In a similar vein to the Hubble pics I linked a few days ago, NASA have put up some cool images taken by the Chandra X-Ray Observatory and John sent in the link to NASA's Astronomy Picture Of The Day archive including this amazing Earth picture we linked a while ago.
A few people pointed out that the PCDB has hit 2000 entries! There's some dissent about which entry was the magic number though - some say gbm31, some say HariSingh3k while I thought it was Abit667. None of those entries have pics, but here's a couple of new ones that do and look great, from FoderMe and Scout255.
Apparently TheHungerSite was another victim of the internet ad-market slump.. which affected more people than the dissapearance of most other sites.

TheInquirer note Athlon4 multipliers will go to 18X, possibly opening up a heap of overclockability presuming the new cores can handle it, which seems likely given the success with the current cores.. thanks X_phile.
Random idea: If I have a URL in my clipboard when opening a new browser window, the browser should open that URL.
