The presentation includes a video that highlights his vision and showmanship, as well as a statement from his family. Jobs died on Oct. 5, 2011, at the age of 56, after a battle with …

Microsoft’s Windows 11 operating system is rolling out today. The new operating system doesn’t have the most lenient requirements for people who want to upgrade compatible devices. To do so, you’ll need 64-bit processors selected, 4GB of memory, 64GB of storage, UEFI secure boot and TPM 2.0.  Despite pushback from users, Microsoft said in an August blog post that it would keep …

The 15.6-inch Aspire Vero is one of Acer’s first laptops to ship with Windows 11 alongside updated versions of its ultraportable Swift 5 and entry-level Nitro 5 gaming laptops. The Vero is entirely new, though. Well, not entirely new, as it’s Acer’s first laptop made from post-consumer recycled plastics, and it ships in packaging made from recycled materials that are also 100% recyclable.  …

Facebook’s hours-long outage on Monday left its nearly 3 billions users unable to connect with each other on the service, and apparently not everyone was content to wait for the social networking giant to work out its problem. The company behind Telegram, an instant-messaging-app rival to Facebook’s Messenger, said Tuesday that it added 70 million users while Facebook was offline …

Microsoft goes for sleeker and more sensible rather than ground-breaking with the 14-inch Surface Laptop Studio, replacing the dated docked-tablet of its Surface Book 3 and its 2015-era design. Still targeted at creators and gamers, the Laptop Studio’s distinguishing feature is its three-position 120Hz display: In addition to a standard clamshell, typing-oriented position, you can pull it out to angle …

The Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 is currently $300 on Amazon, which appears to be its lowest price to date. CNET’s Joshua Goldman reviewed this Chromebook last year and he loved the performance and battery life, the USB-C charging ports on both sides and the pen-enabled touch screen. And it should go without saying that while this laptop has great battery life …

DirecTV Stream revealed Tuesday that it will begin broadcasting local PBS stations later this year, joining competitor YouTube TV.  The two companies said that participating PBS member stations will become available over the next few months, and the full launch will be completed in 2022.

The new upgrades makes it easier to toggle between your personal and work tabs, apps and desktops. Windows 11 will have a few new updates, like chat for Microsoft Teams, Widgets and Snap Layouts.  …

Few people figure in the story of Silicon Valley as prominently as Steve Jobs. After co-founding Apple in 1976, Jobs was famously fired from the company in 1985. In a twist worthy of Shakespeare, he returned a little over a decade later to save Apple from near-bankruptcy, setting it on the path to become one of the world’s most highly …

For as long as I can remember, the iconic Windows Start button has been in the bottom left corner of my PC’s screen. It’s a predictable location for a button that’s a critical piece to navigating your computer, but in Windows 11, Microsoft has redesigned the taskbar. (You can check out CNET’s Windows 11 review here.) With the release of Windows 11 …

Windows 11 will start rolling out to eligible devices today, but not everyone will get it right away. The free update brings plenty of new features, complete with a new start menu, widgets and a refreshed interface. Even the Microsoft Store is getting a big update (though don’t expect to see Android apps right away). Now playing: Watch this: Windows 11: Will your computer be …
