Corsair have put together a presentation about Memory Basics. It's a full multimedia thing (turn your speakers on) and explains a lot of the buzzwords associated with PC memory. Of course, there's some Corsair marketing at the end - but there is a lot of genuinely useful info. The voiceover could be a bit more exciting though, found myself having trouble staying focussed on it.
Techspot have a guide to Windows Security.
From Dan: I did catch the channel 2 feature on these Australian hackers, however I did find it a little tame. I can tell you this show that was on channel 2 was basically a very cut down version of a book written several years ago, the book is much better than the TV special as in most cases of a book conversion. A bonus is that the author of the book Suelette Dreyfus (who I think was heard on several occasions during the TV spot) also released an electronic version I would suggest anyone that even remotely enjoyed the TV show should read the E-Book - available here. I also uploaded a version of underground in .zip format to my web host where it will probably stay for at least the mean time.
Sudhian have an editorial titled Going Nowhere Fast: Single-Player Gaming Since Half-Life.
Facet spotted this over on waxy.org: Some unfortunate news, everybody. Ghyslain, aka the "Star Wars Kid," and his family may be pursuing legal action against the individual(s) who originally posted his video on the Internet. Their legal counsel, Mr. François Vigeant, conducted an interview with Radio Canada which was just posted to their website. It's in French. But anyway, meh. Fair enough, I'm sure it was embarrassing and some cruel comments were made by that element of society which exists to make cruel comments at other people's expense.. but still. Calling the lawyers? The website they're suing has already, unprompted and before the legal threats, raised $4000 USD in sympathy/thanks money for the entertainment. Maybe we should be calling him the Star Bucks Kid.
Concorde has taken off on its last commercial flight.
