No it's more due to me not wishing to stick random things into plug sockets...

I know that technically sticking something unconductive into the ground is "safe" but I have 2 small nephews who visit I don't want them picking up bad habits.

tribble: could you try to look into some files? You could load this HTML file:

can any owner post pictures of themselves holding the reader one handed?
I know it's a weird request but ive drawn out out the sizes of various readers and it looks like the liad is slighly too big to hold resting against your palm with your fingers on both opposite edges.
Secondly i'd like to see a video of someone navigating pages one handed, is it easy?

All there, quite some interesting information you can find there.

One picture (not of me but of my wife - mind you she has smaller hands than me) you'll find here:
http://static.flickr.com/53/18961904...a76016.jpg?v=0

As she is reading a book, the only navigation is page-forward/-backward which is easily done with one hand ("page-flip-bar").
Otherwise "navigation" to specific page, instead of next-previous, seems only possible with two hands (needs the pen).

I think its way to big for holding it on your palm and having your fingers on both side (maybe if you are the long lost Yeti it might be able

) but you don't have to hold it like this.

I hold my PPC this way for reading but the ilead is much more like a book. You can hold it with one hand and flip the sides with the bar in a comfortable way. Now it is also clear why they don't made the backside of the ilead plain. Its very comfortable to grab the ilead with the "rough" backside.

Yap, just dont want to post images of all the info. Trying to use some javascript to send the info in textform to another machine in my lan. Lets see if that works. But i am kind of busy tonight, so dont expect it today. But there is quite some info to see. So i would say, the browser has root privileges. Lets see, what we can doo with that

are you sure about that? I doubt that they would make such a failure on a DRM machine. Otherwise ... *ouch*

Hm, it doesn't mean root privileges (on my debian, all these files are user-readable).

But even if, it doesn't mean drm is broken. There could be a crypto/tpm chip and some clever stuff in the kernel.

Whoops. Except /var/log/messages of course, so this may be a hint for firefox running as root.

Thanks for the picture! You have made this Saturday a happy one!

It is not a bug Dher, but compliance with specifications of javascript and html forms. Any browser is expected to do it.

Of course bugs and exploits could lie ahead.
