With the number of different memory standards, it’s sometimes difficult to figure out exactly what memory is needed for an upgrade, especially with older systems, custom built computers, or generic PCs.  To help consumers make informed purchases, Crucial has released their new Crucial System Scanner Tool. 

The System Scanner is a program that scans your hardware and gives you a details analysis that includes compatible memory upgrades, how many memory slots you have open, and how much total memory your system can support.  In addition, it will analyze your graphics hardware, and let you know what you can run, and give you a list of compatible Crucial Radeon cards.

Headroom App on Apple iPhone Duo controlling a Mac

The iPhone Duo has barely been out for a day, and someone's already found a way to run their Mac on it. Well, sort of. Headroom, a remote desktop app from MusicFlow, lets users control their Mac from Apple's new foldable phone, with an interface that adapts as the device opens, closes, and folds in half.
