Link roundup

1. My Twitter feed today had twice the number of Tweets as usual today - - all Nick Denton retweeting people telling him how incredible i09's new design is. (If that's progress, I don't want any part of it. It's certainly easy on the eyes, but it's like the front page of a newspaper, with even less information.)

2. The BBTS has preorder listings for 3.75" Assassin's Creed action figures.

3. Headlines today: (1) Apple rejects Sony's eReader app, are Amazon and Dark Horse next?; (2) Microsoft caught stealing Google's search results for Bing; (3) Google works to help Egyptians use Twitter via a voice connection. Which company are you routing for?
