From the article: 'The Nook is now a computer running a full Android operating system, with a built-in, free cellular connection to the internet. It also has a battery that lasts days, not hours.' They are documenting their progress on the Nook Devs wiki."

    I used to date a girl who called her pussy a "nook." I succesfully opened it many times :)

    Along most of the American eastern and southern coasts, the word "nook" is slang for "vagina". That's why sex is sometimes referred to as "nookie".

    So it's funny that these unlocked systems are leaving their ports wide open, ripe for molestation by intruders across the globe.
