Mac Cloner Quo Computer Still Going Strong

There's this hole here at OSNews, a hole left when Psystar was dealt a devastating blow by Apple's legal team. That whole saga provided a nice steady stream of news articles that's been dried up for a while. However, Psystar was not the only clone maker out there - what happened to Quo Computer, that clone maker with an actual real-world store front? They're still here, and just launched a new product.

Film industry hires cyber hitmen to take down internet pirates

Novell Responds to SCO's Objections to its Bill of Costs

Novell has responded to SCO's Objections to Novell's Bill of Costs  for the two trials. Novell did not fail to notice and point out to the court SCO's cheeky move, asking that the court deny the entire bill, when some of it was costs from the first Utah trial that had already been authorized by the court:

    SCO objects to $2,914.74 in costs for folders and binders, which were part of the copy costs. Rather than further dispute entitlement to such costs, Novell withdraws its request for them. However, SCO's assertion that because Novell failed to disaggregate these costs, the Court should "deny Novell's Bill of Costs in its entirety," is absurd. (Objections to Bill of Costs at 7.) Novell's Bill of Costs contains several entries that are not even addressed in SCO's Objections, not the least of which is $99,639.09 in costs that were previously awarded by the Court following the initial bench trial and simply have never been paid by SCO.

Cooler Master USNA95 Ultra Slim Power Adapter

These are just two reasons that I wish power adapters would just disappear altogether, but the chances of that happening are slim. In the meantime we do have the USNA95 from Cooler Master. This little slim AC adapter has plenty of juice to power your mid-sized laptop, or even your cell if you need it. The real kicker is the fact the USNA95 is about the size of a deck of playing cards, and best of all it weighs about the same as one too.

The death and rebirth of Duke Nukem Forever: a history

Duke Nukem Forever was announced in 1997, after its predecessor, Duke Nukem 3D, had rocked the PC market with a hero who liked kicking ass, hanging out with strippers, and murdering alien police officers that were, literally, pigs. It was inappropriate, raunchy, and amazing.

As AMD prepares Radeon HD 6000 graphics cards, is Nvidia ready to cut price on GTX 460?

Even if Nvidia’s recent roll out of graphics cards based on its new Fermi architecture has slightly dulled AMD’s momentum in the graphics market, the Radeon brand is still rolling along, with Nvidia supposedly mulling a price cut on one of its new boards. At the same time, AMD is readying its new Radeon HD 6000 series, which will be more of an evolutionary step forward from the 5000 series, but should continue to put pressure on Nvidia.

Cooler Master HAF 912 Gaming Case

So what do you do when you don’t need a large case? Coolermaster has the answer for you; it is the HAF 912. The 912 is a mid-size tower that stands a mere nineteen inches tall, but still has the look that we came to love from the preceding HAF models. The HAF 912 shares the same great rugged looks, spacious interior, and great air circulation like it's bigger brothers; however, it has one thing unique only to it, it's budget price point. If you're like us, you are left wondering how was Coolermaster able to build such a great case for a mere $60? Join us in the following pages and find out!
