    Tom's Hardware Wants You: CPU Tests For 2011

    I see photoshop CS5, but that really doesn't task the CPU quite like After Effects does.

    L.A. Adopts Google Email for Staff of 30,000

    cruiseoverideThis is just another nail in Microsoft's coffin. Bill bailed before the going got tough. I fail to see how this could possibly be the end for MS, as they moved from a Novell system to a google one. MS possibly lost out providing outlook and server software plus support. Now...
