Submitted by Webmaster on Tuesday September 29, 2009

At this point, it's difficult to say exactly what we believe. Just a fortnight ago, we heard that the so-called Apple tablet would ship with a 9.6-inch display and a P.A.

$38 Zipit Wireless Messenger receives Linux injection, becomes $38 netbook

Submitted by Webmaster on Monday September 28, 2009

Poor Zipit. As a $149.99 instant messenger client nobody got particularly excited about you. Even now, as a $38 IM client you aren't exactly in high demand -- but as a $38 portable Linux machine, well, that's another story altogether. The machines have been tweaked before, but the latest and greatest is this hack from Hunter Davis, who can turn a virgin Zipit Z2 into a full-featured Linux machin

Windows 7 to ship early from custom PC makers

Submitted by Webmaster on Friday September 25, 2009

Oh boy, we're getting close, eh? The October 22nd retail launch of Windows 7 is just around the corner. But if that's too late then you can get a new system nine days early through smaller custom PC makers. Apparently, Microsoft has given the green light for smaller system builders to begin selling their Windows 7 PCs just as soon as they get their product keys. That magic is set to begin as ear

PS3 Motion Controller launching in March?

Submitted by Webmaster on Tuesday September 22, 2009

Is your name "harborneb?" It is? Then you might be out of a job. That's the name attributed to the author of a Microsoft Word document sitting on SEGA America's official FTP site at this very moment. The .doc file resides in SEGA's otherwise benign "news" directory. Now, it's very possible that the document could have been uploaded in jest as an Internet prank. But assuming it's real, then these

Windows 7 Takes Pricing Cue From Snow Leopard

Submitted by Webmaster on Friday September 18, 2009

Snow Leopard is selling like hotcakes. It's selling much better than Tiger, and a lot better than Leopard, too. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say those strong sales numbers had something to do with price. Microsoft appears to think so, too.
For a limited time, Microsoft is offering students the opportunity to grab one
