• Amazon’s Android App Store Launches: Test Drive Apps Directly From Your Browser: The ability to preview apps in browser is pretty wild, and very cool.

• Digital Subscription Prices Visualized (aka The New York Times Is Delusional): Best critique of this new New York Times paywall thing that I've seen yet:
  

  "Does The Times really think the mass audience is going to decide their $455/year is better spent on The Times rather than getting 20+ free articles/month from The Times plus The Wall Street Journal ($207/year) plus The Economist ($110/year) plus say The Daily ($39/year) for good measure, and still having ~$100 left over each year?"

• Japan earthquake has implications for Moore's Law, too: Good rundown of how different parts of the tech industry might be affected by the earthquake in Japan.

• Local Q&A: Patrick Stump: Nice, short, interview with Patrick Stump, before he heads out on tour.

• The Daily Sabs: Waiting it out with my new pals: People are still lining up overnight for iPad 2's? I fail to see how this can be considered a "win" for Apple.
