Windows 8 on my laptop

I got my laptop back (had to send it in to school to get all school owned programs wiped from it) so I replaced the 2.5" HDD with my Corsair Force F60 SSD and installed Windows 8 Release Preview on it. I must say, Windows 8 on a laptop like this, is fantastic. There seems to be a bug where I got like 50% chance of getting a blue screen when I start from sleep mode, but other than that it's great.
Very smooth even with mediocre specs (core 2 duo and 4GB of RAM, integrated graphics) and it really feels like the limited resolution gets used efficiently with the new GUI. Booting takes about 20 seconds, and more than half of that time seems to be the BIOS loading. Yeah, starting the BIOS takes longer than fully booting the whole OS.

The new "Retina" Macbook Pro

The only interesting thing announced at Apple's WWDC was the new Retina Macbook Pro. They also announced iOS 6, some things for OS X Lion and other stuff, but to me, the biggest thing by far was the Macbook Pro.

Oh Microsoft you so crazy

Why can't Apple keynotes be this awesome?

Apple now owns yet another ridiculous patent

You guys have seen those trendy ultrabooks, right? Very light weight and thin laptops with somewhat decent processors, an SSD and usually pretty nice screens.
Well, most of them uses a triangular shape, where the front (where the touch pad is located) is quite a bit thinner than the back, where the battery is located. They look kind of like this:

Asus tablets I am actually excited about

As some of you probably know, I am not a fan of those tablets like the iPad and Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. However, I have seen at least 2 tablets announced at Computex this year. Both of which are from Asus. The one which I am most excited about is this one:

Lots of passwords stolen

Seems like a lot of sites have had security breaches recently.
I assume lots of you have already heard of LinkedIns' users passwords being stolen, about 6.5 million of them in fact. However, it seems like the same people have stolen about 1.5 million passwords from the site eHarmony. It doesn't end there though, because passwords have leaked from Last.fm as well.
Seems like Reddit might be involved as well, but nothing is confirmed yet.
So if you use any of these sites, update your passwords and preferably use different passwords for each site.

Apple seek ban on the Galaxy S 3

This is not even funny anymore... For **** sake Apple, what the hell are you doing?
So apparently Apple is trying to get the Galaxy S 3 banned, because S Voice is too much like Siri. I wonder if Apple realize Almost all icons, the background and the functionality of S voice was already in the Galaxy S 2, which was released long before the iPhone 4S were. If anything, it's Apple who is copying Samsung.
I hate Apple so much right now... They are not even trying to compete anymore, just ban everyone else who is a threat seems to be Apple's strategy. Maybe because pretty much all their own products sucks?
