Amazon has a rather cheeky ad on its homepage right now comparing its Kindle Fire HD to the newly-unveiled iPad mini. The ad opens with, of all things, a Gizmodo quote. “…your [Apple's] 7.9-inch tablet has far fewer pixels than the competing 7-inch tablets! You’re cramming a worse screen in there, charging more, and accusing others of compromise? Ballsy.”
Nah, what’s ballsy is drawing on quotes from Gizmodo in support of your product. If Apple discovered a cure for cancer, all Gizmodo would do is complain about the resulting population explosion.
What’s not up for debate is the difference in pixel counts — the Kindle Fire HD does indeed offer “much more for much less” — but I’m willing to bet that a lot of people firing off support for this statistic are the same ones who claimed Retina Displays on Macs and iPads are “overkill” and all those extra pixels don’t matter. “Ballsy” indeed.
Amazon’s table doesn’t tell the whole story, either, so I’ve decided to help them out.

Touting it as a “new gaming experience for Kindle Fire,” Amazon on Wednesday launched GameCircle, a social network for games akin to Apple’s Game Center.
A new form of browser-based cross-platform malware can give hackers remote access to computers running Apple’s OS X, Microsoft’s Windows, and even Linux.
The new Notification Center service of OS X Mountain Lion, a feature borrowed from iOS, goes beyond its mobile sibling to offer a direct way to send tweets from the desktop. It does not however have iOS 5′s live ticker updates for widgets such as Weather and Stocks, something OS X presents in Dashboard instead.
