Well, so far the performance of our new server has been fantastic. Monday night of course is normally very busy, and we'd like to make it even more busy at about 9PM Sydney time tonight, breaking the forum record for online users. So, if you can manage to be in the forums at about that time, you can be part of it. In fact, you can even help by doing things slightly differently if you like. :)
ArsTechnica report on an Australian copyright fees for educational net use proposal. "If it turned out we'd have to pay them, we'd turn the internet off in schools," the council's national copyright director Delia Browne said.
Hubble has produced another amazing image of the Messier 101 galaxy. Eroda sent in a couple of interesting space simulators, Stellarium and Celestia.
If your Hummer just isn't doing it for you anymore, maybe you need a Cougar for those supermarket runs.
Designtechnica have a digital camera buying guide, covering a few things to keep an eye out for.
HDDSaver meanwhile consider external hard drives. I reviewed a quite nice external 3.5" enclosure a few days ago, actually.
NewScientist report on stealth sharks patrolling the seas for the Pentagon. Hmm, I wonder what happened to those commando dolphins that supposedly got let loose during the New Orleans floods.
From Bern: I'm pleased to report that the Australian House Standing Committee on Legal and Constitutional Affairs has presented its *unanimous* report on exceptions to Technological Protection Measures and it is largely good news for open source and bad news for cartels.
TweakTown have some sneak preview pics of a Gigabyte AM2 board.. AM2 being AMD's upcoming new socket, of course.

Snippets from Iroquois: Cool virus worldmap from F-secure. Radeon X1900 XTX under ATI price slash? Ultra-portable LG notebook.
Dan looks at a weird flashlight. I have, of course, not yet answered the big question. That question is: Why the heck does this lamp have LEDs that point sideways?
Hexus have posted their thoughts about FutureMark 3DMark06, the latest in the most popular 3D graphics benchmark family.
From Neevo: Microsoft re-designs the iPod packaging, a short and amusing video of what could happen. The claim on Monkinetic's blog is that it was created for microsofts' internal purposes, but how true that is could be anyones guess. Anyway it's a fun vid.
Digitimes have an interview with AMD, while CRN have an interview with Intel.
From Pete: I haven’t seen this on the front page news portion before but I ran across this looking for the game Blaster Master from Nintendo. This site has old console games you can play online for free. Games from Nintendo, Sega multi-system, Sega Game gear and so on. Heh, 1942 is a fave of mine and very playable on that site.
