Here's a hint to drivers everywhere: We know that your GPS system is very convenient and helps you get around in confusing areas that you're unfamiliar with and you don't need to keep unfolding a map and blah blah blah, but really, if the thing suggests that you drive onto railroad tracks, maybe you'd be better off, you know, not driving onto the railroad tracks. A hapless driver guided by a GPS unit ended up on Metro-North tracks in Westchester County and caused a collision with a commuter train. Nobody was hurt, but a Metro-North spokeswoman did get to play the classic "If the GPS told you to drive off a cliff, would you drive off a cliff?" gambit. read more...
I wish there was way to report the error to someone and then it could be corrected. I have people tell me, I can find you I have a GPS and I just laugh because in the county that I live in even yahoo maps don't have all the correct roads.

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.
