| Hack Your Nook Simple Touch Into a Super E-Reader in Three Easy Steps Posted: 08 Oct 2013 12:30 PM PDT  Modifying the Nook Simple Touch allows it to play games, browse, read RSS and more. However, even rooted, E Ink technology causes jarring page turns and pretty awful performance. Fortunately, a hack can turn a rooted Nook into a full-fledged, game-playing tablet. The modification enables multi-touch, full-motion display, Android 2.1 Éclair and more. You may have read about other methods for modifying the Nook. Unfortunately, most of the articles available don’t cover the latest methods developed at XDA, which includes better pinch-to-zoom, improved faster refresh (known as FastMode2), overclocking the Nook, on-the-go functionality and more. But enough lecture, here’s video... Read the full article: Hack Your Nook Simple Touch Into a Super E-Reader in Three Easy Steps |

| Tony Stark For Next Microsoft CEO [We Ask You Results] Posted: 08 Oct 2013 11:45 AM PDT  Steve Ballmer is on his way out at Microsoft. After 13 years as the leader of the Redmond corporation, he’s stepping down from the role that has made him a legend in his own time. Perhaps not legendary for his ability to lead Microsoft to new heights of popularity and prosperity, but legendary for his public displays of egregious emotion and enthusiasm. With Ballmer soon to be living out his days sitting atop his estimated $18 billion fortune, Microsoft needs to find a new CEO willing to take Microsoft in a new direction.

(Yes) Posted: 08 Oct 2013 10:30 AM PDT  Reeder, which was the best Google Reader client for Mac, stopped working when Google Reader did back in July. And while Reeder2 for Mac is supposedly on the way, users can be forgiven for their impatience at this point. Luckily there’s an answer: ReadKit (Mac App Store, $6.99). Bakari showed you how ReadKit combines various bookmarking services earlier this year, but a lot’s changed since then. Google Reader died, for one thing, and several alternatives have popped up. ReadKit’s developers, the Hungary-based Webin, took advantage of these shifts by adding many of these alternatives to their reading software. Today ReadKit is a...
