Windows XP on Intel Mac bounty passes $10,000

Windows XP on Intel Mac

At the time of that posting the bounty was up to $4,000; this week it has finally surpassed $10,000, which I think is what it'll take to get some serious hackers seriously interested. In the meantime, one self-proclaimed Computer Guru has posted step-by-step intructions on accomplishing the feat. The catch is the guy doesn't own the hardware so it's all theoretical and untested.

The World's Hardest Game 2.0 - Time Waster

So, just how good at time waster games are you? Think you've got the stuff? Well, The World's Hardest Game 2.0 doesn't think you do. Yes, amazingly, it's possible to have a sequel to a game called "The World's Hardest Game". It doesn't seem logically possible, since if the first one was actually the world's hardest, how could another one come along and share the moniker? It made me doubt the name in the first place. That is, until I tried the game. The mechanics of the game are very simple. You are a small red square, ...
