Get More from Your e-Reader: Instapaper
If you use a dedicated e-reader to read
Instapaper works by giving you a bookmark to click any time you want to view a Web page later on your e-reader. Then, from your Internet-enabled mobile device, you can read the articles at your leisure. For those folks with a Kindle, Instapaper provides a free delivery service that sends batches of articles to your Amazon account. It's important to realize Amazon will charge you for 3G-based deliveries, but if your Kindle supports Wi-Fi, delivery is free as well.
Instapaper is great if you don't like to do the bulk of your reading in a Web browser, but still want to read the latest news from the Internet. The service is currently free, but you can become a subscriber for $1 a month and support the company. Instapaper is available at http://www.instapaper.com.

White Paper
Fabric-Based Computing Enables Optimized Hyperscale Data Centers
Today’s modular x86 servers are compute-centric, designed as a least common denominator to support a wide range of IT workloads. Those generic, virtualized IT workloads have much different resource optimization requirements than hyperscale and cloud applications. They have resulted in a “one size fits all” enterprise IT architecture that is not optimized for a specific set of IT workloads, and especially not emerging hyperscale workloads, such as web applications, big data, and object storage. In this report, you will learn how shifting the focus from traditional compute-centric IT architectures to an innovative disaggregated fabric-based architecture can optimize and scale your data center.

Red Hat White Paper: Using an Open Source Framework to Catch the Bad Guy
Built-in forensics, incident response, and security with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6
Every security policy provides guidance and requirements for ensuring adequate protection of information and data, as well as high-level technical and administrative security requirements for a system in a given environment. Traditionally, providing security for a system focuses on the confidentiality of the information on it. However, protecting the data integrity and system and data availability is just as important. For example, when processing United States intelligence information, there are three attributes that require protection: confidentiality, integrity, and availability.

Free Webinar: Linux Backup and Recovery
Most companies incorporate backup procedures for critical data, which can be restored quickly if a loss occurs. However, fewer companies are prepared for catastrophic system failures, in which they lose all data, the entire operating system, applications, settings, patches and more, reducing their system(s) to “bare metal.” After all, before data can be restored to a system, there must be a system to restore it to.
In this one hour webinar, learn how to enhance your existing backup strategies for better disaster recovery preparedness using Storix System Backup Administrator (SBAdmin), a highly flexible bare-metal recovery solution for UNIX and Linux systems.

I think that it is really nice to use another device for this and I am sure that you can't have any problem with this.

instapaper
Works mostly as advertised if I use Firefox. If I use Chrome the bookmark-bar button does not work. I use a bleeding edge version of chrome (17.0.963.12 dev) which may be the problem, but instapaper is the only thing out there that seems to not work with my chrome.
My one complaint on instapaper is that images in the web article don't make to the kindle. I recently sent a long article that referenced two figures that were absent. Otherwise, it worked well.
well, i can use it for my
well, i can use it for my kindle
I love Instapaper
Great post!
Instapaper is really helpful for me, I especially like the ability to read the links in the text mode Instapaper, which eliminates all the noise of the website so you can focus just on content.
I signed up for Instapaper a
I signed up for Instapaper a couple days ago and I really like it. But i have some problems with the Instapaper now. When I read some articles on my Iphone, they get only marked as read on my phone, but not on my online account. Consequently when I have Instapaper email my Kindle the digest of articles, I get all articles I have in my account and not just the unread ones and I had to thumb through articles that I've already read.
The problem with a clause
The problem with a clause like that is: who gets to define what is malicious use? What happens if that entity ceases to make those decisions?mortgage calculator
nice!
Looks like an interesting app.. I am gonna give it a try... thanks!
Readability
Similar to Instapaper, the Readability extension will send web pages to your e-reader for later consumption. Alternatively, it can format the web page in your browser instantly to block everything but the article from view. Really slick.

anyone know if there are any
anyone know if there are any apps available that will print web-pages directly to ebook format? In my view this app will act as a print driver and when I choose "print" menu I'll get have a choice of printing to a file in ebook format which I can then copy to my ebook reader for later reading or just saving the file for posterity.
right on...
Thank you :)
...I'm not just a "troll", but also a subscriber!
Completely Free or Not Completely Free cant be both
If its "completely free" why does it cost a dollar a month? Just saying.
Re:
Well, i didn't see "completely free" anywhere in the article. I did see "currently free" though.
Also, the paragraph said that you can become a subscriber to "support" the company, it is not mandatory.

I prefer Send to Kindle
I use Google Chrome, and I found an extension called Send to Kindle, which is able to send messages directly to my @free.kindle.com email, so it has no Amazon charge at all.
