Dell offers pretty decent laptops with Unbuntu preinstalled.
I personally haven't picked one up yet, bit I might in the very near future.

Submission + - Blizzard confirms new MMO
japandegreeinit writes: Gamespot has an article in which Blizzzard confirms that it has a new next-gen MMO in the works. Can this one be as big of an announcement as Starcraft II?
"It's been assumed for quite some time that Blizzard Entertainment is working on a new massively multiplayer online game. In April, Blizzard indicated a "next-gen MMO" was in the works by way of job listings on its official Web site. Playing coy, however, the World of Warcraft developer simply noted that it had a number of unannounced projects under its awnings, but no official confirmation of a new title would be forthcoming."

Feed Engadget: Red Octane VP excuses axe incompatibility, blames Rock Band issues (engadget.com)
Filed under: Gaming, Peripherals
Alright, try to stay with us here. Guitar Hero IIIs's axe works just fine with Rock Band, but only the one for the Xbox 360, and Rock Band's guitar won't play the first note on any flavor of GHIII. Your head spinnin' yet? We're betting yes, and apparently, the folks over at 1UP were downright tired of being dizzy. Consequently, they phoned up Red Octane's (publisher of Guitar Hero) co-founder and VP of Business Development, Charles Huang, to chat about the totally confusing compatibility quandary. We fully understand the complexities in getting the instruments to work with other games, as well as the potential business impact, but Mr. Huang chose to take a different route when explaining why no Guitar Hero title would accept a Rock Band controller. He was quoted as saying that Red Octane wasn't "too interested in having [Harmonix] guitars work on its game, because [Harmonix is] having a lot of issues with its guitars." Of course, this logic begins to fall apart when you realize there was absolutely no compatibility even before these malfunctions came to light. Nice try, though.[Via DailyTech]
