    • 163: Kindle Bubbles

      This week there's a bunch of news from the world of entertainment. Apple's new TV execs made their first big deal in Hollywood, which brings up lots of questions about what Apple's video service will be and when it will arrive. There's also a new service that brings your iTunes purchases to Amazon and Google and vice versa. Speaking of Amazon, there's also a new Kindle you can take in the bathtub--if you have a good bathtub.

      • 162: The Spider Is a Metaphor
