Dumb article

Version 3 of the iPhone software has been out for 2 weeks now. Plus there are a bunch of Apps on the iPhone to edit documents, including QuickOffice and DocumentsToGo. The author of this article is really behind the times (maybe he needs to retire or go back to school).

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.
