The types of charges involved here have been of concern to me since the start. I normally don't go in for conspiracies, but in this case it would be ridiculously easy to pin these sorts of charges of Assange. It would just take one person with a knowledge of Swedish laws to follow Assange and see who he goes home with. Then the next step would be for that anonymous person to offer a suitcase full of untraceable cash to the woman in question -- et voila! Cry rape and Assange goes to jail.

Apple Orders 10 Million Tablets? 221

Arvisp writes "According to a blog post by former Google China president Kai-Fu Lee, Apple plans to produce nearly 10 million tablets in the still-unannounced product's first year. If Lee's blog post is to be believed, Apple plans to sell nearly twice as many tablets as it did iPhones in the product's first year."

I just left the US for 6 months and I'd always wanted an e-ink reader. My trip was the perfect excuse to buy one and I purchased the Hanlin V3 through astak.com. I've loaded it up with a lot of content from Project Gutenberg as well as a few pirated titles. I've only been out of the country for 6 weeks and already I've read five books...WAY more than I would have back home. Granted, some of this is due to the extra time on my hands, but I find my reader easy on the eyes for long format reading (unlike my iPhone for example) and enjoyable to use. Even if the reader crashes, it remembers where I left off. I can bookmark pages easily. The battery lasts for a month on a single charge. I can carry hundreds of books on a 1 GB SD card. So, yes pirating of books is going to be rampant, I can assure you. This will only become more widespread as tools like Inept become more widely know. If you're not sure what I'm referring to just google the term adeptkey.der.
