For the next couple of days, y’all are going to be bombarded with articles on Amazon’s new Kindle Fire tablet.

The 7-inch Android-based tablet is already in the hands of consumers and early reviews are kind of mixed with some not impressed with its Silk browser.

The below chart from Indian market researcher Social Nuggets is SI’s contribution to the Kindle Fire media overkill.

Based on its analysis of intent to purchase data from social networks, Social Nuggets sees Kindle Fire taking away market share from all tablets with the impact on Android and other non-iPad Tablets projected to be significant.

“Amazon has the potential to make it a two way Tablet race between Kindle Fire and iPad if it delivers on all its promise,” say the number crunchers at Social Nuggets.

No, we have no intention of buying the Kindle Fire, perfectly happy as we are with our iPad 2.

The U.S. box office numbers for Ranbir Kapoor’s new movie Rockstar are out.

And, hey, the numbers look pretty decent.

For the November 11-13, 2011 opening weekend in the U.S., Rockstar pulled in $612,235 from 112-screens giving it a respectable average gross of $5,466.

Rockstar was Ranbir’s 10th movie.

The 29-year-old actor, who hails from India’s first family of actors, the Kapoors, made his Bollywood debut in Saawariya in 2007.

By most accounts, Ranbir Kapoor is considered one of the finest Indian actors from the younger generation.

Here’s how Rockstar fared at the U.S. box office compared to a few prominent Bollywood films:
