Gary_J found this amazing article about people being able to virtually participate in a future World Rally Championship. The plan revolves around a virtual car and team that will start, hypothetically, in position 10 on each and every world championship event.

If rally isn't your thing, perhaps the new Escape from Woomera detention-centre simulator will be. It's so good, the Govt is paying for it. Amazing.. thanks to everyone who sent that in.

ABIT sent word that they have withdrawn completely from this year's Computex show in Taiwan. ABIT had planned to display our new ABIT Engineered product line, including the Fastest PC in the World, featuring an BH7 motherboard, Vapochill cooling system and Kingston DDR RAM, as well as our GigaSystem™ featuring an IC7-G with a Vapochill and Kingston RAM. Instead, we will host visitors at our Neihu headquarters. Hmm, if too many more vendors feel the same way I think Computex might be a fizzer this year. Will keep an eye out for other announcements.

Chainbolt found a cardboard PC on sale in Japan.

AthlonXP.com modded a DigiDoc to fit into two 3.5 inch bays instead of the single 5.25 inch bay it normally inhabits.

Ambush says the nForce2 SATA corruption problem has been fixed, info here and here.

Lots of people sent word that there's new iPods from Apple.. more info here.

One of the very first articles I wrote for OCAU, way back in 1999 sometime, is this slug sanding one. OCClub have an article about doing a similar thing to the GPU chip on your video card.

The Wi-FI Alliance says we can be more confident about wireless security, thanks thetron.

Bern spotted another naughty bunny.. this one isn't a hacker, it's a chomper.

More of the usual whacky stuff on ZZZ online.
