- "Aiming to outdo Amazon.com and recapture the crown for the most digital titles in an e-book library, Sony is announcing Thursday a deal with Google to make a half million copyright-free books available for its Reader device, a rival to the Amazon Kindle."

Interesting "At the very least, we think Facebook as the "starting point" for more and more users on the Internet could create some multiple compression for Google over time, if the momentum continues." Even more interesting.
- Apparently the new iPhone OS includes SquirrelFish, Webkit's new JS engine.

- Very cool.
