S3 Graphics announced the GammaChrome Family of Top to Bottom Native PCI Express Graphics Solutions.

Australia's Attorney-General department announced that a significant increase has been recorded in prosecutions and convictions obtained through telecommunications interception warrants in the past year. Report here. There's also a draft of some new offenses proposed under the Telecommunications Act applying to internet use, mobile phones etc. Finally, they propose a national defamation standard, instead of the per-state hodgepodge we have now. As a publisher, that document looks like good news.
