Today's top stories...

Game console sales set record
Sales of gaming consoles broke records in November. The Wii and DS were the hottest sellers. Nintendo sold more than 2 million Wiis and 1.5 million DSs. Don’t miss my top picks for family friendly games!

Google’s Chrome exits test mode
Thanks to improvements in stability and security, Chrome is out of beta. Google hopes the browser will extend the popularity of its Web services. Have you tried Chrome yet? Get it free on my site.

Tough times hit memory makers
DRAM manufacturers are facing a serious downturn. They are cutting back on production due to rock-bottom prices. And Germany, South Korea and Taiwan may bail out their DRAM manufacturers.

Unpatched Microsoft vulnerabilities exploited
Criminals are already exploiting two unpatched flaws in Microsoft software. Microsoft reported the flaws Tuesday and Wednesday. One attack targets an IE7 flaw, the other a text converter.

What digital divide?
Mobile gadgets are most popular in Asia and other emerging markets. They skip older technologies like landlines. Non-mobile gadgets, like DVD players, are more popular in the West.

YouTube videos tutor students
YouTube isn’t just for fun videos! Students are using the site to help with their studies. For example, videos help students with math homework. Not all educators are impressed with the methods, though.

Texting trumps e-mail for students
Text messaging is the preferred method of communication for students. They do use e-mail, of course. But they don’t check it as often as some adults. Their favorite e-mail provider is Gmail.

Cool camcorders for tight budgets
Christmas is almost here! And you’ll want to capture all the precious memories. Fortunately, you can buy a quality camcorder for less than $400. Learn about the hottest models in my column at USAToday.
