| |  | Microsoft's most monumental hits, misses, and moments of 2013 Dec 9, 2013 3:00 AM Beyond major new releases for the Xbox, Windows, and Office brands this year, Microsoft spent billions to gobble up Nokia, revamped itself from head to toe as a device and services company, and said a bittersweet sayonara to its longtime chieftain--and those are just the major headlines. | | | |  | Opera 18 review: This browser's seen radical changes--perhaps too radical Dec 9, 2013 4:00 AM Opera has always been the Avis or RC Cola of Web browsers--just behind the leading two, even as the identity of the leaders shifted over time. Opera 12, reviewed some time ago, was the last of one development path. Since then, the rendering engine has shifted (to the Chromium platform) and so has the design direction. A series of rapid-fire releases began with Opera 15, and Opera 18 is the latest release build, with Opera 19 in the testing stage. | | | | | -ADVERTISEMENT- | |  | | | | | | | | |  | Dell's Venue 8 Pro just $99 today--but you'll need to hop in your car, now Dec 9, 2013 10:55 AM Forget what you've heard about Windows tablets: The new "Bay Trail" generation is both cheap and powerful. And Microsoft's Monday deal makes it even cheaper, as Dell's Venue 8 Pro tablet, normally $299, is on sale for just $99. | | | |  | Ubuntu 13.10: The good, the bad, the ugly, and the mobile Dec 9, 2013 8:17 AM The newest release of Ubuntu, dubbed Saucy Salamander, doesn't offer much in the way of new features except for the introduction of Ubuntu Touch for mobile platforms. | | | |  | NSA spied on World of Warcraft, Xbox Live, and Second Life gamers Dec 9, 2013 7:47 AM In the hunt for terrorist activity, American and British spies reportedly donned their orc helmets and infiltrated online games such as World of Warcraft. | | | |  | Clean up your public Internet profile Dec 9, 2013 7:47 AM Removing your private information from one site isn't particularly difficult, but it can be a hassle. You have to go to the site, search for your own name, and make sure you're there. Then you have to find the site's privacy policy page and read it carefully--a task that isn't always easy if you're not a lawyer. Then you have to follow the instructions. | | | |  | Big storage in a little space: Samsung's 840 EVO is the world's first 1TB mSATA SSD Dec 9, 2013 6:53 AM There are solid-state drives with big storage capabilities, and itty-bitty solid-state drives that fit nicely into ultra-slim notebooks, but there are no itty-bitty SSDs with big desktop-class storage capabilities. Well, at least until today | | | |  | In-flight entertainment: Which airline offers the best?
