If you liked this, then you'll love the port to the almost unheard of Sam Coupé[1] microcomputer by Chris White[2]. Chris actually recreated the graphics by hand, pausing the Amiga version and redrawing frame by frame. Because it was an uno

Interesting. I've noticed that I don't show up on there (not that I mind). Wonder why that might be.

What a terribly written editorial. This has nothing to do with blocking Linux from Windows PCs. Windows 8 will boot from systems with a regular BIOS, it's just that they want to harden the boot process to protect against boot level attacks.

Am I the only person who finds this a complete non-article? Lots of companies hire people that have aspergers or high functioning autism. I do find it comes across as an almost exploitative and discriminatory policy of hiring people with au

Out of interest, have you been to DC4420? ( http://www.dc4420.org/ ) It has none of the problems you describe, but it's definitely worth a visit regardless.

I know, I went a while back. It seems to me like holding it in a school and making beer runs seems counterproductive. Most of the other regular london hackery type talk events (Hacks/Hackers, DC4420 spring to mind) take place in pubs. Just

I can't agree enough. I used to buy toys all the time (you know, exotic workstations on different architectures, fancy PDAs and so on, you probably know the drill) and realised after a while that I had a whole load of few year old tech that

If Greece stuck to that strategy they they'd face significant reprisals from the Germans and rest of the Eurozone. During the negotiations France and Germany were talking about not just booting Greece out of the Euro but also using the Lisb

Integration is one of the biggest bugbears I have with Google plus. All of the tools I use to consume media support Facebook and Twitter, but none support Google plus. Last week I quit Facebook for G+, and while I put up with having to sign

I completely disagree, and so does Ryanair. Competing on price is entirely possible and feasible. What it boils down to is understanding how that affects your positioning (i.e. being known to compete on price) and how that affects your valu

What's interesting to me is that even though G+ is a lot younger and has a much smaller feature set compared to Facebook, Google appear to be putting security in from the ground up. Facebook on the other hand are desperately lagging behind

I see where you're coming from, but I still occasionally play Red Baron, Pitfall and Combat on emulators. Crystal Castles for me was another good one on Atari 2600, but I think this was after Super Mario Bros. I agree that it's a largely su

I'd say the Atari 2600 was probably the first (in my experience) home games console with games that are legitimately fun to play. Games like Combat, Air/Sea battle and Snoopy and the Red Baron were great games on the 2600. I'm not saying al

A lot of the author's hatred for the Kindle seems to have an irrational and subjective basis. The author is clearly non-technical (referring to his sons as his IT support). Perhaps that's a factor in his experience. > 1. You can’t safel
