A recipe mistakenly called for "salt and freshly ground black people" instead of "pepper."

The "Pasta Bible" - a recently released cookbook - made its publishing company lose cash vs. weight over a really bad typo.

According to the NY Daily News, Penguin Australia must fork over a large chunck of cash to reprint 7,000 copies of the "Pasta Bible" after mistakenly printing: "salt and freshly ground black people" instead of "pepper".

I bet they cannot wait to release their next cookbook on the iPad.

About that... My friend Dana developed a cookbook iPad app that would be ideal for them...
Dear Penguin, let me know if you'd like an introduction :)

And thanks to my friend Lukas for posting the news on his Facebook.

Amazon's 420,000+ books available via its new Blackberry Kindle App

Before stumbling Wireless Week's news regarding the launch of the 'Kindle for Blackberry', I had lunch (actually it was more of a brunch) with a friend who was reading Les Echos on his Kindle.

Getting on the iPad seems to be Amazon's next step on sealing a very incesteous relationship with Apple...
