» The largest antitrust trial of the modern internet era, which wrapped up last month, has pitted the world's most popular search engine, Google, against the United States Department of Justice (DOJ).

» What is the one program you can count on to be in Windows, apart from say Minesweeper? Microsoft Paint.

» To become a video game developer is a dream that has most likely crossed the mind of anyone who enjoyed playing video games as a child. However, very few have ever managed to realise that dream as adults. As such, no one ever expected Thailand to place first at this year's Microsoft Imagine Cup 2016, where the grand prize went to Thailand's team PH21 -- a group of graduates from Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Engineering -- and their mobile game Timelie.
