Boot Camp in OS X Lion won’t support Windows XP, Vista

Brad Linder — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 20:33:41 +0000

Microsoft has been running a campaign for the past few months trying to convince individuals and businesses to stop using the company's wildly popular, but 10-year-old Windows XP operating system. On the one hand, you can cynically view this as the company trying to make more money by getting you to pay for an upgrade to a new operating system....

Google Chrome OS is getting a lot of attention these days for offering a simple new user interface for computers. Basically the entire operating system is a full screen web browser.

Brad Linder — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 16:24:53 +0000

Google Android has the Android Market. MeeGo (and Windows) netbooks have the Intel AppUp Center. And so on. Now Apple is preparing to launch...

Brad Linder — Fri, 24 Sep 2010 12:38:40 +0000

The HTC Shift is a 7 inch tablet that came out a few years too early to be considered a serious contender in the current tablet climate. But spec-wise it still looks pretty good. The tablet has an 800 x 480 pixel touchscreen, an 800MHz Intel A110 CPU, and it was designed to dual boot Windows Vista. But thanks to...

MacBook Air becomes a MacBook Keyboard… or something

Brad Linder — Mon, 16 Aug 2010 21:54:07 +0000

Like the idea of stuffing a computer into a keyboard, but underwhelmed by the Intel Atom processor and other netbook parts in the Asus Eee Keyboard? If you're the adventurous sort you might want to follow in the footsteps of one brave hacker who is in the process of ripping apart a MacBook Air and stuffing its guts -- plus...

Brad Linder — Fri, 13 Aug 2010 14:10:07 +0000

Axon Logic is a Pennsylvania-based company that plans to bring a touchscreen tablet to market. Nothing too out of the ordinary there.

Remember a few days ago when hackers installed Windows 7 on a JooJoo 12 inch tablet? Now it looks like you can do the same thing with OS X. That shouldn't come as a huge surprise.

Could a $500 hackintosh tablet be the iPad you thought you wanted?

Sure, the Apple iPad turned out to be a 10 inch tablet with a speedy new ARM-based processor and basically the same operating system as the iPhone and iPod touch (with a few tweaks to take advantage of the larger screen). But during the last few years a ton of rumors had leaked about a different kind of Apple tablet....
