Sorry about the lack of news yesterday, bit of a hectic one.

Cooler laptops could be on the way, with work on fine-grained heatpipes to remove heat faster, thanks eDust.

OneArmedMan reports rumours of Microsoft buying Vivendi. Half-Life 2, Warcraft, Counter-Strike, Crash, Spyro, Lord of the Rings... Vivendi has an enormous portfolio boasting some of the biggest titles on all formats, and it would be an ultra-smart move on Microsoft's part to snap them up.

Sabretooth spotted this bizarre crash bonsai site.

TechSpot have updated their OS Updates page.

Firemoth sent in this page with info on the progress of projection keyboards.. defintely one of the most interesting gadget ideas for a while.

From Sm00thY: No mention of the National Linux Conference currently running at UWA in Perth. Linux.conf.au for all the details. Some IT pages have made mention of the fact that Linus is attending (not speaking though) and made his first appearance complete with penguin suit.

Trevor sent in another smashing a PC page.. well, he burns it, too. And it's not his, it's his ex-girlfriend's. :)

How do you transport a large, broken ship? You get an even larger one to carry it around.. interesting photos from Bern.

HP and Intel are cooperating on a Chinese linux center.. thanks again Bern.

Meanwhile, Mandrake has filed for bankruptcy, thanks Robert.

Old but funny article about Australia on SatireWire, thanks Symon.
