Well, I'm back on dialup. My ADSL contract finished and at the new prices there's no way I'm renewing it. Now it feels like one of those dreams where everything is soooo slooooww.....
A few new entries in the PCDB - EJCRUZ has some serious watercooling happening while DrE's sports an eerie green glow. Danzilla's is a tricked-out fulltower and MWP has added a 300mm fan to the top of his dual-motherboard custom case.
AMD is proud to be leading the way in certain aspects of chip fabrication, thanks Sniper.
SLCentral have an editorial about Segway, the scootery wotsit. They also have an article about tablet PC's.. hmm, little PC's you can swallow, that's handy.
Another editorial, this time on DesignTechnia and about what's next for PC's..
Digit-Life have their Monthly Storage Digest for November posted.
Derek notes that AthlonXP.com have preview pics of the Asus A7M266-D, their dual socketA board. I have it on good authority that 2 of the Asus distributors in Oz have samples right now..
Speaking of new interesting stuff, Hexus have a review of the MSI nForce board I checked out a couple of days ago here.
Arachnadactly notes that warez may be being taken more seriously in Oz, more info here on Yahoo.
There are some new 4-in-1 drivers for VIA motherboard chipsets, version 4.36v.
Ken brought up a worrying idea.. the FBI are working on a trojan for logging keystrokes (but only of the Bad Guys, of course).. the anti-virus companies are wondering if they should treat this as a normal virus and put detection code for it in their products. Info here and here.
Mitch mentioned this fan-controlling SpeedFan software.. we've seen it before, not had a try of it myself yet, but it sounds pretty useful.
There's a Sydney LAN happening in Chatswood on the 12th of Jan and OCAU peeps are invited.. only 80 spaces tho, it's going to fill up pretty quick!
Timewasting games: Uplink (blame C_Dawg), Ted Air (blame Vindaloo) and SFCave (blame Spectral).
Oddball stuff: computer-scented perfume (blame Wokket), an everything-proof vest (blame DeezNuts) and a car like no other for sale on eBay (blame Tarrasque).
