Apple Civil War

This is great news for us true computer nerdz. It has been reported that a company in the UK has filed a complaint against Apple Computers. The opposing company's name is also Apple and apparently they have run into each other in court on a few other occasions. This time it's a biggy. The UK Apple company deals with music and now with the popularity of the iPod and iTunes you can bet that the UK Apple company will milk Apple computers for all they're worth.

Could this lawsuit begin the downfall of Mac computers?

AMD Ultra-Mobile PC's

Intel has always ruled the mobile CPU market, but it appears as though AMD will change that. Ultra-Mobile PCs are continually growing in popularity and because of this the systems need overwhelming performance for a good price. Obviously, AMD offers this and their new Turion 64 processors consume as little as 6 Watts of power when necessary.

Will AMD become the new processor of choice by all UMPC manufacturers?

Cryzip Trojan Virus

A new Trojan has recently been infecting computerz at random. It appears to have the ability to deny access to certain files on the infected computer. Unlike other viruses a special window pops up asking for three-hundred dollars to regain access to the "ransomed" files. With the large number of computer illiterates out in the wild it rather makes me wonder...

Are there people who actually fall for the scam to regain access to their files?

No More Lag?

It looks like a new company known as, Bigfoot, will now be coming in the computer industry. If you recall the company known as, Ageia, which currently sells physics processing units for dedicated gamerz then you'll remember that they compared their product to being the next big computer upgrade. They went onto say first there was the sound accelerator card, then there was the video accelerator card, and then there was the physics accelerator card. Well now, there's a fourth facet, the network accelerator card. When this card is in use it's inherent effect is that lag will no longer be an issue in computer games.

Will this new development prove to be a desirable upgrade for PC gamerz?

Google & AMD

Google is widely known about by the common man, but AMD has quite remained a mystery. The servers Google have been relying on have been of poor design, mainly because their processors were made from Intel. They had a tendency to be too high of maintenance; But now Google has seen the light and has purchased 200,000 AMD-based servers. This is more good news for AMD.

Will AMD continue to rise in popularity and quality?
