Neowin.net is a technology news site mostly focused on Windows and PC-related topics. Due to the occassional inccurate and biased parts of it's news posts, it lives up their current slogan "Where unprofessional journalism looks better".
The site covers many different sections, each of which has its own colour scheme of 'technology world' including:
- Main (Blue) - is on current events as pertaining to Microsoft, Intel, AMD, and other PC hardware and software manufacturers. But is sometimes not only limited to that, sometimes to some horific or milestones of other notable websites. Misplaced Pages was a news article on neowin.net when it hit its 1 million articles mark, also noted in the post was this article itself.
- Software (Green) - chronicles mostly Windows shareware and freeware, including any updates or beta releases.
- Gamers (Grey) - news on both PC and console gaming, such as new releases and console hardware.
Neowin was started as a hobby in October 2000. One of Neowin's claims to fame is being the subject of the most viewedstory on slashdot ever.
