The Kindle display…dead after two days

(Credit: Matt Asay)

I was planning to write about how much I’m loving the Amazon Kindle. I got one to try to consolidate some of the weight and clutter I routinely carry with me on trips in the form of books/magazines/newspapers, and spent several hours on my Cincinnati to London flight totally loving the device.

The wireless connectivity and other technological features of the Kindle are nice, but that’s not where it shines, in my view. No, it’s the feel of the Kindle that’s astounding. I read for hours, surprised by how well it rested in my hands and by the exceptional display.

Well, the display was “exceptional” until it stopped working. I got to my hotel an hour ago and, since I couldn’t yet check in, decided to open up the Kindle to read. Despite having used it just two hours ago on the train into London, and having done totally nothing that could have physically impacted the screen (Rode in a taxi? Checked in at my hotel? The Kindle was safely protected in my bag all the while…), the screen is apparently dead.

The guys who comprise 280 North aren’t actually working on any Mac applications. I tracked them down because what they are doing — bringing the quality and usability of the Mac experience to the internet — is remarkable. Their web application, 280 Slides, turns making beautiful, web-based presentations into swift work. It’s built on a platform called Cappuccino, using what they’ve dubbed Objective-J (named for its similarities to Objective-C) — a library they created which provides a highly useful layer of functionality to standard javascript. According to 280 North, Objective-J provides a web development platform that is more Cocoa-like by removing a lot of the lower-level variables that are the bane of most web developers. Simple cross-browser compatibility, anyone?

2 of the three members of 280 North are former Apple employees, working on the iPhone and iTunes, respectively. They say that 280 Slides isn’t so much “Apple-inspired” as it is “good-inspired,” but the Keynote resemblance is hard to deny, especially in comparison to other, less-polished web-based presentation apps. 280 Slides is still a work-in-progress, but these guys are coding hard and fast to build what’s going to be an excellent application. Check out the video (after the jump) and then take a peek at 280 Slides.

While perhaps no indication of what these companies are buying, it’s still interesting to discover that Bank of America, Hewlett-Packard, General Electric, IBM, Siemens, Toshiba, Honeywell, and Nortel have downloaded and installed Projity’s OpenProj, an open-source replacement for Microsoft Project.

They’re not alone. As Projity CEO Marc O’Brien recently told Linux.com’s Tina Gasperson, …

Havoc Pennington has long been one of the pioneers of the Linux desktop movement, and a primary GNOME developer. Once at Red Hat, now at Litl (cool name, by the way), Havoc should be the poster boy for Linux desktop advocacy.

Nope.

In a current blog post, Havoc rubbished the idea of anyone needing a new (traditional) desktop:…
