I've became more and more interested in philosophical topics of recently, and I want to explore it further. I'd imagine an introductory book would make sense. I also want to broaden my knowledge of computers in general further (I'm thinking more hardware than anything else at the moment), so any recommendations?

Also, please refrain from talking about any of the philosophy itself to the point where it could clash the the rules.

Computer science and philosophy meet in the area of complexity theory. I think this book might be a good start: "http://www.amazon.com/Deep-Simplicity-Bringing-Order-Complexity/dp/140006256X". Just basic principles of the field.

Getting to grips with the intersection of philosophy of mind and neuroscience, eventually you must run into Wittgenstein. The classic text is "Philosophical Investigations".

Erm, now rereading your post, it seems you weren't necessarily interested in where the two topics meet. If you just want to start studying philosophy, I would recommend "History of Western Philosophy" by Bertrand Russell.

What type of philosophy?

If you want to read about the history of social philosophy (which eventually lead to the modern concept of liberty), you should start with Aristotle>Adam Smith>John Locke>Thomas Paine>Thomas Jefferson/John Adams/James Madison.
