Valentine's Day is traditionally imagined as a holiday for romantics and smooth
operators, and geeks are traditionally imagined as, well, not romantics or smooth
operators. If pop culture is to be believed, only the cool kids were at the
dances with their sweeties, while the rest of us were at home playing video
games and avoiding love at all cost.


As with any stereotype, there's a germ of truth to this, but we know that geeks
can reach the same heights of passion as anyone else -- sometimes, they just
express it differently. And so, in honor of building understanding towards our
community this Valentine's Day, we offer this collection of videos that will
help you better understand the love between two geeks, or between a geek and
a non-geek, or between a geek and ... some toys.

1 - Finite Simple Group (of Order Two)

2 - Facebook Stalker

3 - Can A Geek Find True Love And Be Himself?

4 - Computer Camp Love

5 - A Linux Guy's Guide to Valentine's Day Mods

6 - Internet Love Song

7 - The Internet Love Story

8 - A Love That Knows No Limits

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.
