I AM THE 1% #occupywallst #NYC

Boss Tweed, Thomas Nast
Boss Tweed epitomizes the greed and graft in New York City.

William M. Tweed also created one of the most beautiful buildings in Manhattan, right behind City Hall. After paying-off the construction workers who were his friends, the original New York City Courthouse was built at a cost of ten times the standard market rates for construction in the 1860s. The "Tweed Courthouse" is now used by the Board of Education.

What is the Kindle Fire Color eReader?

Amplify’d from www.squidoo.com
Entire books are stored electronically that can be downloaded and viewed on electronic book readers or "eReader". And now, ebooks can be rented from the library, and magazines can be viewed in full color on a lightweight device that s more than half the price of an Apple iPad.

This is the one we've been waiting for - Kindle in color!
What is the Kindle Fire? Amazon is in the market of making eReaders - electronic book readers that can download hundreds of free books and current best-sellers.
Magazines in full color
The Fire is the only Kindle with Amazon Silk, so you can surf the net and watch YouTube or check Facebook. Web pages load fast with dual-processing over the cloud network. You can watch Abode Flash applications with Silk for an engaging experience with multi-media websites (Apple iThings do not play Flash software). That alone is one of the best reasons to buy the Kindle Fire.
Fire has double the amount of memory as the other Kindle models (8GB total) so you can store apps, movies, music and books. But who needs storage when there's the Cloud? It's free to store any digital product purchased at Amazon for a wireless reading device on the Cloud Drive.
