They include better graphic chips (SiS315) and integrated LAN, Firewire and 5.1 audio. Now how would one of these babies be with a DVD-RW? Thanks to Arthur2Sheds.

McDaddy notes that a hacker famous for hitting such high-profile companies as Yahoo, Microsoft and Excite@Home has done it again. This time, The NY Times network. Seems like he won't be happy until he's teaching his cellmate Bubba, how to retrieve e-mail instead of soap :)
