That's a tablet computer announced earlier this month running Windows 7 and apparently set-up to handle electronic books bought from Amazon's store. Though the device is produced by HP, Microsoft is heavily involved in promoting it. Indeed, Microsoft ...<br><br> ...

For example, when you move your cursor to the edge of the screen using a pan-and-scan virtual desktop, the screen moves to reveal more desktop.

Cryptographers at the conference say they've been able to crack a code that, on a normal day, prevents the interception of mobile phone calls by forcing those phones to consistently change frequencies across a list of about eighty channels. Since those not working for a cellphone company would have an almost impossible time knowing the sequence of this frequency change-up, hackers usually have no way of intercepting more than a few ...<br><br> ...

Duke Nukem, as many PC gamers already know, was especially famous for his raunchy and violent exploits in the 1996 first person shooter (FPS) Duke Nukem 3D. After over a decade of rumors that Nukem would return to PCs and consoles, it appeared then that such hopes had been dashed. However, in a recent interview with the gaming media, 3D Realms CEO Scott Miller said that Duke was not dead at all; in fact, he ...<br><br> ...

There are many reasons of the performance problems in Windows Vista, one of them that there are many of Windows Vista services that are running in the background that consume a lot of CPU power and take up much space in the system memory (RAM) which we do not really need them at all.

For most of us, finding a way to rid a computer of the malware suffices -- but for one computer researcher, however, the change from a defensive to an offensive mentality is what ended the two year chase of a sinister botnet once and for all. For two years, Atif Mushtaq had been keeping the notorious Mega-D bot malware from infecting computer networks. As of this past November, Mega-D had forced more than 250,000 PCs to do its bidding via botnet control. That's when Mushtaq ...<br><br> ...
