The Australian Wireless Association are holding a field day. "There will be live demonstrations of a variety of equipment including VoIP hardware, locally setup WPOP's running the custom Debian based Wireless Distribution which has been designed for the network by the Routing Working Group. Other equipment on display will include a variety of antennae and other wireless hardware". Find out more here.

AcesHardware have mirrored a post from the Linux Kernel Mailing List in which Linus has a say about coding for the x86. Read the post here.

leperMessiah found an article on Business Week which said "Intel Corp., the dominant maker of processors for PCs, loosened its tight links with Microsoft and started making chips for Linux. This made it possible for corporations to get all the computing power they wanted at a fraction of the price". I just went back to finish reading it and the article seems to have been edited. I wonder why!

Planet Savage have a the Mini-ITX form factor with VIA's Epia M9000 and Lian-Li's PC-402A. Nice little PC.

Dan has had an idea. It's not a new idea, of course, and it's not a good one, either. But it sure sounds like fun. Make everyone who wants to use a computer take a license test.

Some more info about EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) and the plans to relace the current BIOS. Also, a new tool that lets users hide secret messages in almost any executable file. Thanks Nigel.

DVD+RW has been accepted as an official DVD Recording Standard. The DVD-RW people wont be happy.

wild has found a few interesting things on Akiba. The 3000+ barton CPU, some nVidia Quatro Graphics cards, and a USB powered toothbrush. For those long LANs.
