Alienware has just announced a couple of new gaming laptops that go by ‘Aurora’ and have a rather simple and clean design. We’re talking rounded corners, a single, simple logo, a “chamfered” (sloping) front edge for one-handed opening, and no thermal shelf at the rear. I quite like it, but I know some find such…

“How do we make this better?”. Looking back at anything you loved as a kid can bring on a sense of trepidation. Books, films, games – viewed through a modern lens, decades-old efforts may not stand up to scrutiny. Tired tropes and dated dialogue that can come as a smack in our 21st-century chops. Progress…
