We knew it would come sooner or later, and from the looks of it widespread 64-bit computing might be on the horizon.

We've received several emails in the last hour or so from our readers regarding Sony offering the "Fresh Start" bloatware-free option on one of their high-end laptops.

At the start of my last semester of school, I was taken back when I read the syllabus for one of my classes.

For most of my college career I had gotten used to bringing my laptop to class to take
