From Dink: This website is attempting to fight the DMCA style laws waiting to be introduced in Australia. It is run by Linux Australia.

Tech-Report checked out the new CrossFire Xpress 3200 offerings from Abit and DFI. With some calling DFI the new Abit, we thought it only fitting to pit these two companies' latest Athlon 64 motherboards against each other head to head.

Here's an interesting video of drag cars filmed using a 1000-fps camera, showing how much the tyres distort and other interesting things you can't normally see.

Dewy noticed this Australian girls of IT calendar being organised. "The IT Screen Goddesses Calendar features beautiful photos of real women working in the IT industry, in poses inspired by movie goddesses old and recent," the group says on its website. Strangely the article doesn't link their website, but Google turned it up here.

OCModShop look back at the Radeon experience. So one day I thought, "How fun it would be to compare the Radeons I’ve owned." Well, what started as my own little comparison has become a much larger project, and has turned out to be a very enjoyable blast from the past to look at the roots of our present day Radeons.

On the other side of the GPU fence, Hexus checked out GeForce 7900 GT, 7900 GTX and 7600 GT OC cards from BFG. BFG Tech were gracious enough to provide their OC examples of all three products, two-up for some SLI testing.

TechDomain have a "born again" article about Overclocking the Athlon XP-M CPUs. This article covers my personal experiences of overclocking the AMD Athlon XP-M chip and all of the barriers encountered. While it isn’t a comprehensive guide for beginners, it does cover many important aspects of overclocking.

Getting a little silly now - Moggity spotted this Turbo PC.. with a real turbo. As for the cooling system, an LED case fan just wasn't going to be original enough. Instead, our case fan is a turbocharger commonly found on late 1990's Mitsubishi Eclipses and Eagle Talons.

If you're a member of our hidden Conspiracy Forum, you might be interested in these advanced tinfoil hat designs from Daztay. With your homemade tin foil hat, your brain is safe.

Lexar's Firefly range of USB drives may be unfortunately living up to its name, with a recall issued due to a "potential to overheat". The device, which comes in 256MB, 512MB, 1GB and 2GB flavours, has been removed from store shelves and Lexar is asking any Australians who have purchased the device to "stop using the product immediately and return the product to Lexar head office for a replacement".
