    Hands-on with the Windows 8.1 9369 Leak

    Full disclosure I'm a closet Linux-geek (no trolls). But it's annoying that MS is pushing touchscreens on laptops... Which would you rather have a decent IPS panel or a rather useless touchscreen... The restricted boot crap is just "vendor lockin" by another name. Never mind the fact that...

    Hard Disk Crash Survival Kit

    pgowdyI can't believe there is no mention of Steve Gibson's SpinRite! www.grc.com. Peter G Yeh just wish he'd work on updating it so it worked with more host controllers!! I gather it can't boot on a Linux kernel because it doesn't get direct access to harddisks... Maybe he could get the...

    Valve: Steam for Linux Not In Immediate Future

    Hmmm, Interesting reading... Personally I continue to run the Steam client via Wine on my Ubuntu install and contribute as much bug-triaging support to Wine as I can!

    Opinion: Why Blackberry Torch Can't Compete
