Well I survived another weekend away and I'm here again to bring you yet another grave yard shift edition of the news as promised :)
Cougar mailed in news that Whirlpool shows that there is a new ADSL competitor by the name of Apple Communications, providing a (much) cheaper alternative to Telstra's 3gig plan. Most people are on Telstra 3gig plan, and pay around $90per month, Apple is offering a 3gig adsl plan for $64.
TweakTown have a review of the Coolink H2T HSF. Here's a snip: "With so many folks today wanting less noise out of their heatsink's, it is becoming a growing trend for manufacturers to try to accommodate. Some succeed, and others fail. Come join TweakTown as they take a look at a newcomer in the performance cooling game. The Coolink H2T comes with two fans, but produces less noise than most others that are available. Come see if it can cool as well as remain silent."
There is only 1 week left to win yourself a Geforce3 Ti200 video card from 4peeps. I would love to get my hands on one of those...
Tek Sector have a new review up for you, they take a look at the CoolerMaster CoolDrive 4002. A quick grab : "Hard drives are an essential element in the makeup of a computer system. Without hard drives, life would be a spiraling decent into a world of restrictions, limitations, and confinement. These devices are necessary for survival, and without them we would be utterly doomed, which is why taking up a little bit of insurance on your hard drive is very important, not to mention a good idea."
Hadamona sends word that Ad-aware 5.71 has been released. "Ad-aware is a free multi spyware removal utility that scans your memory, registry, and hard drives for known spyware components and lets you remove them safely." Not a bad program to have around in this day and age.
Jarod sent in a quick mail to say that Quake3 Fortress 2 has been released. (This is a modification for Quake3, not a new game). From a few reports it's supposed to be pretty fun too!
On more serious note, A young football player by the name of Jason Watson has died in hospital after a collision with another player in the U19's game of AFL in Adelaide yesterday. Our thoughts and feelings go out to his family and friends. Thanks to Cryogenic for the link.
Bollocks our folding master, sent in some information about the battle between OCAU and [H]ardOCP in regards to folding@home V2. "We are having an XP Countdown which refers to how many XP processors we need running 24/7 to catch up to the [H] teams output. Information can be found here in this thread or on our dedicated page. Of course if you don't know what folding@home is, have a look at our folding page and join up! It's all for a good cause. Just remember, Team 24 :)
Apparently Intel were the man behind the mask of a white paper released bad mouthing AMD about their performance rating's. A snip: "It has surfaced that a white paper published by Aberdeen Group, trashing AMD for the misleading use of the (P)erformance (R)ating, was financed by Intel... The paper pounded AMD's decision to use PR as "taking a step down a slippery slope of bad science." Hmmm.
Someone has actually managed to create a gameboy advance web server! Running TCP/IP/PPP as well as a web server. Very impressive. Cheers lordbeef
FreeFrag sent a link to a few Unreal Tournament 2003 Screenshots. The up-coming PC game looks very impressive from what i've seen of it so far!
Never to leave you without some form of entertainment, here is Fling The Cow and Kill Frog. Fling the cow being a shockwave game and killfrog has some funny short flash movies. See 'ya!
