Right! Got the news stuff sorted out. Many thanks to Jason at AusGamers for his help and hard work during this difficult period.
I'm going away for a few days in about an hour, but hopefully some of the other newsmonkeys will take a break from the festivities to post some news during that time. If not, no big deal, you should be stuffing yourself with food and spending time with your family (or just playing with your new toys) anyway!
Reaper noticed an article claiming that VIA Chipsets slow down PCI access. They claim this is an issue when you start using heavy-usage PCI devices like ATA-133 controllers.
That timewasting pong game has reappeared, thanks Groomy. Wokket sent virtual bubblewrap for the truly bored.
Brett spotted this watercooled SK6 copper heatsink, interesting idea but unfortunately no results yet.
Kazashi notes that the full Quake 2 Source Code has been made publically available, great news for budding game developers.
The Northwood 2GHz P4 Xeon chip, manufacturered on a .13 micron process, has appeared in Japan.. so has the non-Xeon part, it seems.
PlanetSavage have a 3-way socket cooler shootout.
On the more bizarre side of things, a weird new squid has been spotted in the watery depths, thanks Ungrateful Ninja. Apparently the US Military and NASA are tracking Santa Claus this year - this might actually be a cool site to keep an eye on if you have kids. :) Rik says the Matrix 2 filming currently going on in Sydney might involve blowing up a landmark. Firemoth sent in this funny article about Star Wars and Lord of the Rings combining in a way that George Lucas won't be too happy about.
