Amazon's Kindle tops its top 10 Xmas sales list

<div style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com//Review%20images/TechRadar/Gadgets/New%20Amazon%20Kindle%203/main%20kindle%203-200-200.jpg" /> </div>Amazon has announced its biggest Christmas sellers, and it is its own Kindle device that tops the chart, beating the Toy Story 3 DVD into second place. 
In fact, the top four sellers are all from different genres, the Kindle from electronics, Toy Story 3 from DVD, Call of Duty: Black Ops from gaming and Take That's latest album Progress making up the best-selling quartet. 
But the well-priced and critically acclaimed Amazon Kindle has brought in the bucks for the online retail giant, and the purchase of digital books for the device will only serve to cement the company's dominance in the market. 
"This was the first Christmas that Kindle and Kindle 3G have been available from Amazon.co.uk and the demand has been exceptional," said Brian McBride, Managing Director of Amazon.co.uk Ltd. 
£109 
"At only £109, Kindle has been on the top of Christmas Wish Lists all over the country this year and we expect to see many people visiting the Kindle Store over the days that follow Christmas to take advantage of the massive selection of low-price Kindle Books available," he added. 
Apparently, 27 items were being ordered every second at the peak of its Christmas buying period – and a total of 2.3 million items were bought on the busiest day – Monday 6 December.

1.Kindle (3G + Wi-Fi and Wi-Fi only) 
2.Toy Story 3 
3.Call of Duty: Black Ops 
4.Progress – Take That 
5.Inception

Wikileaks website pushed off Amazon's cloud

<img src="http://cdn.mos.techradar.com//classifications/computing/internet-and-broadband/images/Wikileaks_3-200-200.jpg"> Wikileaks has been removed from Amazon's cloud computing servers, following the latest batch of high-profile leaks of US diplomatic messages. However, the move will not affect the online distribution of the diplomatic cable files, which are now being shared via Bittorrent. Cablegate concerns Wikileaks so-called<a href="http://www.techradar.com/news/internet/wikileaks-sparks-diplomatic-crisis-after-250-000-docs-leak-911452"> "cablegate" file </A>containing the leaked diplomatic files is already being widely distributed via Bittorrent, being shared by thousands of users directly online. Wikileaks is moving its hosting back to the Bahnhof ISP in Sweden, according to DNS checking. WikiLeaks confirmed the move from Amazon's server on <a href="https://twitter.com/wikileaks">its Twitter feed</A> this week. "WikiLeaks servers at Amazon ousted," read the post. "Free speech the land of the free--fine our $ are now spent to employ people in Europe." Another Twitter message from WikiLeaks read: "If Amazon are so uncomfortable with the first amendment, they should get out of the business of selling books." U.S. Senator Joe Lieberman said of Amazon's move: "I wish that Amazon had taken this action earlier based on WikiLeaks' previous publication of classified material. "The company's decision to cut off WikiLeaks now is the right decision and should set the standard for other companies WikiLeaks is using to distribute its illegally seized material." Wikileaks now appears to be <a href="http://wikileaks.org/">back online</A>
