According to many news sites, an attack against a pro-Georgia blogger is responsible for the takedown of social networking sites Twitter, Facebook and others last Thursday. The attackers were reportedly upset with the content found on the blogger’s sites and distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks against the bloggger’s Twitter, YouTube, Facebook and LiveJournal accounts, according to security firm F-Secure. DDoS attacks are becoming increasingly common among cyber criminals as way to disrupt services intended for customers of the targeted sites. |

http://blogs.zdnet.com/BTL/?p=21729&tag=nl.e539 - see this link for a good article on possible Apple plans around a tablet possibly like the picture below.
Also, see this http://education.zdnet.com/?p=2855&tag=nl.e623 link for someone's views about a new Apple tablet and higher education. It all comes back to electronic textbooks. Is this something that could be a reality in the next few years?
