It would appear to be shipping laptops which can, quite literally, encrypt themselves. Well, OK, encrypt the data that is stored upon them so making it useless to anyone who steals said machine or buys it second hand on eBay. The laptops, which have yet to be priced, will feature Seagate Momentus drives that have full disk AES 128-bit...

eBay seller threatens buyer with negative feedback libel lawsuit

Sun, 26 Oct 2008 06:18:13 -0500

How many times have you bought something on eBay and the sale didn't go quite according to plan? What did you do, just bite your lip and say nothing or make use of that eBay tool called the feedback system to leave a negative for the seller so that other potential buyers would be aware of the problems you encountered?

Goggling Google

Tue, 07 Oct 2008 14:35:54 -0500

Sometimes someonehas something that's just a grand idea and everyone should have one. Take Google Goggles. The idea is that when you send an e-mail at certain times of day, particularly from home, they'll set you some maths questions. Why would it do a thing like that? Why, to stop you telling the boss what you really think of him after you've had a few beers. If you don't get the maths right, it assumes you're inebriated and won't send. Not a bad idea, you might think, and I've had some thoughts about some tweaks. For example, how about an eBay add-on? You want that Rolex, you must have...
