Windows 8 has reached RTM. This means we’ve completed the product development and testing of the product and have started handing off the final code to our OEM partners. They can now begin preparing new Windows 8 PCs and devices they’ll introduce starting with General Availability.
CatDaddy20 pointed out John Carmack's 2012 QuakeCon Keynote video. As usual, it's several hours long and covers.. everything. Coverage of the keynote here and Day 1 of QuakeCon here on PC Perspective.

Read on to see what we found out when we tried one in person.
The Mars Science Laboratory is currently motoring towards Mars at several kilometers a second. It's due to land on Monday, but it's far from being guaranteed success. Still, the landing system is really amazing and will be awesome if it all comes together - here's hoping!

Gunna sent in this story about passive radar using WiFi to see through walls. The passive radar process is actually quite simple. In any space that has WiFi, you are constantly being bombarded by 2.4GHz and 5GHz radio waves. When these waves hit a moving object, their frequency is altered (the Doppler effect). By carefully “sniffing” the WiFi signals, Woodbridge and Chetty are able to reconstruct an image any objects or humans that are moving on the other side of the wall.
