Apparently the Microsoft toilet idea has been flushed. Awwww. Their mobile phone plans have been hung up for a while too, thanks Josh.
Techware talk about memory timings and what they really mean. Meanwhile, xbitlabs have a memory market overview for May 2003.
Rojakpot wonder if there's anything really new about NVIDIA's new nForce versions. Official 400MHz FSB support is a new feature, but plenty of older nForce2 boards had no problem with that speed and others are achieving it with a recent BIOS update. Computerbase show that the Asus A7N8X can do it now (article translated from German).
Offtopic, but a depressing article about the state of the oceans on GlobeAndMail.
There's some concern about Soltek, with their pulling out of the US market. A shame, I was quite impressed by their KT333 motherboard when I reviewed it some months ago. Still using it in my games box!
Chad thinks that this is proof that drugs make you dumb. Makes sense to me. :)
From Lovechild: For those of you who don't already know, Gentoo Linux and Supercomputerinc have teamed up to bring the world a next generation gaming platform and the first project is just out. The America' army LiveCD. To run this just download, burn on CD and reboot off the CD, no install required, showing the true power of Linux. Only runs on nVidia and newer ATI cards (8500 or higher). Funny, this reminds me of the Amiga days, rebooting into games...
eDust noted 7200rpm laptop HDD's on the way from Hitachi.
OverclockedCafe built a machine with the goal of hiding the wires that normally clutter the innards. Let's hope they did better than my disembowelled by a samurai effort.
Dycloo sent in a much more detailed report of the construction of the "Army Girl PC". Pretty amazing project when you see the good photos of it.
Thetron sent word of a massive multiplayer game based on The Matrix, called (imaginitively enough) The Matrix Online. I hope they do a good job of it, could be very cool.
ViperLair have an article about connecting a DataVision graphic LCD to your printer port. One of our most popular articles for a long time was Wolfy's DIY LCD project, which is a similar idea but uses not quite as fancy an LCD.
Flash timewaster of the day is Pasteroids from Pugsley_21. Asteroids, but with pasta. Arrow keys, Z to shoot, A to hyperjump. Pretty cool. :)
