Dan has checked out a mouse for people without hands ... it's an IR camera and a packet of reflective dots that you can affix to stuff, and then it works in a similar fashion to a mouse. Named the trackIR, it'd work alright if you couldn’t use a mouse.. but you probably wouldn’t want to use one otherwise.

Jason notes that VIA has released an add-on for their chipsets to allow the use of 64bit/66MHz PCI cards, moving their motherboard solutions from the budget-server category firmly into Intel's home turf.

Wokket points out that people in Beijing are showing porn to pandas and giving Viagra to tigers. Maybe they should suggest the male panda puts the toilet seat back down and that the female panda wears some sexy undies? He also points out this list of what gestures mean in various countries.. amusing from the Aussie list is When drinking in some Australian pubs, you can signal that you can win a fight with anyone in the bar simply by finishing your drink, turning the glass upside down and placing the glass squarely on the bar. .. I'll have to remember that :)

Over on GamePC they have apparently found a compatibility configuration for nForce boards which allows people to use any type of (non-certified) DDR ram they want at the expense of memory speed, meanwhile Slot-A has a review of the A7N266-E nForce board. Thanks to John for both those links.

Digit-Life have this month's edition of their Hardware Digest up.

Finally, BSOD has some amusing info about 'how to tell if your son is a computer hacker'.
