 The Best of PC World |
July 4th, 2008  Now that summer has officially arrived, we’re celebrating with a special issue. In Top Stories we’ve got the scoop on watching the Summer Olympics online, a video preview of Spore (a “software toy,” not a game!), and a roundup of free music sites that won’t get you busted by the RIAA. In News, very important announcements: “Princess Bride” has been made into a game, and the “Star Wars: The Clone Wars” game is coming this fall–complete with Nintendo Wii-controlled lightsaber battles. In our Business Center, IBM is using cocoa to improve its business chances in Africa (and no, we’re not kidding). In Blogs we present Steve Bass’s weekly roundup of Time Wasters, and in Reviews we look at television programming online. In How-To, learn how to make mosaics with your digital photos. Watch our hip editors demonstrate Yamaha’s space-age instrument, the Tenori-On, in Videos, and in Downloads check out the winners of the Independent Games Festival. Plus, don’t forget to visit the PC World Community.* Top Stories *
