A zillion people sent word that Senator Alston is standing down. The federal minister for IT, Communications and the Arts will be replaced by Attorney General Darryl Williams. There's some comments here in our forums. Whirlpool have some comments and additional info.
A fairly big story on TheInq is that Intel's Prescott will use AMD64 extensions due to pressure from MS who don't want to have to develop for 2 different platforms. Thanks to Adam for that link, doesn't seem to be confirmed anywhere else.
ARP have an editorial about plagiarism of their BIOS optimisation guide. We've had our fair share of articles ripped off (or reproduced on other sites in another language) but the most-copied thing would have to be our Online Vendors list, which I know is still reproduced intact on some other Australian sites.
