TechCrunch – We were somewhat sad when Barnes & Noble sent their PR firm to accept their award for the Nook for Best Gadget of 2009 at the Crunchies in January. Traditionally only Apple blows off the awards, and we’ve always been able to work around that . But apparently Barnes & Noble are at least aware that they won the award. They are using it to promote the Nook on in-store posters, we learned recently. We sent TechCruncher Laura Boychenko over to the local Barnes &...

Betaworks had previously raised about $8 million from the likes of the Pilot...

All Things Digital – BoomTown is always up at 5:30 am PT, but now I will apparently be joined by twitch-fingered Apple fanboys, waiting for the iPad pre-order rush to begin this morning. Currently, the Apple Store online has this note of heady anticipation (A Post-It ? Katie, surely you could do better!)
