GBH pointed out this article over on the Reg about remote exploits for mobile phones.. apparently all it takes is a broken header to totally freeze a selected few Nokia fones.. of course it's not something everyone can do, but it's still uncool.

Guru3D have updated their Detonator performance database, and if you're in the tweaking mood klif-e reminded me of TweakXP with some handy XP tweak hints. Just avoid the one for the 21.83 dets, it's crashed my system 3 times. I've reversed the changes and everything is fine tho..

Borrowed from TweakXP is this article sent in by dicey ( patience child) on The Reg covering a fix that will give you back 20% of your LAN bandwidth being misplaced by XP.. good thing to have in check before you start downloading all those game patches at the upcoming QGL lan.

VR-Zone have a guide to overclocking the Leadtek 7350KDA, a SiS735-based AMD/DDR board.

Over on Electic is sad news that Hitachi is cutting RAM production as well as staff levels, blaming poor demand and pricing for the cut. Less supply = higher prices = bad = :(

Chris pointed out this guide on hacking your Alcatel Speed Touch Home ADSL modem into a Speed Touch Pro. Telstra and other ADSL ISP's in Aus commonly use this modem, so it'll come in handy for quite a few of you. If you've already got a Pro modem it'll let you find the admin password as well..

Finally, Hogwash points out that a new version of WinAmp (2.78) has been released. Go forth and download!
