“December of 2008 bears many similarities to that winter of eight years ago, but everything is bigger and more complex – the computer, the network, the industry, the market, even Ars Technica. Nowadays, the web stack encroaches ever further into the domain of venerable operating system, and the massive datacenter replaces the simple file server. To suit this new and larger world, we’ve revived our annual awards tradition, and given it a reboot in the form of The 2008 Ovatio Awards, by Ars Technica.”Here is some more Tech News from around the web:
