Look, how many bits you choose to process in the privacy of your own home is entirely your business, but don’t expect the latest Photoshop to work on anything less than a 64-bit multi-core Mac running a minimum of Snow Leopard .

For as small as Jolicloud is, the company sure knows how to hang around. After renaming its cloud-based desktop operating system to Joli OS (and subsequently open-sourcing the thing), the outfit is taking a somewhat different approach with its latest offering

We knew good and well that Microsoft was aiming for a 2012 launch of its latest and greatest operating system, and if sources reporting to Bloomberg are accurate, it looks like we’ll have a date with Mrs. October

Microsoft aiming for October 2012 release of Windows 8, tablets and PCs on deck
Microsoft’s finally unleashed its consumer preview of Windows 8 and while we’re sure plenty of your questions were answered in our highly-detailed overview , nothing beats giving it a blast for yourself. So what are your thought so far? Is this the future destined for that Ultrabook you’ve had your eyes on

Poll: Did you download the Windows 8 preview?
We’ve seen some pretty incredible smartphones and technologies at MWC , but it goes without saying that one of the hottest topics at the show was Android, and speculation over the release and alias of its next-gen operating system. Based on Google’s update schedule, it’s within reason to expect Android 5.0 to hit within the next year — but which popular confection will bear the honor or representing the latest OS flavor? There’s been little doubt that the jelly bean will fill that role, and now ASUS has confirmed to TechRadar not only that delectable moniker — Jelly Bean — but also that the company will likely be among the first to get the new OS.

Today’s the day! It’s been months since we tested the Windows 8 Developer Preview , and now Microsoft is finally ready to let the general PC-using public give it a whirl. While we already have a feel for the overarching interface, which mashes together the traditional desktop and Metro-inspired tiles, we haven’t yet had a glimpse of the native apps that will ship as part of the OS. And think of the untold number of tweaks Redmond must have made since the Developer Preview dropped! Will we get to poke around the Windows Store?

Live from Microsoft’s Windows 8 press event at Mobile World Congress 2012!
If you’re Microsoft and in the process of overhauling Windows so that it’s equally at home on PCs and tablets, it would make sense to unveil a semi-final version at the world’s premier wireless show. That’s exactly what’s going to happen tomorrow, when the company’s executive team takes the stage here in Barcelona to show off all the changes it’s made to Win8 since we got hands-on with the Developer Preview five months ago

If you’ve been keeping an eye on this tasty little computer , you’ll know it’s a pretty exciting concept already. To further sweeten the deal, it just got its own version of Fedora

While we thought a tasteful retrospective was the way to go, it looks like HP’s not finished picking over those webOS bones. The company has now released the UI widgets for Enyo 2.0 (following its source code release last month ), details on how webOS deals with the Javascript core and a new Isis web browser. The browser will apparently add “enhanced support” for plug-ins and Flash — even if its days are numbered .

Sufficiently enamored with Samsung’s Galaxy S III that you’ve got to have one in the US before anyone else, and you don’t want it sullied by carrier customizations in the trip across the Pacific?
We can’t be certain as to how many units of the HTC EVO 4G LTE have made it out of customs thus far, but it appears the number is high enough for Sprint to officially set a date for shipping the device out to those who pre-ordered it online. A Sprint representative reached out to us to share the company’s statement from this afternoon that customers should expect to receive their valuable treasure “on or around” May 24th. We’re not in love with the “around” terminology, but this could simply be due to a high amount of demand.

(Credit: Pentax) I have to admit: the $900 Pentax K-30 dSLR sounds like a pretty promising replacement for the K-r. Rugged on the outside with the potential for the same excellent photo quality as the K-01 mirrorless ILC, claimed faster autofocus performance than the already fast K-5, and a 100 percent coverage viewfinder that you usually only see in more expensive models all add up to a possibly great start to the Pentax-Ricoh era. Though it’s not “durable” in the same sense as bodies like the Nikon D4 or Canon EOS-1D X , with parts designed to withstand heavy photographic abuse, the K-30 offers weather-and-dust resistance, with claims of usability down to 14 degrees (most cameras only guarantee down to 32 degrees); that said, Pentax makes no claims about battery life at those temperatures.
House After eight seasons, the run of Gregory House MD comes to an end on Fox tonight with a double episode. While we’ll miss Hugh Laurie fumbling around on our American TV screens every week, it definitely felt like time for the series to come to an end. We’ll see how Wilson’s cancer diagnosis wraps up and if any other old characters stop by after Thirteen popped up last week, although we will avoid throwing back a Vicodin just for old time’s sake.

Never one to focus exclusively on the very latest hardware , a new mod has brought an 6502 microprocessor to a Minecraft world near you. The system is made from three separate cubes, representing the CPU, monitor and disk drive, respectively, all connected by ribbon cables. Part of pre-release 5 of the RedPower 2 mod, programmer Eloraam has also thrown in pumps and solar panels to keep crafters busy — you’re no longer limited to light switches
