• Lenovo Yoga Book almost reaches the Courier dream

  

  As usual, this year’s IFA is packed with devices and all sorts of trinkets, some of which we’ve already been shown beforehand (hi, Galaxy Note 7!). But only a few stand out from the crowd and if there’s one piece of tech that’s turning heads in Berlin this week, that would undoubtedly be the Lenovo Yoga Book. A mishmash of different yet complementary technologies, the Yoga Book is like an embodiment of contradictions. A digital tablet with an analog bent, a mix of cool features that make it imp..

• OpenOffice Contemplates Shutdown Amid Volunteer Drought

  

  OpenOffice, the free, open-source Microsoft Office alternative, could be shut down if more developers can’t be recruited to support the project and keep the software secure. Dennis E. Hamilton, a volunteer vice president of the project, outlined the situation, and the process of the hypothetical shutdown, in an email to OpenOffice developers on Thursday. The immediate problem is that, according to Hamilton’s email, that team now consists of only about six core members. The dearth of volunteers ..

• The Maingear R1 Razer Edition is the liquid-cooled desktop PC of your dreams

  

  Between refreshing its Blade gaming notebook for 2016 and creating an iPad Pro cover with an integrating mechanical keyboard to announcing its second-gen VR headset, Razer hasn’t had much downtime as of late. With IFA 2016 in full swing, you’d think that Razer wouldn’t have much new to showcase but that’s not the case. The gaming accessory specialist somehow found time to inject its notebooks with Kaby Lake and Pascal hardware, introduce a new ManO’War headset and open pre-orders for its Starga..

• Razer gaming keyboard offers no-compromise comfort and speed

  

  Gaming keyboards tend to be an either/or proposition. Either you get the fast action and feedback of mechanical switches, or you 'settle' for the relative comfort of membrane rubber domes. Razer doesn't think you should have to choose. It's introducing the Ornata, a keyboard series whose "Mecha-Membrane" hybrid promises both the soft feel of a membrane with the "crisp, tactile" input of mechanical switches. It's too soon to say how well it works in practice (you'd likely want to spend days with..

• Did you get a bunch of emails from Variety this weekend? OurMine is to blame

  

  OurMine has struck again, and this time, its victim had victims, too. Variety became the latest subject of the security group’s hacking efforts, and as a result, the publication’s subscribers found their inboxes flooded with dozens of copies of identical messages. Because there’s nothing like starting your long weekend with spam, right? Lovely. Looks like @Variety was hacked and now they are sending tons of emails over and over… pic.twitter.com/5dJ43Z2ZuV — Gerry D (@GerryDales) September..
