You'll no doubt be very surprised to hear that the recent time-travelling inside trader story has turned out to be a hoax. Awww.. thanks Nik. Actually, that Snopes.com article doesn't really tell us anything we didn't already know. Snopes is a great site, but it always amazes me how people who, while arguing that we shouldn't believe stuff we read on the net, will use a single article on Snopes as irrefutable proof that such-and-such other Web story is a hoax. Not that I think the time-travelling story is true, though. :)
Interesting gadget on GideonTech, a laptop desk to stop your laptop burning a hole in your legs.
F1DarkFlash spotted this ATI press release saying they have shipped Radeon 9800 Pro GPU's and OEM cards, so it's not vapourware. Still be a little while before we see either them or GeForceFX cards on the shelves, I suspect.
Cellular mobile phones celebrated their 30th birthday recently.. there's an article here about their inventor and what he hopes will come of the technology in the future.
Sabot68 has a nice VCR PC in the PCDB.
OneArmedMan spotted TheReg ripping into Senator Alston again, regarding his $4M website. $661k of it was for hardware, apparently. For comparison, OCAU serves 7 million dynamic pages a month from hardware worth less than $5k.
Apparently the proposed CD burning kiosks are to be scrapped, thanks Crusterminator. Copyright issues, unsurprisingly.
From surfichris: Microsoft has just started shipping there beta software to its testers. I just received a 15 CD set including Office 2003, Publisher 2003, FrontPage 2003, InfoPath 2003, Windows Server 2003, Windows SharePoint (and Portal cd), Outlook 2003, Exchange Server 2003 and OneNote 2003 (as well as three other office resource cd's).
Version 2.9 of classic Winamp is now available, thanks gLaCiuS.
Oliver sent in today's Flash Timewaster, which delayed this newspost by a fair while.. it's a space invaders clone on a Star Wars theme.. you face different imperial ships over time and you can buy powerups between levels. A little light on graphics and maybe too easy, but fun for a while.
