If you are interested in learning a second (or third) language, never mind Rosetta Stone. Well, you could mind it, but I don’t see much of a point. There is an online service called Mango Languages that offers a full line of language learning interactive material. It can be free. Let me explain. If you join directly from your computer, there will be a fee, but if you are a member of a public library and possibly some private libraries, they may have a subscription to Mango Language, in which case, you can log on through your public library (you can do it from home) and get all the language learning material you could possibly need short of being in a country or region where people are speaking the language you are learning.Mango Languages

Here is a non-partisan directory describing higher education — colleges, universities, fees, COMPLETE SCHOLARSHIP INFORMATION, just about everything you need to know. It doesn’t try to steer you to a particular school, and it’s definitely worth checking out.

Samsung announces availability of ebook reader E-60 with touchpad technology

Last time I’ll mention the Samsung E-60, an e-book reader I’m excited about. The new retail release date is now March 18, 2010. Here’s a Youtube demonstration.

“>

The announcement was made on 3/9/10.  The Samsung ereader will be available shortly. It’s retail price is now supposed to be $299, not $399 as predicted.  It is touch sensitive and will lessen the potential for nerve damage in the hand and arm. There were reports it was going to be sold through Barnes & Noble. Apparently this isn’t correct. However, B&N puportedly has a business partnership with Samsung to provide content. If you are reading this on March 10th or 11th, you will not find if for sale.  Try searching beginning March 12th. It will be interesting how many entries the E-60 will get.
