While waiting to get into the Apple Store this morning for the Watch there were a few people who showed up wanting to buy the new super-sleek and super-innovative MacBook, but none were available in store.

While the MacBook, which is the first Apple portable to be sold in the three iPhone colours of Gold, Silver and Space Grey, is available for purchase online, shipping times reflect a 3-4 week wait period before shipping.

Kindle for Android update helps you read difficult words with ease 

Amazon's latest update for Kindle on Android will make it easier to get through hard text. The company introduced the new Word Wise feature to the app. What this does is it displays the definitions of hard words right above what you're reading so it'll be easier to look up meanings. The feature will be especially useful if you're learning English or have a child learning vocabulary. However, it isn't available for all books. According to Amazon, it's "available on many popular English language titles." 

This version 4.11.0 update also introduces the ability to make flash cards, improved manga navigation, and some bug fixes for the app.

Learn Klingon with Duolingo 

Nope. This isn't an April Fool's joke. There will come a time when you will be able to learn Klingon online. Duolingo just announced that they'll be carrying a Klingon course. For those who don't know, Klingon is the fictional language on Star TrekIt was created by Marc Okrand. According to Duolingo the language is quite direct and mixes in sense of humour and "plenty of insults." It revolves largely around "spacecraft, weaponry, and warfare." Of course, we don't have to tell the Trekkies that. But if this seems to be something you'd be interested in. You can have Duolingo let you know when the course is up. Now, if someone can teach me Sindarin, that would be awesome.
