- $369 for the 32GB non-lte -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 6, 13:49 1
  - yeah, above is the 8.9" -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 6, 13:52
- also, two more things i noticed. the amazon page doesnt give a battery life estimate for the 8.9" version, and the new Fire HDs have "experimental" - tRuMaN Sep 6, 13:48 4
  - Also, groiny's not interested until they get to 11 point. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 14:11
  - that sounds like something Bruce Lee would use to kill a guy. -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 14:01 1

Game of Thrones spoilers are everywhere. Including Amazon's new ad for the Paperwhite. (Don't click if you haven't read all the way through book 3) -- (link) - Inigo Sep 6, 13:44 [Image] 5
- The ad you link to doesn't have anything to do with Thrones, but your comment in the link title does contain the spoiler -- nm - TWuG Sep 6, 13:48 4
  - I`ve read thru book 3, and it was a spoiler for me. Oops -- nm - mud Sep 6, 14:00 1
    - wait, nevermind. Short term memory loss city -- nm - mud Sep 6, 14:14
  - Amazon ninjas. Good on them. That was fast. -- nm - Inigo Sep 6, 13:51
  - Looks like they've already changed it. (it was a definite spoiler page when I clicked the first time) -- nm - Reagen Sep 6, 13:50
Strongbad and spammy...just posted the prizes for the contest - Jim Sep 6, 13:43
Not sure if this was noted, but all HD Fire versions also have HDMI out and Bluetooth -- (link) - oblique Sep 6, 13:36 11
- I noticed the HDMI on the spec list. Bluetooth? Keyboard? Ear piece? Speakers? -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Sep 6, 13:44 1
  - bluetooth, stereo speakers. no idea on other options -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 13:44
- Micro-HDMI. For a second I thought that thing would have to be huge! -- nm - Guigue Sep 6, 13:41
- do we know if google play access is available? -- nm - budice Sep 6, 13:39 7
  - I just got it on a browser and logged in but I haven't downloaded anything. -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 6, 13:46 1
    - You can't download apps from Google Play on the Kindle Fire -- nm - oblique Sep 6, 13:47
  - I guarantee you it is not -- nm - oblique Sep 6, 13:42 4
    - I think the best thing about the new Kindles is that it steps up the game for the other Android tablet makers, just like the first Fire did. - Mop on Mac Pro Sep 6, 13:45 1
      - Kindle Fire HD 7" + HDMI Out = Roku :) -- nm - oblique Sep 6, 13:46
    - Can't you access it via the web browser? -- nm - JaxSean Sep 6, 13:44
    - well not without jailbreaking it -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 13:42

  - I'd give her another try in the role -- nm - Remlik Sep 6, 13:48 3
    - that costume was so sad. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 13:57 2
      - which one she wore two? -- nm - Remlik Sep 6, 13:58 1
        
        yes. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 13:59
Missed this on the first read, "Includes special offers and sponsored screensavers." So, ads, whether I want them or not. -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 6, 13:33 14
- on the $69 kindle, its supported by ads. i dont think any of the others have ads. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 13:41 5
  - Not true, the HD versions have it as well: - oblique Sep 6, 13:42 4
    - so they changed that today, but didnt annouce it? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 13:43 3
      - Do you think they're going to announce "hey, we're putting ads on your screen whether you want them or not"? - spamlet Sep 6, 13:46 2
        
        also, why then are some models sold cheaper than others due to "special offers", doesnt special offers mean ads, while the others are non-ads? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 13:58
        
        yes, considering how they announced the first ad supported stuff. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 13:48
- If it's a Kindle, the ads are about 100% unobtrusive currently. - Will Hunting Sep 6, 13:34 7
  - This. Frankly, they're somewhat pleasant. Better than nothing. -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Sep 6, 13:43
  - I don't have ads on my Fire now. I just hate ads and how they appear *everywhere* these days. I DVR most everything so I can fast-forward thru ads. - CovingtonCat Sep 6, 13:38
  - yuck. no can do. Is there a version that is completely ad free? -- nm - Epiphany Sep 6, 13:37 4
    - guessing the higher priced models are still ad free. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 13:43 1
      - guess not. well, you can always buy an older version that is ad free. -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 13:43
    - I'll take Will's word for it on how noticeable ads are, but I paid for ad-free on both our Kindles. -- nm - TWuG Sep 6, 13:42
    - You pay for it (or did at least)....I'm not kidding, the ads are completely no issue. -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 13:38
I'll bet the guy who bought this Kindle Fire for $212 today on eBay is kicking himself -- (link) - oblique Sep 6, 13:31
ML, Dawson and other lawyers....don't do this. 5 Page Comic Fails to persuade Judge in ebook case... - Remlik Sep 6, 13:27

