There have been rumors since last year that Valve may be serious about porting Source games to Linux after Valve Software began seeking a senior software engineer with the responsibility of porting Windows-based games to the Linux platform.
Valve Software's other major component that they use for their own games and over time has been opened up to its licensees is Steam. Steam is Valve's digital distribution platform. The Steam client — which right now is only…
Docks became popular when Mac began using them in their operating system. But these days docks are available on all platforms.
So which ones should you avoid and which ones should you use?
Short for Avant Window Navigator, AWN is one of the best docks availabe this day. It offers great applets, you can download themes from the internet, it has a flat and 3d look (look here for the curved look). You can set all kind of…

It’s a weird phenomenon. Nearly every computer platform steals another one’s look. Vista gets accused of trying to look too much like OS X. Linux desktops get accused of trying to look like Vista (except when they’re accused of ripping off OS X). There is the Avant Window Navigator, and though it does the trick quite nicely.
Right, which is why I said that x86 installs are fairly straightforward, and you click on the .deb files.However, as stated (at the paragraph starting: A 64-bit OS makes it a little stickier), a 64 bit version of Ubuntu will NOT run an…

Vodafone’s just got a tiny, minor, insignificant announcement to make this morning: it’s signed with Apple to sell the iPhone in ten markets, including Australia, the Czech Republic, Egypt, Greece, Italy (so much for Telecom Italia), India, Portugal, New Zealand, South Africa and Turkey. Expect the phone later this year — that’s all we know for no
Cnet.com.au was reporting that Optus was getting the iphone in Australia. If true this would back up the rumor of the new Apple strategy of non exclusive deals.To Vinay,The sign of any free market is choice. What you value is different from…
In part two of our special three-part feature, Peter Bright digs deep into Win32, .NET, and Vista and discusses how it all got to be so “shambolic.” When it comes to nurturing developers, Windows has become a disaster zone.
So .NET could have been a step into the 21st century. It could have been, but it wasn't. Technically, .NET was fine. The virtual machine infrastructure was pretty sound, the performance was reasonable, and C# was an adequate (if not…

Compiz works perfectly on most hardware that has good drivers - however, problems do exist and sometimes it may not work so well with your computers graphics card. Depending upon the kind of drivers and support, Compiz may not work at all, or it might throw up errors when activated.
Just in case something seems to be incompatible, you’ll get a clear report on what’s wrong. You’ll get descriptions which will help you to understand the real reason why Compiz wouldn’t run well on your…

If you say that the iPhone is the greatest invention of your lifetime, few would bat an eye. But dare to claim that the iPhone is killing the Internet as we know it, you’d be laughed out of town. But that is the central argument of a new book “The Future of the Internet - and How to Stop It.” Read this interview with the author & hear his argument.
NEWSWEEK: There seem to be a bunch of books coming out attempting to grapple with where the Internet is heading and what it's doing to us. Jonathan Zittrain: I certainly think this is a particularly fertile time to be thinking about the future…

Workers infatuated with iPods and iPhones — and unhappy with Windows — are demanding Macs at the office. And bosses are saying yes more often than ever before. Is business ready? Is Apple?
What's less obvious is that the enthusiasm is starting to spill over into the corporate market. It's a people's revolution, of sorts, with workers increasingly pressing their employers to let them use Macs in the office. In a survey of…
Rumors are flying across both the Mac and non-Mac web like it’s June 28, 2007 all over again. While a rumor just last week brought rumblings of GPS and a thicker body, new details may offer more solid insight into what the next-gen iPhone looks like.
iLounge has come across some fairly believable images that reveal design changes and possibly even a new feature of the next iPhone. Of course, those details could also be hot air or even disinformation to throw off the early birds, but still:…

Apple is often lauded for its design chops. And Apples post-modern industrial design is lyrical next to Dells neo-Soviet brutalism. But Apple makes some really stupid choices. Here are the top 5 - and the best workarounds.
Apple prefers to spend money on CPUs and displays rather than memory and disk, so easy drive upgrades are more important. There’s no real workaround. You just have to pay Apple’s high prices for a larger drive at purchase or…

Free WIFI at Starbucks and Barnes and Noble… yes please.
I'm glad my ATT DSL account will now get me access to Starbucks. I still prefer independent coffee shops because they are less crowded and give you enough room on a table to place BOTH your coffee and your laptop. by mbierman at 03:40 PM Reply…
