My Kindle ate my homework....
To paraphrase some comedian, "If my dog ate as much homework as I said he did he'd be passing firelogs." Times change and I noticed an article over at TG Daily about a poor kid who says his Kindle ate his homework when Amazon removed George Orwell's 1984 from all Kindles. He is now filing a class action lawsuit against the online retailer for the loss of the notes he made on the device for a school. The 17 year old claims he was almost halfway through the book when Amazon pulled the plug.
There is some legal analysis at the link.
