Google's plan to create a giant digital library and bookstore has run into another roadblock from the Justice Department. 

Last Thursday, the Justice Department said that a class-action settlement between the company and groups representing authors and publishers had significant legal problems, even after recent revisions.

The revised agreement appeared to impinge on authors’ copyrights and was too broad in scope.

Google Spokesman Gabriel Stricker said the Justice Department’s filing, “recognizes the progress made with the revised settlement, and it once again reinforces the value the agreement can provide in unlocking access to millions of books in the U.S.”

The Ray liquid crystal on silicon (LCoS) pico projector from Ray Displays may not be much bigger than a deck of cards, but the tiny projector packs a lot of punch.

This is really cool, especially the part about the 3g subscription for 25 bucks a month.

Posted: Feb/08/2010 at 9:31am

So the iPad is going to released shortly and is being promoted as the web in a tablet or something like that by Apple.  So is the lack of flash a deal breaker here?
 
People are arguing that the iPhone/iTouch have never had flash, but I argue that they browse the web as a secondary function.  The iPad having a large screen is more suited for web browsing.
 
Here is an idea of how the web looks without flash :)
