suing Open Computer-producer Psystar, as the delivered product shows Apple has nothing to fear from these purveyors of trash.
Perhaps they should be called Rotten Apples, and come complete with a Worm on the box.
On ZDNet, Adrian Kingsley-Hughes took possession of one of the Open Computer models, and explains the various problems with the [...]
One of the best things to come to Linux was the Reiser File System, or ReiserFS as it is known by many. It is a very forgiving system in the face of disc errors, much like NTFS for Windows systems.
Many might wonder why there has been no progress on the next promised version of the [...]
In a move to increase awareness and promote the sales of an upcoming DVD release, the producers of the documentary ‘Leading to War’, a summation of the steps to the invasion of Iraq by the Bush administration, are offering a 72 minute Quicktime download of the movie. The 440 MB file is being offered free [...]
and already there are reports of problems with the install. There also appears to be a fix for those experiencing the problems.
“Now look, here’s the deal…”
However, one must ask why it is that there are problems with the installation of a package designed to alleviate problems?
The package can be downloaded from Betanews, among [...]
That is what is being given the latest (and hopefully, last) beta of Opera 9.50, otherwise known as Kestrel. It has been a long and rocky road for this revision of the browser, and Opera has taken a few knocks for the time taken, the seemingly unending backtracking of code, and the lack of [...]
After reading a very interesting article on Wired about ‘Broadband 2.0′, it becomes apparent that what we have seen in the last few years is not going to stop anytime soon. Speeds of broadband are escalating, with the average speed reported in the article at 4.8 Mb/s!

perhaps Ballmer can retire to the Galapagos, where he can be amongst his own kind
Nearly every column I read lately speaks of how poorly the Microsoft stock is performing, how Vista just can’t catch a break from consumers (by way of reviewers), and why the sales performance is down.
First, all references other than the [...]
The deadline imposed by Microsoft has gone the way of the covered wagon, and Yahoo did not reach for cover, as it continues to resist the takeover by Microsoft. Now it remains to be seen if a hostile (get that!) attempt will be made for the company Jerry Yang, Yahoo’s CEO, wishes to keep out [...]
When first announced, the spin doctors at AMD made it seem as though a triple core processor would be a good idea - after all, if you could make a defective quad core into a tri core with no ill effects, it was something good for MAD and something good for the user base. [...]
Yesterday some new additions for the Ultimate Extras package sprang into existence. There was new Dreamscene wallpaper, and two new audio themes.
While this may be nice, and technically keeps the dream of extra value for the most expensive version of Vista alive - is this anything beyond what might have been whipped out by some [...]
‘Plays for Sure’ was the name of the DRM system used by Microsoft to show people that it was safe to trust them as a music supplier. The idea was that Microsoft was so large that they would always be around, and the DRM intertwined with the music purchased would not ever prevent its [...]
News of the last few days leads many to wonder if the leaders in the software and hardware world ever bother to look up from their tasks at hand to see what anyone else is doing.
Just yesterday we learned of the Microsoft idea of Mesh, which with all the problems the company has had [...]
Dell: cheap, you bet your butt, helpful, not in your wildest dreams!
So many people are disappointed in the quality of customer service today. Nowhere is the lack of customer service more apparent than in the computer field. Consumers are treated as though they had better be one of two types - either they are [...]
Beginning Thursday, Grisoft’s newest product, AVG Free 8.0 will be available, bringing improved virus protection, but also bringing part of the anti-spyware component of its paid sister application.
This will be good for many, as the addition of one interface, one program, will bring ease of use to many, and an economy of load on [...]
After the problems with the Vista Service Pack 1, Microsoft has decided to change things up a bit, and not allow TechNet subscribers and other ‘early adopters’ access to the download until after the general public has a chance to get it.
