Think a career in internet scamming is for you? Might be time to think again, with authorities in the USA at least cracking down on this kind of crime.

We've mentioned this earlier, but some more info on the SCO threat to Linux, thanks Michael. Basically, SCO claim that Linux is a derivative work of UNIX (that they own) and therefore commercial Linux users may be violating SCO's intellectual property. More info here, thanks efex.

Meanwhile, Microsoft seem to be desperate to win customers away from moving to Linux, even giving away software if they have to. I thought they said free software was bad? :) Thanks Michael.

There's a suggestion on ExtremeTech that NVIDIA's recent drivers may inappropriately favour 3DMark, giving artificially high scores for their new cards. A lot of people sent that in and there's a lot of discussion going on about it, like this thread in our Video Cards forum. I don't think it's as simple as "nvidia cheating" which many have assumed.

Still on the graphics side of things, VR-Zone have compared some recent Detonator (NVIDIA) driver versions.

Don't forget there are new Catalyst 3.4 drivers from ATI out now also... a list of fixes and improvements here, thanks Keith.

There's some movies from Half Life 2 on gamespot, thanks Nigel.

Thetron spotted this funny Extreme Darren site... shame the videos are so small.

MadShrimps compared KT400A vs nForce2 vs SiS746... three chipsets for socketA DDR motherboards.

Five questions. Four answers. One man. A zillion words. It can only be... letters to Dan.
