PHEW! BIG news box tonight! Way to go guys.....

Apparently we linked to this site a while ago. A guy set it up to collect hits and prove to his GF that he loves her. So far, he has over 11 million hits...Far out.

Hehe. Got sent this link by HyDrA. Sit there and watch it with the lights off and the sound turned WAY up :)

Lucas Arts "StarFighter" has now finally been ported over to the PC. Is it a solid arcade shooter? Find out here.

The dream of teleporting atoms and molecules - and maybe even larger objects - has become a real possibility for the first time. The advance is thanks to physicists who have suggested a method that in theory could be used to "entangle" absolutely any kind of particle. Thanks Anthrox.

BT Group PLC will appear in a New York federal court on Monday to try to enforce a patent it says covers all hyperlinking. BT claims it invented the hyperlink in 1976, and anyone who uses the World Wide Web owes them money. Thanks again, Anthrox. Bah! Now I owe them money :(

Miniature devices that mimic the motion of a Chinese fan could be used to prevent computer chips overheating, say engineers at Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana.

A new type of low-power battery that does not require a case and is thin enough to be printed on paper will soon be making its debut in shops. The last two courtesy of Anthrox again.

mIRC version 6.01 has been released, with a few bug fixes and what-nots.

Restoring a computer to its original state has often involved reformatting the harddrive and reinstalling program after program. Software "cloning" and backups have for a long time been one of the best aids during such operations,
but now it's getting rivaled by hardware solutions like the "PC Guardian".

Also from Scott, it would appear that Elsa are in a bit of deep cah-cah. Oh no....

Jaren Havell from the US says these pictures, here and here are of a mouse mod he has underway, using optical fibre to light parts of a Microsoft mouse. Most likely would look better in the dark.

That's it from me tonight .... Time for nigh nigh's :)