j, you can at least look forward to Dishonored, isnt it a ps3 exclusive? -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 13:26 5
- More looking forward to The Last of Us -- nm - J Sep 6, 13:33 4
  - did you watch the 15 mins of gameplay that was shown at pax? - tRuMaN Sep 6, 13:42 3
    - No I didn't...do you still have your ps3? you haven't been on in months -- nm - J Sep 6, 13:56 2
      - yes i do, i even have a game i have no played for it - tRuMaN Sep 6, 13:59 1
        
        Great idea -- nm - J Sep 6, 14:10
that +70.5 is supposed to be a record - prayformojo Sep 6, 13:22
Amazon's page for the Fire HD w/4G -- (link) - CovingtonCat Sep 6, 13:22 8
- I had to step away for lunch. Sum up the "250 MB/month for 12 months" thing. No wireless contract? -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Sep 6, 13:24 5
  - LTE service, 250MB/mo cap, $50 per year plus you get 20GB of cloud storage and $10 appstore credit -- nm - oblique Sep 6, 13:25 4
    - You can upgrade to 3gb or 5gb (pricing not on the page & it looks like you upgrade after you get the Fire) -- nm - CovingtonCat Sep 6, 13:29
    - I never have to deal with AT&T of Verizon? -- nm - Mop on Mac Pro Sep 6, 13:25 2
      - i believe you just pay amazon, they pay the carrier, but the site i read wasnt sure -- nm - tRuMaN Sep 6, 13:44
      - It's AT&T service, but I imagine it works like Whispernet in that regard -- nm - oblique Sep 6, 13:27
- Want -- nm - amoxy Sep 6, 13:23 1
  - The Fire HD (7") is worth the $40 upgrade from the upgraded original for the camera I think -- nm - oblique Sep 6, 13:28
TNA knockout Winter is done with the company. -- nm - Remlik Sep 6, 13:18 3
- Last woman left, please turn out the lights. -- nm - David Sep 6, 13:19 2

- That tickles -- nm - ty97 Sep 6, 13:18
- *gives b2 a stern warning to be mindful of it's surroundings* -- nm - Will Hunting Sep 6, 13:18 2
  - I mean, truly, what did it expect? nm -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 13:19 1
    - I mean, there's always going to be somebody drunker or just caring less, so it should probably never go out where others are. - Will Hunting Sep 6, 13:26
Went to World Market for lunch and got a Blood Orange 42% Cacao Chocolate Bar - amoxy Sep 6, 13:16 17
- speaking of this - tried the San Pelligrino Limonata and Blood Orange - very tart - I can't even imagine the grapefruit one -- nm - Epiphany Sep 6, 13:32 1
  - i think the grapefruit is less tart than the lemon, actually. (i *love* san pellegrino!) -- nm - Andie Sep 6, 13:34
- *VOMITS* nm -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 13:17 14
  - have you never eaten a "Terry's Chocolate Orange" ? -- nm - Andie Sep 6, 13:39
  - They have some very strange chocolate bars there - amoxy Sep 6, 13:19 12
    - I'm on a sea salt carmel kick these days - so yummy -- nm - Epiphany Sep 6, 13:32 1
      - *dips my junk in a vat of sea sale caramel* nm -- nm - groiny Sep 6, 13:34
    - Chocolate + chili is awesome. you should try it. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 13:25 8
      - No, no it is not...The flavors conflict too much -- nm - amoxy Sep 6, 13:30 7
        
        rule o' thumb: that which grows together tends to go together -- nm - zeitgeist Sep 6, 13:56
        
        not on my palate. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 13:37
        
        no, they really don't. -- nm - znufrii Sep 6, 13:33 4
        
        The one bar I had had a nice chocolate flavor then a nasty aftertaste of chipotle - amoxy Sep 6, 13:37 3
        
        wel, just because you may have had a crappy one is no reason to dismiss the entire concept. :) -- nm - znufrii Sep 6, 13:38 2
        
        I just don't like the concept. I tried to see if I was wrong -- nm - amoxy Sep 6, 13:47 1
        
        I think you might give it another chance. another brand. -- nm - loosilu Sep 6, 13:55
    - I tried the chili pepper chocolate. - groiny Sep 6, 13:20
