$25 dollar computer, Available soon

A man named David Braben has designed a computer that costs only twenty-five dollars to make; it runs on the free operating system, Ubuntu (Linux). This allows them to avoid the hefty costs of paying for individual keys for each copy of the operating system.

David hopes to be able to offer the computer for free to British students, to help further their education. I hope he'll be releasing it, too! It would be awesome to be able to carry around a small computer than hooks up to a big screen, like this!

Windows 8 - Leaked and Features - App Store and Ribbon!

Windows 8 is looking to be more like Microsoft Office, with features like the Ribbon that now are part of windows explorer itself.

It is said to be an Operating system that can be used on phones, tablets and on desktops! This means good and bad things: the interface will be more user friendly, but probably at the loss much of the customization that windows is known to easily allow. I really hope this isn't the case, but if it's made for phones and tablets then they probably don't want people messing with the OS as much as usual.

We'll see how it goes, though.
