Comment on Results of Kindle User Demographic Survey by An interested Individual

Hi there, so while this interesting of itself, I think you should talk to a statistician and the census regarding the income and use distribution.

What would be interesting is were you to compare the income and % used data after controlling for the % of people in each income bracket in the country. My guess is that when you do control for that, you will have much more interesting results.

I expect that a significantly larger portion of the population that makes more than, say 60,000, are using the kindle than the fraction of the sub 60,000 who use a kindle. I expect that then the % use will highly correlate with income.

Any other interesting spot to discuss with is Inanda, which was once the birthplace of both the Shembe religion and Natal Native Congress, which later turned into the African Nationwide Congress. It was also where Mahatma Ghandi, who lived there at the related time these two different movements had been beginning, pioneered the concept of Satyagrah, or passive resistance. Actually, somewhat crucible of global history.

Comment on Tiki Carries Torch for Hot Intern by Gentleman Jack

Not actually, but basically, yes. Luckily, Katrina Bowden remains inexplicably available – not to mention under worked. The highlight of her career outside 30 Rock has been as the female lead in Ratko: The Dictator’s Son, a screwball comedy about a dictator’s son at an American college – which I have seen most of.
