The PC’s greatest nemesis was born 40 years ago today-

The Apple Macintosh is 40 years old today. Far from the first home computer, the Macintosh has become one of the most well-known. Announced back in January of 1984, the Macintosh became famous as a personal computer that could compete with the IBM-compatible PCs that were so prevalent at the time. Or perhaps it was the George Orwell 1984 inspired Super Bowl ad that drew in the crowds—Apple sure does know how to make its products appear desirable.

“On January 24th, Apple Computer will introduce Macintosh. And you’ll see why 1984 won’t be like ‘1984’,” the ad read.

To understand the Macintosh, you have to understand what Apple was working with in the early ’80s. The California-based company had introduced a graphical user interface with the Apple Lisa, and a man…

Multiple governments around the world have secretly agreed to restrict the export of quantum computers-

It seems that “secret international discussions” have led to an export ban for quantum computers of a certain level of power, despite scientists around the world being unable to actually explain why.

Quantum computers might seem to be a work of science fiction, but they do exist and are used by academic institutions and computing businesses around the world. Even though they’re very limited in capability right now, it hasn’t stopped multiple governments from secretly agreeing to limit the export of them to other countries, leaving computer scientists puzzled over the logic behind the decision.

This game might have the worst name ever, but it’s actually pretty fun-

Data suggests that approximately 18 trillion new games are released on Steam every day. It’s difficult to stand out, so it makes sense that developers have gone absolutely bananas with videogame names lately. Case in point: a game called Bananaguy came out today, and this week also saw the debut of Pong Pong Crows, I Commissioned Some Dogs 2, Dickland: Tower Defense, KILLBUG, and a number of adult games that I’m not comfortable sharing with you, dear reader.

Throwing together random words and calling it a Steam page seems to be a working strategy. Still, I submit that the worst game name to appear on Steam this week, or maybe ever, is Jected – Rivals, a free-to-play early access arcade racer that’s actually pretty fun.

The “jected” part of the name is an unfortunate shorteni…
