    VMware Fusion Gains Ability to Run OS X 10.5-10.7 in a VM

    Apple doesn't care, and never did care what anyone else thought, but then again, because, I suppose, as the world's most valuable tech company, and with the most cash in the bank than even mighty Microsoft, why should they care? Aside from that, it is now being reported by the New York...

    Google Opens its Digital Music Store; Invites Users to Discover & Share

    This so-called "hopeful iTunes killer" is getting a bit of flack in the press lately: http://gizmodo.com/5860265/google-music-is-a-complete-letdown Johny Evans at Computerworld goes so far to suggest that something doesn't quite seem right, and mabye there could even be some 'hanky-panky'...

    Are We Soon to See a Death of the Spec?

    When it comes to specs, such as those in computers, the important thing isn't that your computer has the highest specs possible, but rather just enough specs to enable your machine do exactly what you want and need it to do. Anything more is overkill. For example, one doesn't need a 12-core...

    Consumers Prefer Tablets More than Laptops this Holiday Season

    It seems like yesterday when the iPad came out people that complained that it was nothing but a big old iPhone and nobody would want one, because notebooks had keyboards, a full OS, etc., etc. Now, after 20 years of tablets that were not selling, suddenly all thanks to the iPad, tablets have...

    Ubuntu 12.04 Brings a 750MB ISO Size; 64-bit Edition 'Recommended'

    Even though Ubuntu is not exactly perfect, and trust me, it was a real pain-in-the-ass for me to finally get Compiz working, I still absolutely love Ubuntu, and to the point that it is now the one OS that I am using the most these days. I agree with Rob, I think that the under-the-hood...

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

    Your most probably right when you stated the above, but I'm sure hoping that Apple keeps the MacPro around a little while longer yet. But again, to your point, Apple has already recently done away with their professional Xserves come to think about it! Still, in the end, I'll believe it when...

    AMD Lays Off 10% of Global Workforce

    This is sad news and not just for those laid off, but for the general tech community as a whole. Having to depend on just one major player really sucks! I hope that AMD can turn things around and soon, both for its workers, those laid off and those who are now probably wondering if they'll be...

    What Caused the Death of Microsoft's Courier?

    I never liked the idea of dual screens attached by some flimsy mechanism, as I tend to think it would break at some point. Besides holding one of these things would seem to be uncomfortable. Didn't Sony create a dual-screen tablet?

    Internet Explorer Usage Falls Below 50% for First Time in Decade

    I never liked Explorer before and I still don't. It has improved, but not enough for my liking. I still prefer Opera, though it has its limitations, it is still my favorite browser on my Mac, Windows and Linux machines. Funny thing, way back in Mac Classic, the version of Internet Explorer...

    Battlefield 3 Sells 5 Million Units in First Week

    I'm not a gamer, but selling 5-million copies in one week is pretty damn impressive if you ask me?

    Apple Purchased 3D Mapping Company C3 Earlier this Year

    As much as I love and use Google Earth and Maps, not to mention Bing/Maps and even Nokia maps, I can't wait until I can get my hands on this! To be able to zoom in to see little signs, trees, etc., is just cool for this map lover!

    Microsoft Talks More About Windows 8 Task Manager

    I've played with Linux lots of times, but now that I'veI installed Ubuntu 11.10 I'm using it all the time, and it seems to me that Windows 8 Task Manager is nothing more than a copy of Ubuntu's System Monitor, or OS X's Activity Monitor. I'm not sure how long Linux has had a System Monitor, but...

    NVIDIA Shows Off PhysX in Batman: Arkham City

    Holy Batman!, after viewing the trailer I have to agree, this thing is like totally awesome! Other than the occasional game of Bejeweld 3, or Solitaire, I don't care to play games at all, but I love to try this thing out myself just to relish in its totally awesome physics. Games surely have...

    Ubuntu 11.10 Brings Unity Improvements, Revamped Software Centre

    Actually, the problem was that things kept crashing. I've got Flash working nicely, but I'm still having trouble installing Google Earth. It keeps saying that the i3 architecture is wrong! Of course, I run Ubuntu under Wubi, so htat might be a problem? I wonder if I can add another Linux distro...

    Ubuntu 11.10 Brings Unity Improvements, Revamped Software Centre

    Over all, I really like this latest version of Ubuntu. It's different, which makes it all the more intriguing. It's not perfect mind you, but then again I have yet to come across anyone OS that is. I'm writing this post, of course, using this very version. I like the overall look and feel; it's...

    Dennis Ritchie, Creator of C & Unix, Has Passed Away

    Dennis Ritchie is a man that we all owe a great deal of thanks to, but sadly he wasn't the first or the only genius to be overlooked in the grand scheme of things. He built the foundation, the very foundation that Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and others built their empires on and therefore he'll go...
