Apple Unveils Ebook Authoring Software iBooks Author Apple launched a new ebook authoring tool, iBooks Author , at an education event in New York City Thursday.

Google’s Quarterly Earnings Lower Than Expected Google’s quarterly earnings report was far from abysmal, but it did miss analysts’ estimates, and that was enough to send Google’s stock down 9% in after-hours trading Thursday. On the bright side, Google reported that its social network Google+ now has 90 million users, meaning the user base has doubled in three months. Anonymous Attacks Justice.gov in Retribution for Megaupload Shutdown The hacker collective known as Anonymous attacked the website of the U.S. Department of Justice and rendered it inaccessible for a period of time. The attack came after the user authorities indicted seven people and two companies that ran the file uploading site Megaupload.com. Should they be found guilty, the accused could go to prison for a maximum of 20 years.
