Celebrating 30 Years of the IBM PC
The IBM PC was launched 30 years ago today, and PCMag.com has more than coverage than you can fit on a 5-inch floppy drive. We have quotes from Bill Gates, a killer timeline, and Desktop Analyst Joel Santo Domingo defending his job, among other stories. I even add a few words on why PCMag.com is not changing its name. Check out the full package to see how far we have come.

 | The PC, Then and Now
What a difference three decades make. The first IBM PC was a revolutionary system in its time, but it looks like a museum piece next to the newest Lenovo desktop. Here's a look at the many, many differences.

Ultrabooks: What You Need To Know
If you follow the PC industry at all, you may have heard that "ultrabooks" are the next hot thing to hit the market.

Sounds like it should be a scary time for Firefox, but not according to ExtremeTech's Sebastian Anthony. He says Google should be worried. And Microsoft should break out its wallet. Find out why.
HIV Used to Kill Cancer Cells
Talk about sci-fi scenarios. Would it be possible to take the infection capacity of HIV to alter white bloods so they attacked cancer cells? The answer might be yes, according to researchers at the Abramson Cancer Center at the University of Pennsylvania.

Want to Help CERN find the God particle?
As a rule, I advocate turning off your electronics whenever they are not in use. It is good for the planet and good for your electric bill. However, if you are using that otherwise dormant silicon to do something spectacular, say, locating the Higgs boson (also known as the God particle), I am all for that.
