There's a new MP3 format out as of yesterday, called MP3Pro. Info here and here, thanks Talking_Goat.
GameSpot have an article about gaming around the world - of course Australia gets a mention, even if it's mostly a rant about Telstra. :)
Powermike was the first of many to mention a new P3V4X BIOS, 1006 BETA 3, is available now. Remember, beta BIOSes are a leading cause of lost data, dead boards and tooth decay, so be careful. KngtRider notes it's been a full year since the last P3V4X bios release.
There's a mobile phone virus - no, really this time :) - doing the rounds in Japan.
Digit-Life have a Scanner Buyers Guide..
"Max Payne" has been almost the epitomy of vapourware for PC Gamers.. seems they've got a website for it now and you can even pre-order it, thanks Mike.
Apparently www.3dchipset.com has been taken out semi-permanently by a DDoS attack, nasty.. thanks Sud.
Some LiteStep info from Wokket: firstly they're making a development/usage map so if you're involved, register here. Secondly, litestep.net has had their server seized by the FBI (!) so the project has taken a big hit there. Hopefully their community can pull something together until the feds give it back.
Tim says: The overall project stats show that 50% of the keyspace has now been checked. Hooray! .. join the OCAU RC5 Team if you want to help out with the rest of it.
RedStar points out a couple of SMH articles: a funny one on buying titles on the net and another about nanotechnology..
Futurelooks checked out some fuel cells for powering mobile devices..
SysOpt have obtained undisclosed insider information on how VIA plans to circumvent the P4 bus license in order to legally manufacture their P4M266 chipset. .. all in VIA vs Intel, P4 DDR.
CreativeLabs have some SpyWare accusations aimed at them, thanks Spikey.
Dan has hacked his A7A266 to allow multiplier adjustment. This is similar to but simpler than our own A7M266 multiplier mod.
PlanetHardware want to tell you how to install a video card..
Transmeta apparently have a faster Crusoe processor almost ready to go..
GF3 not fast enough for you? Check out Digit-Life's Extreme GF3 Overclocking article.. those graphs give me a headache. :)
Icrontic have built 3 monster gaming machines.. hmm, dual slot1 p3's, not what I'd be using for a games box.
