Sony takes the wraps off its new PS3 Slim game console, which is smaller, lighter, and cheaper. Also: Microsoft and Facebook on the court docket.

More people are getting used to reading e-books on devices like the Sony Reader or the Amazon Kindle. Recently Kindle owners who had purchased George Orwell's 1984 or Animal Farm had their books snatched back by Amazon when a rights issue arose.

The buyers were credited their $9.99, but such a recall could never have happened with actual books.
