Turning a Kindle Fire HD Into a Power Tablet
jfruh writes "The Kindle Fire HD is in theory a powerful device at a reasonable price — but its Android-based OS is so oriented towards Amazon's ecosystem that it can be tricky to unlock its full potential. Still, with a little savvy you can get underneath the covers, improving battery life, getting full access to cameras and other devices, and even listening to music you've purchased through iTunes."

I tried but I couldn't swallow the damn thing
Hold on a second. If you want full access to cameras and other devices after getting under the covers, that's your business. "Unlock [your] full potential" all you want, but I don't want to hear about it!
Everything is better with chainsaws.
To save you some trouble, this is basically "how I like my Kindle Fire HD set up." I particularly enjoyed this gem:
Caps lock: Just double-tap on the SHIFT key and it'll turn into the caps lock key!
I TRIED THIS, BUT HOW DO YOU TURN IT OFF?

But the Kindle has HD right there in the name, it has to be a better screen!!!11@

With that kind of attitude, I'm not telling you! Why are you mad at me anyway?
WHY WOULD YOU WANT TO?
