Remember the NetBank scam we linked to last week? It looks like the Federal Police have caught up with the naughty man responsible. More here. Thanks to all those who sent in the link.

Mibberz sent this link in. It has some interesting source code on the page if you care to have a look. Oh, it also shows a good cup holder.

This just in from Tim. "The next Zgeek/CLGA LAN is coming up on March 29th. There's room for 130 people, we're giving away about $800 worth of prizes, all are welcome and there are about a dozen slots of the 130 remaining when last I checked". Go here for more info.

Here's a promising idea. Reachable devices which don't need to be plugged in to charge them. See wireless recharging for more info. Link from Greg and others.

A couple of pieces from local news-hound eDust. Microsoft wants universities to teach hacking! Sounds unreal, well, it is kind off. The want people to be able to write secure code. Read the full story here. Also, an overview of how to use your iPaq PDA to solve networking problems.

Multi-Function Panels are becoming so popular, It wasn't that long ago one had to build their own. Enermax have one of the latest off the production line and it looks neat. HardCoreWare review it for you.

Hardware Avenue have an ad-hoc guide to building a home wireless network.

Here is an original mod. A Pneumatic PC. Air powered accessories. The sort of thing that inspires!
