Gmail Adds Remote Sign-Out and Monitoring

Gadgets & Tech – When I login to Gmail, I always leave the "Remember me on this computer" checkbox unchecked. Why? I don't want to get into the habit of checking that checkbox, as what would happen if I would make that selection and leave a public computer with myself still logged in. That would be a problem. Until now, anyway.

Are OEMs Using RIAA-Based Sound Drivers?

Gadgets & Tech – An interesting new conspiracy theory has arisen today. It appears that several laptop OEMs have been having ''issues'' with their sound card drivers: specifically, the Stereo Mix option is missing from their drivers, which basically means you can't record audio (except from Mic In). Whoops! Is this a case of Dell and others working with the RIAA?
