I disagree that widescreen portrait is awkward. I remember myself rotating my desktop display into portrait, which worked great for longer reading sessions.
Touch Laptops
I'm a little embarrassed to admit how much I like the Surface RT. I wasn't expecting a lot when I ordered it, but after a day of use, I realized this was more than Yet Another Gadget. It might represent a brave new world of laptop design. How can you not love a laptop that lets you touch Zardoz...
This article so much deserves a paragraph about Infiniminer.
Still, indeed a remarkable article.
Minecraft and the Question of Luck [What Games Will Be]
Minecraft has passed one million sales. At €14.95 a pop. For an alpha version. Bloody hell. So tweeted my friend and ex-boss Pete Morrish (who also wrote this). Minecraft is a game that makes industry heads spin. Its developer is on the way to becoming a superstar, it’s generating huge sales f...

The point of SurroundView is the possibility of using both graphics cards at once (while usually you can only use either), which basically allows you to plug 2 monitors into onboard GPU and another 2 into the card.
I have bought a cheap Gigabyte mainboard when assembling my current PC and found this solution accidentally. Just recently I had the possibility to test it and it works flawlessly! I'm really thankful for AMD/ATI for making triple-head support work out-of-the-box for me, with the only work on my side required being a simple option in BIOS.
Multiple LCDs
In multiple monitors and productivity, I proposed three LCD panels as the standard developer desktop configuration. The only thing holding us back was price, and the minor inconvenience of obtaining a second video card to drive the third monitor. I recently upgraded my home system to match my ...
