Scott and Scott both sent word of laptops with 17-inch LCD's in them, new from Apple. Looks like a widescreen though, not the normal square shape. 1440x900 is a bit of an odd resolution, but perhaps not in the Mac world. The rest of the specs look pretty tasty too, but the pricetag is scary.
Interesting heatpipe cooler reviewed on TecCentral. It's machine-translated from German, but you can work out what they mean and pics are good.

Xbit compared two laptops with different mobile graphics solutions onboard.
From aXis: www.e3.com.au - weblog for Perth's WaFreeNet - is holding another wireless first: treasure hunt for some stolen access points.
From LoneWolf, Sciby and the "the shareholders hope you're kidding" department comes this new motorcycle.. ish.. thing from Dodge. The 1,500-pound Tomahawk can reach 60 miles an hour in about 2.5 seconds, and has a theoretical top speed of 300 mph. On second thoughts, with some fibreglass and a coat of paint, I could live out my Judge Dredd dreams on it..
