Apple moves up in Greenpeace rankings
If it's the first day of October, then it's time once again for environmental group Greenpeace's quarterly report card of electronics corporations. The group's latest regular report places Apple in ninth place, square in the middle of the pack, which also includes competitors like Dell, HP, and Lenovo.

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.
