Been a while... :)

Apparently there is a follow up article to the SCO vs Linux drama. "A Victorian Open Source group says it is bemused by the suggestion that any of the Linux source code contains proprietary UNIX code or trade secrets." Another article here.

Daniel sent in this spiffy looking USB watch. In-fact, Firemoth found something very similar on think geek the other day. It may actually be the same thing.

X-box live are looking for beta testers! You must "Own an Xbox, Have a valid credit card, A PC with email and Web access at home, Have broadband Internet access at home, Be able to connect your Xbox to your Broadband internet connection with an Ethernet cable, Be 18 years old or older, Be comfortable reading and writing in English" Thanks Mr Grimm.

It's a bird, it's a plane, no, it's SONY's new Monstrous Combo-Drive!

Apparently Sun has signed a global deal with Red hat. "Sun Microsystems has entered into a global alliance agreement with Red Hat Linux to distribute the latter's Enterprise Linux operating system, and broaden the use of each other's technologies."

Please, Walk this way! "The Pentagon is developing a radar-based device that can identify people by the way they walk, for use in a new anti-terrorist surveillance system." Thanks Fatso.

There is an updated DDR guide right here.

Put down that cop! " The state of Washington has become the first in the nation to regulate the sale of video games. Gov. Gary Locke on Monday signed into law a bill banning the sale of certain 'violent' games to anyone under 17."

More E3 goodies here in a 15 page review.

We now have robots reading books for us... sorta. "... Inside the room, a Swiss-designed robot about the size of a sport utility vehicle was rapidly turning the pages of an old book and scanning the text. The machine can turn the pages of both small and large books as well as bound newspaper volumes, and it can scan at speeds of more than 1,000 pages an hour. "

On a lighter note, a Linux Developer Got Laid! Well, I never!
