Wednesday Night.. Something New! (0 Comments) (link)
 Thursday, 2-August-2001  00:07:23 (GMT +10) - by alchemy

Today AMD shipped its 10 millionth processor based off the Athlon core. Fwoar. Project Red Worm also turned out to be an over hyped media frenzy, whilst news of confirmation that CPIP (Carrier Pigeon Internet Protocol) resurfaced, with proof that windows is still causing problems in the IT world.

And from Wokket.. The European Union is apparently not confined to meetings in regards to a common currency, free trade, or economic reform. Hampsters matter too. And only-in-America.. a man (pretty much embalmed at the time) blew 0.43!! when caught drink driving. Finally, if the Hampsters were not enough for you, what about some killer squirrells?

Intel seem to be pretty quick getting the mobile version of the Tualatin CPU's to market.. they only lifted the NDA for reviews a few days ago :) Looks like there is going to be a big turf war in the mobile processor market with AMD and Intel having top-rank players (for the first time ever I believe).

Finally tonight, I'm going to try something a little different.. in addition to the Reviews section that you normally find below, I'm going to (for now) include a section linking to some forum threads that I reckon are pretty interesting. This is a totally personal thing, and I don't intend on linking to many threads from The Pub or Swap and Shop.. but we'll see how it goes. As always, your feedback is encouraged, and you can make yourself heard in this forum thread, or directly to me via email.
