Tech-Report have a Haswell PSU compatibility list. For a few weeks now, we've known that Intel's Haswell processors feature a new sleep state that isn't compatible with all power supplies.

It also has licensing agreements with massive companies like Samsung, Motorola, Sony and LG, which arose when Personal Audio sued them for breaching its patent.
Richard spotted this digital productivity conference in Brisbane next week. The conference, exhibition and demonstrations feature cutting edge technologies being trialled across Australia via the National Broadband Network. Take part in a virtual tour of the National Museum of Australia via a robot guide, discover how organisations are making telework a productivity booster, and see how innovative telehealth services are helping older Australians stay in their homes longer. This is also a great opportunity to learn more about the benefits of high-speed broadband for business and households – including the release of some new research. It's free to attend but will also be webcast.
