Interesting thread over on AMDZone's forums, where a power connector has fused itself to the motherboard.

TheEnq have a quite detailed look at an nForce reference motherboard posted.

In what seems to be yet another bizarre IT-related decision by the Australian Government, they recommend employing people overseas because they're cheaper, thanks Boney. Its Indian workers were taken to Australia to see an AFL game and took home copies of the video "The Castle" to help them develop the right accents and understand the customers they would be dealing with over the phone.

Sonic found this interesting analysis of the internet's past and possible future.

Overclockers.de have an (English) guide to unlocking AthlonXP processors, with an interactive settings assistant.

Funny site Acts of Gord has been updated.

Boky notes this info-packed communications reference page with an Australian focus, covering everything from test phone numbers to power-supply symbols.

If you're thinking of trying some different Detonator versions, those being drivers for your nVidia-based video card of course, you might want to check out G3D's Detonator Dbase first.. it has comparative benchmarks etc.

From the oddball news brigade: Dicey found a video of a naughty pengiun, Andrew found the world's wimpiest bankrobber (and here's the stupidest) and Sonic notes Playstations don't mix well with water.

VR-Zone say there are some performance issues with how SiS's 735/745 chipsets deal with 166MHz memory. Apparently it affects the ECS K7S5A we reviewed here a little while ago.

Yaleman says there's a few interesting updates for WinXP available via Windows Update.. including new drivers for AMD CPU's? Odd.

ViperLair want to tell you how to tidy up the inside of your PC.

Soc noticed what seem to be (in German) instructions for turning on bots in RTCW.

Spingo says there's (yet) another virus doing the rounds, info here and here.

FrogBoy sent in this cool shockwave thing.. help a cow make a rock video.. hehe, lots of fun.
