Sabretooth spotted an article about tech trends for 2003. Gillette's just ordered half a billion RFID chips to put on its razors: one day soon, you'll be walking around with enough transponders in your clothing and stuff you bought to be tracked from Mars. Just thought you'd like to know.

VooDoo sent in this funny thread over on the StraightDope forums, about a killer blimp.

With all the talk of war and terrorism lately, even potatoes aren't immune. Also, people are apparently letting the US Govt know how they feel, by picking up the phone.. thanks Tori.

A few people noticed this odd marketing approach for a Visiontek video card. ATI’s SMOOTHVISION,™ anti-aliasing, kicks the CRAP out of visual distortion resulting in smoother looking images. HI-RES 32-bit, 3D gaming up to 2048x1536 means when ‘intense applications’ come out to play, XTASY 9100 says: “ BI-A-TCH! GO MAKE ME A SAMWICH!!” Bizarre.

Hoopstar's latest project is a Wurlitzer Jukebox MP3 PC, looks pretty good!

ExplosiveLabs compared two nForce2 motherboards, from EPoX and Chaintech.

Dan. Letters. Yay.

TheInq have some insight into where in the market AMD is positioning Operon. AMD wants to position its X86-64 Opterons in a different class to Xeons and the existing, Barton core, Athlons.

Quite a few people pointed out that ISOnews has apparently been taken down by the US Govt for being naughty naughty people.

A1-Electronics compared a pile of CPU coolers, some air, some water.

No flash timewaster this time, but a spooky flash psychic thing from Daniel. 3 out of 3 correct for me, so far. Go on, tell me how it works then.
