What Is Driving Consumer Satisfaction in the eBook Reader Universe?

Crimson Hexagon analysis reveals 27% view device and cross-platform content portability as critical to satisfaction — surprisingly smart phones lead the way despite smaller screens.

Tallying-up the “Inglorious” Reception: Someday is Today

Inglorious Basterds won at the box office and dominated Twitter conversations this weekend. In addition to grossing nearly $37 million, Quentin Tarantino’s World War II-themed saga has been afixed to Twitter’s trending topics list since Friday.

Vox Twitter on Chrome OS

Boatloads of Twitter chatter on Google’s launch of the Chrome OS… Curious how it all breaks down?

We’re inclined to agree with the 15% expressing some variant of ‘The OS War has begun.’
