Today, there is an interesting piece on the physical home for The Internet Archive, and stories on the confirmation hearing for the new Librarian of Congress and a look at how some really ancient apps are leaving certain PCs open to ransomware. In deals, ther are flash drives, charging ports, flash cars and cables. And there are still deals on Kindle Fire tablets.

(A note on Daily Deals: All prices current at the time of posting and subject to change. Most items marked Daily Deals are good for only the day posted.

Many large promotions have discount pricing that is set by the publisher. This usually means that titles can be found at a discount price across most platforms (with iTunes sometimes being the exception). If you have a favorite retailer you like to patronize, check the title on that website. There is a good chance that they will be matching the sale price.)
