Wow you had fun with this article!

Who do I send the bill to for a replacement keyboard?

NOOK Simple Touch?

Based on Android so rootable... meaning you can run the kindle software as well... and not even mentioned...

I'm hoping its good cause i have asked santa for it this year!

I should note: If I had had the cash I would have bought a sonos system, they look amasing, just much more than I am willing to spend :/

Squeezebox

I have 2 Squeezebox Classic 3s and one Squeezebox Duet (mainly for the remote!) and I have been incredibly pleased with them. I am planning to get a touch, mainly for the USB Key functionally, but am very disappointed that they are no longer doing the classic as it was fantastic for the price, and I had the chose of hooking it up to shitty PC speakers or digitally to a high quality amp and speakers, or anything in between! The touch is its obvious replacement but is just too expensive!

Google

I could never understand how google made money either or is worth anything, but advertising is obviously worth that much, with the addition of all of the personal data facebook is assimilating I can totally see it being worth a lot. Though I would have no idea how to quantify it!

If they then move there ads outside of facebook and compete with google's adwords its anyones guess how much more/less it could be worth dependent on the result of that battle.

Not sucking at all!

Surely its not actually sucking $A1.37 billion out of the Australian economy as I'm guessing that people would either not have spent that money or are just spending it on something else (such as replacing all there flood damaged electronics!).

ie the same amount of money is going in to the economy, just not to the movie industry...
