Cyber Monday Deals

Quick heads up. Amazon is running a huge sale on ebooks to celebrate Cyber Monday. Lot's of the titles are from "indie" publisher Open Road. I picked up Lilith's Brood: Dawn, Adulthood Rites, and Imago by Octavia Butler. That and Cloud Roads will be my Christmas reading.




Another sweet (but perhaps bad sign for Microsoft shareholders) deal is Windows 8 64-bit System Builder DVDs for only 70 bucks. I don't really recommend upgrading from Windows 7, but if you are building a new PC, this beats the Windows 7 Home Edition System Builder DVD price by over 20 bucks. Add a third-party hack and you can enjoy the faster boot times and improved encryption of Windows 8 while retaining the look and feel of Windows 7.



Happy Holidays,

B.

Update 11/27/2012: The sales are over. : (
