U.S. Publisher takes Action over Harry Potter Leak

Topic:

By Michelle Nichols

NEW YORK (Reuters) - Copies of the final Harry Potter book have already been shipped to customers by one U.S. online retailer, U.S. publisher Scholastic said on Wednesday, and purported copies of the novel have flooded the Internet.

Scholastic Corp. said it was taking legal action against book distributor Levy Home Entertainment and DeepDiscount.com for breaching an embargo preventing the seventh Harry Potter book from being sold in America before 12:01 a.m./0401 GMT on Saturday. The publisher said Levy delivered the books to the online retailer.

People started receiving copies of "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows" on Tuesday, but the number of copies shipped only made up "around one one-hundredth of one percent" of the 12 million copies due to go on sale, Scholastic said. Read more

Canary Wireless Digital Hotspotter LCD Wi-fi Detector Review

Topic:

Canary Wireless LLC sent us their Digital Hotspotter HS10 gadget for review.

The Digital Hotspotter announced by Canary Wireless in November 2004 seems to be still the only Wi-fi detector with an LCD display on the market. The LCD display is great to have on a Wi-fi network detector as it directly tells you the strength and more important if its secure or open. Other information displayed are SSID and channel.

I tested the Canary Wireless Digital Hotspotter at home and outside. It picked up my network without problems. I just have to push a button and it scans for networks. If the first one displayed is not usable another push of the button brings the next one if available. Read more

Harry Potter Mania The 5th Time Around

Topic:

Yesterday midnight the 5th book of the Harry Potter Series went on Sale -- you did not miss it did you ?

The NY Daily News writes:
"Fans cheered and applauded at Toys "R" Us in Times Square as Grammy Award-winner Jim Dale, creator of the 134 voices for the Potter books on tape, did the countdown to sales time. But the crowd was so big, only 100 people at a time were let in." NYDailyNews.
Oh by the way the NYDailyNews got hit with a 100 Mio. USD law-suit, because they published details from the book, which they bought in stores that mistakenly put it on sale to early. See this Fox News Story

It is interesting that a book can be as exciting as a new Star Wars Movie release or a new Game Console.

Me personally i only have anticipation for the upcoming Half Life 2.

Buy Now:
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Deluxe Edition
Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix - Standard Edition (Amazon.com #1 Sales Rank)
