#ThrowbackThursday: Touring Bizarre Mountain on Planet of Cubes

In our first Throwback Thursday post in Planet of Cubes, I wanted to look back on what appears to be one of my more popular posts: Bizarre Mountain. If you haven't been yet, you'll find some interesting structures built along the mountains and in the valleys. And while there aren't many people who frequent Bizarre Mountain, you've got more than enough material there to create your heart away. One of the main sights I haven't seen yet are people building into the mountain, you know like in the Lord of The Rings: Planet of Cubes players - Challenge given!

Yeah, so who died?

So yeah, who died? -- I ventured into the Mighty Trees area Tuesday and came across this grave. I'm not sure who this represents, but rest in peace indeed. Obviously the creator the grave had someone in mind they were reflecting on and came up with this memorial inside Planet of Cubes. What do you think? Have you ever done this? It's a different take in grieving the loss of a loved one indeed - But if gaming and real life mirror one another, what of it? Rest in peace.

Amazon has driven most of the competition out of the e-reader market because the Seattle company can afford to sell their hardware as cheap as possible, knowing they can make it up with e-book sales. You can purchase an entry level Kindle for $79 or the Paperwhite 3 for $139. Last year, Amazon released the Kindle Voyage, which is a premium e-reader and it carries a hefty price tag of $199. Customers bought the Voyage in such high numbers that this is prompting Amazon to develop a successor that will be released this November. The Amazon Kindle Voyage 2 will redefine what an e-reader is capable of in a myriad of ways. It will utilize the new Freescale I.MX 7 1 GHZ dual core processor which will dramatically increase the overall performance. This chipset has been optimized with e Ink Regal and the end product will be true refresh free page turns. Whenever you turn a page in an e-book you will notice a small, but discernible flicker. Every six pages it even becomes more pronounced and it breaks immersion. This will be a thing of the past with the advent of the Kindle Voyage 2. How does Amazon plan on doing it, where all others have failed? In the past, all e-readers handled everything on the software level, which limited them on the things they could do. Now things are quite different, the i.MX7 adds a Cortex-M4 microcontroller unit core for offloading processing. This will give Amazon the power to basically send all strenuous tasks directly to the processor and there will also be some added benefits.The world's largest Internet retailer, Amazon.com, Inc. AMZN has added a new social reading feature - Instant Preview - to its Kindle app on Google's GOOGL Android platform, to cash in on the increasing popularity of electronic gadgets. The updates will be available on Kindle e-readers, including the recently launched New Kindle Paperwhite, and other devices later this year. Kindle New Instant Preview Feature The new Kindle sharing feature lets users share snippets from ebooks with friends or family through messaging apps like Facebook FB Messenger, email, SMS and WhatsApp. The users can also share quotes and recommendations via other social media platforms like LinkedIn or Google+. Upon receiving recommendation from a Kindle owner, one can read the preview of a book instantly on their mobile devices or desktop without signing into a Kindle account or downloading a Kindle app. Earlier, readers could share quoted text on Facebook and Twitter via Goodreads, helping them to freely search and share books, but not via a messaging platform. Moreover, the new sharing feature resembles the Kindle Cloud Reader, with flexible text sizes and better page-turning experience.
