Google announces the Chromebook Pixel, the $1300 Chrome netbook nobody should buy

There are good reasons for buying a Chromebook, mainly because they’re super cheap. For someone who needs just the basics like web surfing, watching internet videos and using office document programs and wants an attached physical keyboard, the $200 Chromebook is nice.

British scientists restore the world’s oldest digital computer to perfect working order

Computers and electronics don’t really age well. Once small components get damaged, it’s not like you can give them a spit shine and shove them back in.
