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.

CES with Internet on TV - again?
"Given TVs ease of use ... merge the internet and TV"What planet are you on? Ease of use? TV and home entertainment is a TOTAL MESS. My family can barely figure out how to change channel. Even when we get two devices from the same company that communicate over HDMI the result is ludicrous confusion with the devices, remote control, and family all having different ideas over what should happen.
Don't shill the corporate line so uncritically. Home entertainment systems have crappy, incompetent UIs and zero ability to interoperate with the command systems of different companies. There are multiple families of smart controls costing hundreds of $ that attempt, with little success, to solve the problems.
And these jokers are going to make the internet easy? Give me a break. My family cruises the internet on XP or Vista, even (when they are forced to) on a Mac with far less frustration than just trying to figure out what the TV system is doing.
When the TV makers get serious about standardization, interoperability, and real-world ease of use, then THAT would be a story worth reporting.
Use your noggin, Agam, and report with a critical eye.
