At an event today here in the city's Dogpatch neighborhood Google showed us the not-yet-finished hardware that will run Chrome OS. It's called CR-48, and it's not much to look at: a plain, black, unbranded notebook that companies and individual users who are accepted into Google's pilot program can use.

The Avast Pro licence showed up on file-sharing sites, and a year and a half later it had topped three-quarters of a million active users.

Over the last 24 hours the world has been abuzz with talk about a small Firefox extension. Usually Firefox extensions don’t make headlines, but in this case one did. Why? This extension is called Firesheep, and it’s scary.

The Firesheep plugin can hijack your Facebook, Twitter, and Flikr sessions while you are connected to unsecured wifi. What do we mean hijack? We mean that it can steal your sessions, pretend to be you, and you won’t even know it.

Yeah, wow.
