Microsoft Flight Simulator grounded
Submitted by charlie.collins on Fri, 01/23/2009 - 14:02Apparently, the entire Flight Simulator development team has been laid off at Microsoft. Sad day.
Of course this frees them up to make other, far more brilliant, products and services . . . like the Zune, or MSN Mobile DRM . . . I mean Mobile Music.

KDE 4 review: Ars
Submitted by charlie.collins on Tue, 01/22/2008 - 14:33KDE 4 sure do look pretty.
The review talks about many of the new features, all built with QT4: a new file system browser, a new desktop shell, a new multimedia system, new scripting framework, and much more - and all with clever names.
Scope out Google Sky

Flock 1.0 Available
Submitted by kebernet on Sun, 11/04/2007 - 12:59Flock 1.0 is now available. I have to say, I played with it a couple times earlier and wasn't that into it. Having seen the 1.0 release, I am quite impressed. The integration with the social sites it supports is impressive, and the blog editor is one of the nicer once I have seen, tough I wish it popped under the current tab, or as a tab of its own. Flock runs most Firefox extensions, so all the stuff I liked about FF is still there. It would be nice to see even more integration: Last.fm and Meebo would both be great adds.
