To get you into the April 1st swing of things, jimx has this Top 100 April Fools Hoaxes of All Time article. #14 cracked me up. :)

There's a cool portable PC project from jaffo in the PCDB. I can't imagine what airport security would think of that one. Meanwhile, OzDean has pretty much the classic neon and perspex case going, very nicely put together.

Gaz sent some worrying news, that Microsoft may be able to control the open-source movement via their purchase of an obscure patent. The last sentence of this article is particularly worrying.

EPoX's 8RDA+ seems to be the nForce2 motherboard that everyone is going for at the moment, and WinHQ want to tell you how to overclock yours.

From Comit: Logitech mouseware drivers v.9.76 released. Get em' here.

Some more info about the linux on unmodified xbox story, thanks Lord Funky Biscuit.

Bjorn3D have info about NVIDIA's drivers for linux and how they are apparently a lot easier to install now.

From Andreas: apparently this is the card that will ship with the MSI "MEGA" line of SFF pc's (GF4 Ti4200). Should be nice and quiet!

Dan has been very busy.. what with letters, reviews of mouse wax and kittens..

Today's timewaster is Doom Funnel Chasers, which seems to be similar to the Penguins things-in-space game that had us all very badly addicted about a year ago.. actually, it seems to be a sequel. Uh-oh! Thanks whitetoedog.
