Hmm, I'm thinking there's a new virus out there. In the news mailbox are 6 emails from 6 different people, all blank but have a 40kb .WAV file attached to them. No, I'm not going to play it even though .WAV files aren't executable and hence shouldn't be able to carry virii. Still, it's as good an excuse as any to update your virus software yet again.. Update: Firemoth thinks it's this virus.

We recently had a new club launched in the forums. The OCAU Extreme Cooling Club serves to showcase the extreme cooled systems of OCAU'ers and to provide a useful knowledgebase on extreme cooling within OCAU and the Extreme Cooling Forum. All details including how to join can be found here. I notice some Club member entries already listed in the PCDB - like mred32's fridge-assisted PC and Sabien's watercooled machine. Nobes isn't listed as a Club member yet but will be soon I imagine. :)

Digit-Life have a roundup of Radeon 8500 and 7500 video cards.

G3D have some info about Abit @ Comdex.

GBH has posted links to his 2002 Motorsport Calendar in our Motoring forum.

Part two of Wired's Star Trek Tech article is posted.

From Peter: Wandering through my local Bunnings over the weekend, I came across the whole stack of Dremels on special (at $199) and then thought what would the wife do if she knew I'd bought one. A few step further on & I come across the Black & Decker equivalent (as reviewed on OCAU) at the ridiculously
cheap price of $69.


YYK noticed an article about more DDoS programs that people may unwittingly be using.

Icrontic have posted part 2 of their modifying the XBOX article.

From Matex: Yesterday EzyWin was posted on the news. I've been in coontact with the creater of EzyWin, Robert Saye, and he told me that since yesterday, EzyWin has been updated to enhance support for Windows 2000, and Version 3 has just been released. He also said (because of popular demand) that a WindowsXP version SHOULD be released by Christmas. Version 4 will have unlimited length of characters in various prompts he also told me.

Mace noticed Realmagic are putting a MPEG 4 decoder chip onto a board similar to the Hollywood+ we reviewed ages ago here.

Your weekly dose of the bizarre on ZZZ Online.

I was actually going to post this news update last night, but my ISP fell over. More news in a little while!
