New search technology from Google is headline news here at Tech Fun Books… but they need more than just these two types of plus boxes! why not video, books, and scholarly articles?

From The Leaky Cauldron:

In a major announcement today about their intent to print Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows book on recycled paper, Scholastic, the US publishers of the Harry Potter novels said that the last Harry Potter book will have “784″ pages.

This will make the book the second longest of the series, behind Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix which has 870 pages. It also edges out “Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire” which has 734 pages.

Holy Hogwarts! Is it true that Emma Watson, 16-year-old child star of the Harry Potter films, will not be coming back for the final two installments of the multi-billion-dollar-grossing movie franchise? That’s what more than one British tabloid reported over this past weekend. But, as with stories filed by the hideous journalist character Rita Skeeter in the Potter books, the so-called “news” about Watson turns out to be untrue.

Tip of the hat to Entertainment Weekly for the great title!

The Airbus 380 photo is one of the most popular pages on my blog. Go figure!

I still think this is a horrible idea – an eight-hundred-passenger disaster waiting to happen.
