Why The Irish Times fancies itself as a startup incubator

What can a 153-year-old news publisher teach five tech startups? Digital expertise may flow both ways as Ireland's newspaper of record offers desk space and funding to new companies whose products it hopes to adopt.

Lenovo ThinkCentre M92P Desktop Computer Review

Pros Decent processing power in a small package Small, compact case with detachable DVD Cons Not Wi-Fi ready out of the box Slow hard drive Bottom Line The ThinkCentre M92P is a compact, energy-efficient PC in a tiny package, but it can't make up its mind whether it's an office system or multimedia machine.

Want Your Startup to Succeed? Stay Home

A new study shows that startups do better when they're launched in the place where their founders were born or have lived for a long time.

Amazon Instant Video Lands on iPad As Prime Members Weep With Joy

The fact that Amazon's Instant Video service-which, while no Netflix, is starting to catch up-is just thrown in as an add-on to the already wonderful Amazon Prime is a little astonishing, when you think about it.
