Google announces open source Chrome OS
July 8th, 2009 Tom Clarke So here is the announcement we’ve been waiting for. Over the last three years or so, I’ve had many conversations with colleagues about the likelihood, or rather the inevitablility, of Google eventually releasing its own operating system.

Ubuntu Tutorial: How to install Ubuntu on your PC
June 23rd, 2009 Elena Santos After reading dozens of articles about the wonders of Ubuntu and hearing some of my workmates constantly praising it, I was so curious to test it for myself that I couldn’t help it: I’ve downloaded the latest version of this popular Linux distro from their official website and I’m just about to install it.
