A paralysed Japanese man aims to climb a mountain using robotic legs soon. Hmm, the headlines are a little deceptive, he will be carried by an able-bodied climber, and the robotic legs help THAT climber to bear the extra weight. But still, robotic legs, what's not to like? Pics of them in action here, thanks MacGillaZ.
Microsoft have made their Virtual Server R2 product free. Microsoft also released add-ins to allow current and past enterprise and standard versions of both Red Hat Linux and Novell's SUSE Linux to run on top of Virtual Server as guest operating systems. The company will also offer 24-hour technical support for Linux applications and guest operating systems running on Virtual Server.

Speaking of creepy, here's a Blair Witch Mod, where a PC is inserted into a human body cast.. thanks Johnny_Utah.

Dan has yet more letters. Huge cheap monitors (with a catch), fraudulent memory cards, another storage hopeful, the Ad of Doom, and plutonium cymbals.
