Firemoth pointed out these amazing crop circles that have been appearing lately. Regardless of how you feel about their origins, you have to be amazed by the creation of something like this in a single night. The mind boggles.

Digit-Life have a KT266 motherboard roundup.. DDR SocketA, of course.

A few people mentioned this article saying Excite@Home may be going under. Does this affect Optus@Home users in Australia? A quick jump over to our favourite broadband-info site whirlpool.net.au reveals this ZDNet article where Optus say they are not too worried about their future here. While on Whirlpool I noticed that due to the Telstra ADSL problems of the last few months, Primus ADSL will be free of charge for existing users in September. That's me, yay!

Some definitely uncool stuff going on with browser plugins that can hijack visitors away from websites.. more info here.

Aus3D wanna tell you all about TV Tuner cards.

Jeremy sent word that the 1GHz morgan-based Duron has been announced. I remember Andypoo having a minor rant about this a few months ago.. pretty hard for AMD to keep calling it a value chip, a chip for machines that don't need high-performance.. when it's steaming along at a gig. :)

RizeNet have a high-performance heatsink roundup posted.

RobsGT4 notes that the next person to join our SETI@HOME Team will be #300.. while VooDoo sent in some stats for the RC5 Team: Overclockers Australia completed 129,107 blocks yesterday at a sustained rate of 401,121 Kkeys/second! Overclockers Australia is ranked #36 for yesterday! The odds are 1 in 349 that this team will find the key before anyone else does. Cranking! Apparently we have a United Devices Team now too.

Get your weekly dose of the bizarre in the latest issue of ZZZ Online.

There is a HEAP more news to come..
