Eight months after Verizon Wireless showed off the prototype for the Droid Bionic, it is finally coming to market. The device is among the handful of phones that will run on the 4G LTE network that Verizon is rolling out this year -- and the carrier's first to sport a dual-core processor. If that makes it sound fast, that's because it is, said Verizon Wireless national spokersperson Brenda Ranei. Source: TechWorldNews

One of the most essential computer maintenance tasks is pruning outdated and orphaned files from the deep, dark dungeons within the Linux filing system.

The University of Florida coaching staff was short on selling points when it set out to recruit high school football players in early 1990. For starters, the head coach was brand new, his predecessor having been unceremoniously dismissed in the middle of the '89 season because of rule infractions. What's more, one of the best players in school history, Emmitt Smith, decided to forgo the 1990 season and enter the NFL. Source: TechWorldNews
