Been waiting patiently for the next-generation Kindle(s) to hit the market? Growing increasingly frustrated with the wait? Thanks to the Amazon e-reader becoming Oprah Winfrey’s “new favorite, favorite thing in the world (can’t you see the jubilation on her face?),” you might just have to finally pull the trigger on the existing iteration. As a special offer for Oprah Show viewers (and by extension, everyone who reads this post), Amazon.com is now offering $50 off of the Kindle’s $359 price tag by simply entering the code OPRAHWINFREY at checkout and envisioning Tom Cruise leaping on your computer desk. Better act fast, though — the offer’s only good through November 1st, and yes, that Tom Cruise bit is required.
[Thanks, Chad]

Look, Dan Hesse is an intelligent individual, which means he knew good and well that he’d start a flame war when making one particular comment to the National Press Club in Washington. The CEO of Sprint casually proclaimed that he didn’t feel Android (in its current form) was “good enough to put the Sprint brand on.” In all fairness, Sprint has shown a friendly side to Google in the past, and he did promise to sell an Android-powered phone “at some time in the future,” but asserting that Sprint is in the position to shy away from what’s arguably the most exciting thing to happen to the mobile realm since the advent of the iPhone is, um, questionable at best.

I’m about to conduct a new personal experiment that’s likely to put my polyphasic sleep and raw food diet trials to shame. Starting today, I’m kicking off a 92-day juice feast.
This means that for the next 3 months, I won’t be eating any solid foods. Instead I’ll be consuming lots and lots of fresh fruit [...]

As Westinghouse realizes that the digital photo frame market is about as over-saturated as possible right now, not to mention just how boring the whole notion has become, it has resorted to pulling in a “world renowned” name in photography in order to help push its forthcoming line. But it doesn’t end with just a namedrop — oh no, Westy’s latest release has completely and entirely failed to divulge any information whatsoever on the specifications of any of its impending frames. No screen sizes, no resolutions, no capacities, nothing. Just paragraph after paragraph of how awesome it will be to have some of Anne Geddes’ photographs mixed in with your own lame attempts at capturing life’s most precious moments when you buy one of these elusive units this winter (at undisclosed price points, no less). Nice going, Westinghouse.

Philips’ GoGear line hasn’t exactly sent us into uncontrollable fits of jubilation of late, but the latest DAP to fall under the aforesaid umbrella doesn’t look half bad. Boasting a prism-like motif and integrated Bluetooth 2.1 functionality, this unit will actually pause your tunes and allow you to answer a call if your BT-enabled phone is nearby and paired up. It also features 10-hours of playback time and 100-hours in standby, and there’s an FM tuner included in case you roll through 2GB of jams and just can’t bear to hear any of them again. Word on the street has it that this bugger will surface in Singapore next month for around S$139 ($92), though other Asian countries should see it pop up shortly thereafter.
