Chrome OS without the Chromebook Google’s on a major push to advance its Chrome OS into more homes by whatever means necessary. Fancy a low-cost Chromebook? Google today announced the Haier Chromebook 11 and Hisense Chromebook, both available for pre-order at $149. Prefer an all-metal convertible? Google wants you keep your eyes peeled for the…
No quarters required This generation of kids and teens are pretty lucky when it comes to time wasters on the PC. Instead of Minesweeper or, my favorite Windows game from back in the day, Ski Free, today you can play some 900 classic arcade games right in your browser. And if you’re bored with those,…

A custom-made desk houses an aggressively styled computer based on the Microcool Banchetto K test-bench case. Straight lines, sharp angles, and a clean color scheme…

That’s why it’s called March Madness, and this time around, there were a number of notable upsets and surprises, like Michigan State advancing to the Final Four (I had them getting knocked out by Virgina in the…
