Our webserver had some email trouble over the last couple of days, but is sending the queued mail now. So, if you've subscribed to a lot of forum threads you might get a whole pile of mails from it while it gets back up to date.
We also passed the 50,000 user mark in our Forums yesterday!
Sniper spotted this WiFi wallpaper for added security.
TheTechZone took a tour of ABIT's factory in China. Unlike America, Chinese factories like Abit have to house their own workers. Employees are given free housing along with free lunch and dinner. They're paid an average of 1,000RMB per month. That works out to about $100US.
The Top500 List of supercomputer rankings has been updated, with IBM scoring well but not toppling NEC's Earth Simulator.
ModCity have a fix for boring side panels on your case, while ByteSector think PSU sleeving and Molex changing is the go. ARP meanwhile cover Radeon 9800 Pro volt-modding.
From Grimace: Just a follow up to the blue tooth virus story a few days ago but it seems as if an Australian company has found a fix for it. Details here and the website in question is here.
From Fergo: Skype, the freeware VoIP softphone with excellent sound quality/bandwidth performance has just been released for Linux! I've tried it briefly on Fedora Core 2 and it's working great so far. Installer RPMs and tar files are available from here.
Apparently dogs can detect epileptic seizures in humans up to 5 hours before they happen. Spooky.
The SpaceShipOne flight was apparently a spectacular success, thanks Sphinx. Test pilot Mike Melvill landed at Mojave Airport, about 80 miles north of Los Angeles, California, after taking the rocket plane SpaceShipOne to an altitude of more than 100 kilometers (62.5 miles) -- the internationally recognized boundary of space. More info here from looktall.
The ArsMasters have posted their thoughts on the future of Prescott.
Bit-Tech compared three Radeon X800 Pro video cards.
I'm not quite sure if this is satire or serious, but either way it's car PC overkill, thanks VIVIAN.
GameDaily are reporting a Doom 3 launch date of August 3 2004, thanks Indefinate. I'll believe it when I see it.
