Welcome to Tech Beat, your daily look at what matters in the world of technology.
The Metal Gear Solid two source code has reportedly leaked on four-chan, with files from the HD Edition making their way into public view. For a game that's spent two decades being dissected for its eerily prescient themes about information warfare, having its actual code exposed carries a certain uncomfortable irony.

The desktop Mac Pro costs several times more and targets a narrow professional audience, while the laptop handles most of what most people actually need. The word Pro, it turns out, is doing a lot of heavy lifting.
