Amazon.com finally unveiled their much talked about e-book reader a few weeks ago. In a Manhattan launch event, the Kindle was revealed to the world. The gadget weighs 10 ounces and will cost $400.
The Kindle measures 7.5 - by - 5 inches and has the ability to store up to 200 books. It will use the EVDO cellular network in order to wirelessly connect to Amazon itself. It has a storage capacity of 180MB and you can have the option to buy an SD memory card for more storage.
The Kindle will not win any graphic design awards. It has the bland look of computers of yore and is ho-hum boring in looks.
It would be interesting to see if an e-book reader will capture the attention of buyers. I know that previous e-books have failed to really ignite the market.

Mention the word Link and console gaming fans will immediately know that you are referring to the iconic Nitnendo character that has graced many of the greatest adventure games ever put into pixels. Over the decades Link has undergone an evolution that reflects how gaming as a phenomenon affected the way people see video games. The classic Zelda games are some of the most favorite games ever created and Link has become not just a lovable in-game character or mascot, he has evolved into a cultural icon.
With Link’s Crossbow Training set to hit stores this month, IGN has decided to come out with a great article on Link’s evolution. The article delves into Link’s earliest incarnations to the latest look of our favorite character. Check it out by clicking here.

Casting for the live action Dragon Ball Z continues with some very interesting choices. One of the first people to be cast was of course the actor that will play Goku and Justin Chatwin was given that honor. Chatwin does not have a very long acting resume, having only knocked appearances in Smallville and Lost. He also had a minor role in War of The Worlds.
The other actor cast is James Marsters, who is well known among geek circles as the vampire Spike in Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Marsters has been cast in the role of Piccolo. Kind of a weird character to play but it would be interesting to see him nonetheless.
Another recent addition to the cast is Mexican Actress Camila Sodi, who will play Bulma. The male geek population will surely pay attention here because Sodi is quite beautiful.
The Dragon Ball Z movie will be produced by HK superstar Stephen Chow and will be directed by Final Destination’s James Wong. If it were up to me, I’d rather have Chow direct the movie as well.
