. My experience has been pretty much like jchrisa. Just tell them that you are opting out when it's your turn.

They would find someone to pat you down along with another officer to watch the process. Pat down takes less than a minute but wait time for officers to become available can be up to 5-10 minutes.

You are getting it in the reverse order. People who make it to IITs are driven; they do well in every field not just IT. Most Indian coders are in it just for the money, they hardly have concept of basic business or functional concept to do better and the sad part is they don't want to learn. You need to love what you do excel.

>>Another possible problem is that your spouse can get a visa but cannot work (until you both get a green card, which might take a long time).<<

Your spouse qualifies for H4, a dependent visa, based on your H1 visa. However, they can find sponsors for their own H1.

I'm not sure that's right. Even if Kindle App has no purchasing option but accesses content bought on Amazon.com, it should still allow Apple's in-app purchase. Which essentially means, Kindle app is useless. See the excerpt below.

>> If an app lets users access content that they purchased via Amazon's website, for example, then that same app must also let users buy the same book via Apple's own in-app purchase system. If the app developer doesn't want to use Apple's in-app purchases to sell content, then the app can't access content purchased elsewhere either.

The demo video doesn't clearly explain how it works. You mentioned that there is a weblerr bar but no other info on that. Without asking us to signup, could you show us how it will work? How will we make friends; if we are gonna import our contact list and such.

Kindle is OK 16 years ago

Amazon has improved support for PDFs. Here's from their Kindle page:

"Improved PDF Reader

Now with new dictionary lookup, notes and highlights, and support for password protected PDFs. Easily carry all of your documents on the go."

Kindle is OK 16 years ago

Kindle supports MOBI/PRC/AZW but not ePUB. You could use the free conversion tool calibre and batch convert your books from ePUB.

but I saw flights disappear, reappear, change availability, and change details entirely while trying to book a trip to Munich.

I am not sure if this is a bug in Priceline. I've seen the same with Orbitz last week. Moreover, with Orbitz fares reduced or became unavailable while trying to book.
