Although there’ve been lots of eBooks the past year, none of them have had this HP concept that was demoed at the HP Mobility Summit. Instead of pressing a button to turn the page (which you can presumably still do) there are touch strips on the top, bottom, and sides of the ebook that you can slide to virtually turn the page.
We’re not entirely sure how the act of swiping makes reading more enjoyable on an ebook, but hey, whatever makes people adopt technology faster. On a similar note, who’s reserved the last Harry Potter book? Doesn’t he show his wand in this one or something?

Pur Water Purifying Fruit Flavor Cartridges Are Both Fantastic and Horrible var permalink=”http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/sugar-water/pur-water-purifying-fruit-flavor-cartridges-are-both-fantastic-and-horrible-260750.php”;
As if drinking regular water isn’t enough for kids these days, Pur is introducing Pur Flavor Options, which is a fruit cartridge you can stick into their Pur water filter systems. The upshot? Now you can flip a switch and get filtered fruit-flavored water from your tap, which has the taste of water you used to rinse actual fruit in but none of the health benefits of water. Yum!

what they DON’T say is that all/most of it was purchased by OEMs like Dell, HP, Lenovo ($1.3 billion software deal announced May 10th) etc. Anyone check with end users? Anyone know of an end user who has actually upgraded or is planning to upgrade to Vista (i.e. actually buy it?)?

In case you’re keeping track, nearly 40 million Microsoft Vista licenses have been sold in its first 100 days. According to Billy G, 78% of all sales made since the January 30th launch had been for the software’s premium versions. Not bad, in fact, pretty damn impressive leaving little doubt that this is Microsoft’s most successful OS (measure by rate of sale) ever with record profits sure to follow.
