The Linux Desktp Myth

It's entirely possible that you may not have heard of Linux. Maybe you own a Mac or Windows computer and don't read technology news. You may have a TiVo, but it doesn't have a huge sticker on the box that reads "Powered by Linux" (even though it is).

NVIDIA Releases Quad SLI for the Masses

If you've got the cash to wrangle your very own Quad SLI setup, you're probably not far off from one of those snazz Alienware or Voodoo PC boxes, which give you all that graphic muscle with none of the hassle. But if it's DIY or bust, NVIDIA has just released the necessary Quad SLI drivers to the public, meaning you can finally have the joy of putting four horrendously expensive graphics cards into that trusty homebrewed box of yours.

Gatesville

Well, I'm back in Windows. I have to say, I really enjoyed my stay in Linux, but I could never manage to install any programs :(. Hopefully I don't mess Windows up too much.

On a lighter note, I just got a new Logitech keyboard and mouse combo. It's really nice compared to my old Microsoft keyboard and mouse combo. The media controls on the Logitech keyboard are very low profile, which I love! And, I finally have a mouse with horizontal scrolling, which should come in handy in Photoshop. I hope to get a new monitor when I get back from SWC.
