Lots of people sent word that on nvidia.com there's a new official Detonator - 12.41. Baloor offers more info: They have canned the TNT support. Whether it is an error or what I am unsure. The readme states support for the TNT. The inf file tells a different story. Most TNT users who do there own inf editing are greeted with the good old BSOD on bootup. Strangely, the earlier released leaked 1241 whql did have TNT support. Hmm, can anyone else shed some light on this?

Sniper770 pointed out this page'o'pics that sum up how a lot of people are feeling about the Telstra 3GB limit thing. Some strong language in there, so kiddies beware. On a more serious note, seems that the politicians don't like it either. Reaper notes from another Telstra email that you can voice your non-acceptance of the changes to the AUP by emailing aupquery@bigpond.net.au. I WOULDN'T just go mindlessly flaming that mailbox - present yourself and your case sensibly and you're more likely to be listened to.

From The Jaymon: Just been to Compaq's roadshow which was fairly unexciting. Old stuff with faster chips and different colored cases. The only thing of interest was the prototype of an innovation Compaq is calling "Dual Worlds" which is basically a laptop with a large TFT screen. The difference with this unit is the laptop's keyboard is a docking unit which, when removed, operates via a wireless connection. The base unit of the laptop is hinged, so that when the keyboard is removed, the case can be folded upwards at a 90 degree angle forming a stand for the screen so that it looks more like a desktop TFT screen. Unfortunately there is no information on Compaq's site as this technology is still under testing, but the rest of the items on display can be found here.

From Morjo: You will have until June 18th to remove your files from your i-drive. After June 18th, you will no longer be able to access your i-drive account or retrieve your files. Login now at http://www.idrive.com.
