There’s no denying that the widespread growth of Linux was due in part to the raw enthusiasm of advocates meeting together under the broad banner of a “LUG” – a Linux User Group.

New set-top boxes from Cisco's Scientific Atlanta business unit will be the first to be branded Cisco.

A new book on the history of the telephone is being lauded for revealing the "shocking truth" that Alexander Graham Bell plagiarised a key component of his invention from rival Elisha Gray. The book's author may have uncovered the vital damning evidence that eluded Bell's accusers over a hundred years ago, but there is little shocking in the allegations which were thoroughly aired and repeatedly tested in court several times in the late 19th century.
