Tweaknews want you to have a look at the Open Office suit, and have an article aptly titled OpenOffice : The Free Office Software Suite Everyone Should Know About. "Thankfully, computer users can now enjoy the benefits of having free software that is actually far superior and useful to many of the products available for a hefty price in the retail market . For example, the Firefox browser is much more versatile and handy (think extensions) than any other web browser that can be used on any operating system—Windows, Mac, Linux, Solaris and many other esoteric variations. Ditto for OpenOffice."

XYZ computing has an article about why the stats don't matter in regards to next gen consoles. "One of the most interesting areas of discussion has had to do with the technologies inside each of the systems. This is the case because of the large disparities in technology between the Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, and Nintendo Wii. While the gear inside a console certainly has an impact on the playing experience, many writers are putting entirely too much emphasis on these specifications. If other head-to-head system competitions, like the PSP versus the Gameboy DS, have taught us anything, it is that technology is not always a determining factor to gamers."

Bary sends word that the Australian show The Glass House has been axed, possibly under direction of the PM. The last episode of The Glass House will go to air on November 29.
