There's less than half the working week remaining. I like that. Anyway, on with the news.

Overclockers Australia is currently (as I type this, it may change by the time you read this) rated 5th on the Australian top 100 technology website list. This ranking is driven entirely by you, our readers, so thanks, and, well, keep up the good work! :)

According to Chuckler, when you order a burger at a certain world-famous fast food joint, they may soon be asking "Would you like a disposable mobile phone with that?"

Community Service time. Locker says that it's time to update your anti-virus software again. Why does he say this you ask? Because there's a new version of the navidad virus moving around, it comes in a file called emanuel.exe. Now, you've been warned, so don't come complaining if you get caught out, OK?

You can rest assured that you won't get advice like this in the upcoming OCAU FAQ. Thanks to wild for the first link.

Overclock.co.uk are running a competition - simply sign up for (or have an existing account on their Message Forums, and you qualify. I can't see any notice that it's not open to international readers, so go for it!

Someone needs to tell the guys at OCAddiction that computer cases are designed to house COMPUTERS....

Finally, here's a sneak preview of a future Operating System. Thanks to BIGcheeZ for this one....
