Top of the news box this morning is this interview with a Marketing Director from Via Technologies. Obviously, most of the talk centres around Via's new P4X266 chipset for the P4.. and just on that topic it appears me missed a P4X266 write up from a site new to the scene - TheDDRZone. You might want to head over and give their article a looksee and have a poke around their new site.. it looks good :)
Dave from Razor Prices points out that he has started a new section of his site called Razor Trader, a place where you can trade (duh) your surplus hardware. It's sort of like the Swap+Shop forum but a bit more regulated.. he's written a bit about it in the forums here.
EXHardware has a guide to cleaning all the dust out of your PC. Meanwhile Hexus have further explanation about the IBM hard drive issues that have been surfacing lately.
TheTechZone are continuing their How To Start A Tech Site guide with a look at their webserver's backend. Basically, the backend is where the webmaster/writers go to post articles to the site. Because they have had a professional ASP developer code up their site it is rather swanky.. but ASP = IIS = EWW.
Dan has found more shiny peripherals to review - this time a silver IR keyboard designed for sitting-on-the-couch operation. Good for people that are making DiVX boxes and the like.. it's down the bottom of his already-existing shiny stuff review.
If you're interesting in Peltier cooling OCprices has interviewed a US company, PelTEC who specialises in selling Peltier elements.. some handy information in there. You might also want to check out our original Peltier Experiment and a few other Peltier articles in the article list.
In the Off-Topic department this morning, Chris points out this flash-game version of Cricket on the BBC.uk site. It appears they've given up hope of beating us for real, and will have to settle for a bit of numeric keypad revenge. Meanwhile Dan points out that Sesame Street's Bert may be evil, and WardoG points out this amusing flash animation concering WindowsXP on flash-comedy site Newgrounds. inoshiro has found a all your base animation he reckons is finally worth watching, and Wokket has sent in a whole host of stuff including a site dedicated to Australia's worst cricketers, a how-to on becomming a human guinea pig, a list of weird and offensive foods from yesteryear, and finally news of Vancouver residents being terrorized by bullfrogs.. and I thought the Canadians wouldn't stand for terrorism.
RizeNet has updated their case mod gallery, meanwhile our PCDB is always in a state of change 24/7 with the users doing their own updating :)
TechExtreme has news that AMD will cease production of 486, 586 and K6 series processors ahead of the planned July 2003 date. Comes as a bit of a suprise to me that they where evn still producing them..
In case mod news PCHardware has a guide to giving our case paint a mirror finish, and Icrontic reckon they've found The Next Big Thing in spray painting your PCB's. Hmm, maybe the next big thing in warranty refusals?
Finally today, TechWatch has reviewed some of the Dual Neon Kits you can easily obtain in Australia.
