Last year the big showing for TVs was 3D. But least you forget, these TVs were also Internet-enabled through integrated WiFi or an Ethernet jack in the back. This year I expect these roles to reverse. The bigger story in 2011 will be Internet-delivered offerings. This won’t be about the technical feasibility of bringing the Internet to the TV, ...

An anonymous reader writes "As Google prepares to compete with Apple in the digital newsstand business, both companies seem to be glossing over the fact that consumer demand for digital magazines is dropping.

For Ars Technica, I penned this rundown of ways to stay safe on public Wi-Fi: Firesheep takes a techie sniffing tool and makes it mainstream, but there are plenty of other risks as well. Thus, I wrote this guide for Ars Technica on the best ways you can stay safe while using public Wi-Fi. My main suggestion, as always, is a VPN: whether you rent ...
