Hugh Everett is the father of the Many Worlds Interpretation of quantum mechanics, the first physicist to propose that we exist in a potentially infinite series of parallel dimensions. He's also the father of Eels frontman Mark Oliver Everett, who was just 18 when his father died. Tonight, PBS airs “Parallel Worlds,…
Besides looking a lot like Vista—and we mean a lot—Microsoft has said Windows 7 uses a lot of the same foundation, too, to keep upgrade migraines to a minimum.

Got an old printer that uses a parallel adapter, but got a new computer that lacks a parallel port? This device from USBGear may be your only option. USBGear has created a combination Bluetooth printer adapter. This can connect to either a parallel style or USB printer, giving it a little Blue love. Sync your…
