    What Caused the Death of Microsoft's Courier?

    Remember the Microsoft Courier? Given how it came and went within the span of a few months, I doubt many would fault you if you didn't. What the Courier was, though, was one of the most innovative-looking products we ever saw come out of Microsoft. A tablet unlike any other, designed not solely...

    Apple Rumored to be Considering Pulling the Plug on its Mac Pro Line

    I agree, marfig. Given the recent events with Final Cut Pro turning into more of a consumer app and it being rumored that the same thing is destined to happen to Logic Studio, it's clear that Apple's interest in the professional is waning. Back when it didn't have the iPhone, things were...

    Amazon's $79 Kindle is Good, But Not Great

    Just over a month ago, Amazon unveiled four Kindles that either replaced or added to the company's line-up. Of them all, it was the tablet-based Kindle Fire that garnered most of the attention, but what if $199 is too much to justify if all you want to do is read books? Ars has taken a look at...

    Microsoft information embedded in an Adobe disc?

    Sure, first the CPU usage thread and this one. I'm all over the place. While getting things prepped for our upcoming CPU suite update, I decided to rip our Adobe discs to the PC as .iso for the sake of convenience, and I was a little surprised to see what publisher information was embedded on...

    Sporadic CPU usage

    I have never seen a CPU exhibit such random usage as mine did while running a certain benchmark: Oddly, such sporadic behavior even caused my music to sound corrupted a little bit while listening to it. As soon as this particular test finished, it went back to normal.

    Rockstar Games announced Grand Theft Auto V last week (albeit subtly), and as promised, the first official trailer for the game has been released today. There's no mention of a release date, and still no mention of supported platforms, but for any fan of the series, especially those who enjoyed...

    Linux From Scratch

    It's a great way to learn, that's for certain. Just expect to run into some major roadblocks. There's a lot of software out there that never wants to compile as cleanly as it should.

    A Look at Frozenbyte's Trine 2

    Released in 2009, Trine> offered a unique platforming experience, a colorful world, and progression that made it feel like you were really playing through a storybook.

    Linux From Scratch

    A VM is fine, but just don't expect a super-smooth time when it comes to figuring out the proper kernel modules to use. When I installed Gentoo to both VMware and VirtualBox a couple of months ago, I had to spend a fair bit of time figuring out which kernel modules would work with my faux...

    Apple Rumored to be Considering Pulling the Plug on its Mac Pro Line

    In a bit of not-so-surprising news, rumor has it that Apple is mulling the idea of pulling the plug on its high-end desktop Mac Pro line, leaving just the Mac mini and iMac to choose from. As Mac Pros have long been the go-to computer for professionals working with OS X, a discontinuation of the...

    Battlefield 3 Sells 5 Million Units in First Week

    It's not like there was ever any doubt, but Battlefield 3 sold well in its first week. Very well, in fact. How does 5 million units sound? With those sales, Battlefield 3 becomes the fastest-selling EA game in history, and with a total of over 10 million copies shipped, it's on track to break...

    Google Reader Gets Updated Gmail-like Design

    Halloween is known for its dark colors, copious amounts of candy and of course, lots of decorations. So what better time would there have been than yesterday for Google to unveil is revamped Google Reader, which is about as minimalist as it gets, with more white than the Google homepage...

    There Are Almost 7 Billion People - Which Number Are You?

    No one likes to be treated as a number, but let's throw that convention out the window for a moment (just be sure to clean it up off the street later) to take a look at a simple but interesting tool that BBC launched on its website to celebrate the 7 billionth person on earth, which will occur...
