There's new video drivers from NVIDIA, version 66.93 WHQL, and ATI, version 3.14.6 for Linux.
Laurens spotted something interesting. The Lutec 1000 is the first free energy machine to be developed to commercial stage anywhere in the world. Hmm, whenever I hear the words "free energy" Mr Newton springs to mind, but I guess it's something to keep an eye on. Australian invention, too.
GamePC looked into using a Pentium M, being a mobile CPU, in a desktop PC.
A bazillion people sent word that Firefox 1.0 has been released, with a tweaking guide here thanks Mickyleiu and more info on THG, thanks Wai. AusGamers have a mirror of this alternate web-browser which is growing in popularity.
InsideProject looked at squeezing resources out of your gaming PC.
Dan has more letters.
World of Warcraft has entered free open beta now, thanks Ryan. You can download the client from AusGamers here and here. That's a 2.5GB download in total, and when you're done, there's a 20MB patch, too. (The signup is closed now. And be thankful if you didn't get in, I haven't had a decent night's sleep since WoW took over my life. *uncontrollable sobbing* - Sciby)
Novell have rolled out their Linux Desktop 9 product. Developed with SUSE underpinnings and based on Kernel 2.6, Novell liberally sprinkled its desktop OS with a host of productivity and business-centric apps. Bear in mind it's non-free, however.
Intel had a Developer Forum recently - HWZ have a report on it. Hexus meanwhile cover their latest roadmap updates.
This is one of the best modded PC's evar!!1 Well, it made me laugh, anyway. This one from Apovis2 turned out pretty nice. A BP6 with dual C366's at 734MHz is astounding.. more info here, but more pics would be good.
