iPad's iBooks Store May Be Initially U.S. Only, Windows 8 Coming in 2011?

Highlights from this morning's other big tech headlines....

  • The Apple Tablet iSlate iPad finally made its official debut yesterday, but the company seems to be offering only a limited release of some of the gadget's services. The iBooks Store and the iBooks app will apparently first launch only in the States. [From: Engadget]
  • Windows 7 recently became the "fastest selling operating system in history," but Microsoft isn't exactly growing complacent in its success. According to an ex-employee's blog, Windows 8 is already in the works, and could hit the manufacturing stage as early as next year. [From: Electronista]
  • While the nation's congressional representatives were sitting down, standing up, and applauding (and sleeping) through the President's State of the Union address, hackers were surreptitiously targeting numerous Democrats. The lamely named Red Eye Crew apparently hacked into over two-dozen Congressional Web sites, defacing pages, removing content, and promulgating anti-Obama propaganda. [From: PC World]
  • The burgeoning phenomenon of 3-D TV has received a significant amount of media exposure recently. Soccer fans in England will actually get a preview of the 3-D action this Sunday when Sky TV will broadcast the Manchester United and Arsenal match. With high speed collisions, balls flying around at 100 mph, streakers, and brawling hooligans, 3-D sounds like it was made for the "beautiful game." [From: Engadget]
