HWZoom have coverage of the grand final of the World Cyber Games, and more here. TTZ have results and info from there too. Bit-Tech meanwhile previewed the Dreamhack LAN in Sweden, checking out some modded PC's.

From Torr: This is a couple months old however I stumbled uppon this at Cowon's (or IAudio as it's known brandwise) site. It's a movie and video player that natively supports divx, flac, and a host of other codecs.

HardCoreWare compared a couple of 100GB laptop drives from Hitachi and Seagate.

HWSecrets look back at the various P4 models, from S423 through S478 and the current LGA775 socket.

Nick spotted this article about future control of the internet. While the U.S. interprets the agreement to give it continued control over the Internet's core components, including its addressing systems, the E.U. reads it to open the door for Internet oversight to be shared by governments of the world.

Tis the season of "gift guide" articles.. new ones on TheTechZone (and here), ThinkComputers, XYZComputing and WindowsAtoZ.

LegitReviews compared seven sticks of DDR2-800 memory from A-DATA, Corsair, Crucial, Kingston, Mushkin, OCZ and SyncMAX.

Gideontech build a light box for taking product photos etc.. hmm, not a bad idea. A slightly larger project is a change-management lab from GeekExtreme.

CaseModGod cover metal leafing. Having parts dipped and plated, like chroming, can be very pricey. So what do you do? A technique called Leafing, which is a process of applying a real metal onto wood, metal, or plastic.

From allabouttrust: In short, Google's launched "Google Base," which is designed to rival eBay and craiglist.

An interesting link from AB: a free PDF copy of "God's Debris", a book by Scott Adams of Dilbert fame, but on a very different topic. Imagine that you meet a very old man who - you eventually realize - knows literally everything. Imagine that he explains for you the great mysteries of life - quantum physics, evolution, God, gravity, light, psychic phenomenon, and probability - in a way so simple, so novel, and so compelling that it all fits together and makes perfect sense. I've made a mirror of the file here on our server.
