We received a lot of very funny caption contest entries this week, but none that cracked us up quite like The Toast in the Machine's circular career path. For making us (and hopefully you) laugh, he'll be receiving a $25 Amazon gift card.

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.
