This is really annoying for Amazon Prime members, as the "free" shipping has suddenly disappeared for all Macmillian titles.
Frankly, I really don't care about the eBook dispute; the fact that this is disrupting purchases of dead-tree books just pisses me off.
So I'm confused, how exactly does this relate to the 1st?
It relates to the First Ammendment in that it would create "substantial chilling effects" towards a person's freedom to be exposed to free speech.
The actual excerpt from the court documents:
"Our basic rationale for this holding is that, before law enforcement officials are permitted to take actions that are likely to chill people's willingness to read a full panoply of books and be exposed to diverse ideas, law enforcement officials must make a heightened showing of their need for the innocent bookstore's customer purchase records. We emphasize that a bookstore's customer purchase records are not absolutely protected from discovery and that this question must be decided on the particular facts of each case.
For example, if the police were to find a book about baseball with a Tattered Cover price sticker on it in the vicinity of an illegal drug lab, and they wished to find out who purchased the baseball book in order to place that person at the scene of the crime, the harm to constitutional interests caused by forced disclosure of the Tattered Cover's book records might well be permissible under the balancing test we describe. Similarly, if law enforcement officials seek to discover a book purchase record to disprove a suspect's alibi, on the theory that the bookstore record proves that the suspect was at the bookstore at a particular time, the contents of the books bought are not significantly at issue and the harm to the public caused by the seizure of the record is less than if the facts were otherwise."
As this states, bookstore records are not always protected by the First Ammendment, but when searches start to target people who seek specific ideas, they begin to encroach upon First Ammendment rights, even when the searches meet the "scrupulous exactitude" requirements for the Fourth Ammenment and Article II, Section 7 of the Colorado Constitution.

Oops. This is the correct nesC Compiler link.
These tests were down with MICA sensor motes which can be purchased from Crossbow Technology.
These motes run TinyOS, which was developed at UC Berkeley.
More information about TinyOS:
Yes, my job does involve programming for these motes. I have four of them on my desk acting as an ad-hoc wireless sensor network now.

Software such as this has existed for HP calculators since the days of the HP48SX.
I have used some of the terminal emulators for my HP48GX to dial up to *nix boxes to check mail, chat, and even code.
For more info on HP calculators and all the software that exists for them, see hpcalc.org
Oh, how I miss the days of walking around with an HP48GX w/ 1.25MB of RAM and an external 9600 baud modem...
