Sony's Daily Edition e-reader launches with a premium price
Sony has begun taking pre-orders for its top of the line e-reader, and they're sticking to the price point announced back in August before their competitors launched or cut prices. Is the Daily Reader that much more capable, or are we being asked to pay a "Sony Tax"?
Amazon matches BN eReader with Kindle for PC
Barnes & Noble's e-book system has one feature Amazon doesn't: a software e-reader that runs on PCs. But yesterday Amazon announced Kindle for PC, so now both sides will have a software solution that no one wants (yet).

Where Google Chrome security fails: the password
I heard mention that the Chrome OS will have some sort of encryption available a la bitlocker. If it's possible to encrypt personal data using another password or key, then it may have potential for very secure data.... And Ubuntu has an 'encrypt home directory' option, perhaps google should follow suit.
