Amazon launched Kindle singles. These are short pieces of literature that will sell for anywhere between 99 cents and 499. Works could include essays, memoirs, or short works of fiction. You will see this in a new category in the kindle store. Facebook is letting you use its site with encryption, which is an added layer of security. Facebook will now use https or hypertext transfer protocol secure when you log in. However, if you turn on the extra encryption, everything on the site will be encrypted, not just your log in.

The New York Times maybe a little jealous of Wikileaks. The paper is considering creating its own submission system where anyone with information could link it to the paper. Al Jazeera already has something like this. There is this called the anonymous electronic drop box. I would wager they get a lot of crazies putting information there. Hopefully, there is a heavy bidding process. Speaking of Wikileaks, our parent company, CPS, has secured the Wikileaks founder Julian Assange sixty minutes this weekend. You won't wanna miss that. That your news for today. If you want more stories about today, visit CNET.com/loaded. I'm Mark Licea for CNET.com and you just been loaded.
