Google News is one, Technorati is another, on and on down to the small fry of personal linkblogs. As to alternatives to Windows -- well, there's always Linux. Which even smart computer scientists of my acquaintance have given up on as a personal OS because you pretty much have to take it on at least at the level of a serious hobby in order to make it work right. If anybody ever successfully makes Linux "just work" the way Macs "just work" (a slight overstatement, but not *entirely* a fabrication) that person should win a Nobel Prize.
