On the legal side of things, VIA has beaten Intel and the state of Conneticut won't agree to the Microsoft antitrust settlement because it's too vague.

Icrontic have a thread about getting into the XBOX's HDD.. seems to be password-protected by default. YYK spotted this article about Linux software that apparently will let XBOX owners play certain games over the net.

There's an article about DVD video and Linux over on SourceMagazine.

TomsHardware have a roundup of KT266A and nForce motherboards, DDR goodness for your SocketA CPU.

Interesting XP Admin Pack that lets you manage Win2K servers from XP Pro machines.

Dan has checked out some chipset coolers.. we had a similar comparison a while ago here.

Digit-Life have a roundup of 16X DVD-ROM drives.

Excite@Home in the USA could stop providing cable service from 30th Nov (a couple of days away) thanks F1DarkFlash, but AT&T may come to the rescue of their customers.

Interesting article about DVD-recording PC's on CNet, lots of info there, thanks talking_goat.

There's some more Beta Detonator drivers for your nVidia video cards under Win2K/XP available from 3DChipset.com. I don't think anyone's pretending these are leaked anymore, but they are beta, so Bad Things may happen.

Apparently Fair Trading is looking into mobile phones with dodgy screens due to the number of complaints.

OCdCafe wonder how much PC is enough? Hey, who're you calling an average user?! :)

Redback spotted another time-sucking flash game called Reflections. This one involves problem-solving with lasers, prisms and mirrors etc.

Registration for the next QGL LAN is open.. should be 500 people there apparently.

There might be some new faster HDD's on the way (well, of course there are, but this is a new agreement towards that goal), thanks YYK.

Digit-Life have an article on Realtime Ray-Tracing and how SSE optimizations improve things.

Talking_Goat noticed this article hinting at new nVidia products, NV17 and NV25. AnandTech take the hinting a step further with their more detailed information about NV17.

Reviews:
Purple Anodised CPU Shim on XtremeMods.
Belkin networking bits on AwareMag.
Abit Siluro GF3 video card on PCHardware.
