AMD’s new 790GX chipset for gamers on a “budget”

Move over, OLPC — the $12 Apple II-based PC is coming

Alright, so it won’t be a laptop, adorable, or have a cheeky Linux-based OS that’s eventually replaced by Windows, but unlike the OLPC or the too-good-to-be-true $10 laptop, the $12 PC currently being developed at MIT will probably hit its price target. The project, being spearheaded by Derek Lomas and Jesse Austin-Breneman, is centered around [...]

Vista gets crammed onto a PS3. It’s as bad as you think.

We can’t in good conscience recommend trying this one at home for sake of your own sanity, but one enterprising PS3 enthusiast has thankfully gone the extra mile and installed Windows Vista on the console so you don’t have to.
