I'm just curious why no one has mentioned e-calibre (http://calibre-ebook.com/) as a great tool for essentially removing the DRM from Amazon books. Just suck your.amz or.mobi books off your Kindle and convert them to.epub and back. A buddy and me have permenantly "loaned" each other copies of several books we bought off Amazon in this manner.
Are we talking co-op or versus? I have friends play split-screen multi-player with me in Gears of War and Left4Dead - both of which support split screen on the 360.

Having worked at Ulimate Electronics for awhile (before it went bankrupt), I've encountered most of the common questions/confusions regarding HDTV.
Despite the fact the FCC is still hammering away at moving towards all digital signals by end of 2006, for the most part the general public is quite clueless about HDTV and digital television in general.
Alot of people I encountered believed that digital cable is HDTV. In realty, the compression used for digital cable usually makes the picture even crappier than analog cable.
And don't get me started about HDTV-built-in vs. HDTV monitors. Alot of people were dumb-founded that their new $5500 plamsa TV actually wouldn't be able to pick up HDTV signals out of the box, but instead needed to be hooked up to a seperate $500 over-the-air tuner to get any local signals.
And this is just for watching television . ..
My point being is that if Joe and Jane Public are confused by just the appliance used to display a game, they're probably not not going to understand how to get their gaming system to work in HD either. When I see a friend's Xbox hooked up to their HDTV with analog RCA cables (at least try S-Video), I realized that most people either don't know or don't care that they are under-utilizing their expensive investment.

Couple that with the fact that you can turn off the Wi-Fi/3G on the Kindle and make it undetectable anyways.
I am curious if Amazon can "read" a Kindle's inventory list and notice which titles aren't from them.

Wouldn't guns be a better weapons choice than expensive flat TVs?

Ha! I was thinking the exact same thing. Once again a former Oscar winner begins his descent into the drecks of filmdom.
