John McAfee is apparently glad that Intel are dropping his name from their products. Last June, McAfee appeared in a profanity-laced video attacking the quality of the software produced by the company, which he founded in the late 1980s. He said he frequently gets emails from customers who complain that it degrades the performance of their computers and is difficult to remove.
mpot spotted this interesting project where someone built their own open-source laptop. Building your own laptop makes about as much sense as retrofitting a Honda Civic with a 1000hp motor, but the lack of practicality never stopped the latter activity, nor ours.

Radeon's 290 series cards are beginning to get their much needed additional cooling with PowerColour giving them a triple slot, five heat pipe, two aluminum fin array, and three 80-mm fan design.
