Binary Wave NASA JPL
Microsoft filed a patent in 2006 that describes a future ad delivery service - it sounds like something out of an Orwell novel, or even Terry Gilliam's Brazil.

Get rid of Microsoft Windows - use Ubuntu!

July 11th 2007 03:31
Ubuntu logo
I'll make a confession: this is not an objective post. I'm not reporting anything, except my well-known bias against Microsoft products and my gushing enthusiasm for open-source software.

I've grown up on Windows, and MS-DOS before it, so I feel as if I've been there the whole time Microsoft has ruled the PC world with a spiked, iron fist. Sure, Windows 3.1 was slick when it came out (though, not to Mac users), and Windows 95 was a further improvement. Somewhere along the line, though, Microsoft stopped pushing the cutting-edge, and sat back on it's bloated hindlegs, stopping only to sniff at its own mess

A petaflop is a measure of computing power... the 'flops' part stands for 'floating-point operations per seconds', which is a fancy way of saying 'a calculation', like 12.3 x 18.7

Google Gears

June 18th 2007 02:57
There's been a lot of skepticism about the hype over 'Web Applications'... these are applications that you run over the internet, instead of installing software on your computer at home.

So, for example, instead of using Microsoft Word, you'd use Google Docs and Spreadsheets. It stores all of your work online, so it's available from any computer

The future of wireless USB

May 16th 2007 18:21
The idea of USB was a major step forward in computer peripheral technology... before that, we were fumbling around with interface cards and slots, and it was a big nasty mess.

Now, of course, the idea is ludicrous. Everything comes with a USB connector, and it makes life a breeze. If only we could get rid of the drivers

Fallout 3 forums opened for feedback

April 23rd 2007 00:41
Fallout 3 poster
Fallout 1 & 2 were engrossing RPGs for the PC that created a huge fan base, and, arguably, started the entire post-apocalyptic mutant wasteland scenario. It was a cinematic experience, with nebulous morality, and the game felt different every time you played them.

They were two incredible games... the world was rich and immersive, often darkly hilarious or satirical. Your actions had reprecussions, so killing someone indiscriminately would give you an evil reputation, just as you could get a reputation for being a fantastic lover. You could become a drug addict. Or a gangster
