Remember those scenes from the Terminator movies, where we saw the world through the eyes of the killer cyborg, with constant bits of information scrolling up through his field of vision? Japanese firm NEC has developed something similar: a headset that beams information in real time onto the wearer's retina, for a mere $80,000 or so.

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.
