    A pop up book about the LHC should also have a page showing massive piles of money being sucked into a vortex. #atlaspopupbook

    Yes. The ability to "squirt" to another owner. That will help B&N overcome the Kindle's lead.

    There is an Indian movie "Swades (2004) " on the same lines (Hindi)

    Swades is inspired by the story of Aravinda Pillalamarri and Ravi Kuchimanchi the NRI couple who returned to India and developed the pedal power generator to light remote, off-the-grid village schools.

    @StupendousMan: Hey Suyog, is that you? nice seeing you here man.

    Swades is good, but this is better. This guy did not have ANY education, whereas our protagonist was doing well for himself.

    Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence; talent will not; nothing is more common than an unsuccessful man with talent; education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts; genius will not; unrewarded genius will not. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan "press on" has solved, and always will solve the problems of the human race.
