In a massive update, Internet Archive has added over 2,500 DOS games to its database, and all of them (with varying success) can be played right inside of your browser.

Intel Reiterates That Its 10nm Desktop Processors Are Coming

It’s been an interesting week for Intel so far, and it’s only just begun.
