So Uni exams are finished. Might be able to update the news a little more.

Scientists have found a painkiller in human saliva that is 6 times more powerful than present day morphine. Remember to swallow when you break your leg. Speaking of breaking things, Casemodder SleepStreamer has a cool Cold Fusion design he just completed.
For all those who cant wait to have a HD-DVD drive in your computer, the drive in your mates Xbox 360 apparently works like a charm. Speaking of consoles, Fosfot gadgets has a demonstration of the PS3 and the Nintendo Wii
In other IT news, those crazy Americans have managed to pump data at 100gbps over 4,000km, and Infoworld looks at the four biggest IT disasters in recent history.
In political news, a German based civil rights group has filed war crimes charges against outgoing Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld for the alleged abuse of detainees at Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo prisons. Speaking of political comedy, apparently George Bush used to be a good public speaker - maybe the president isn't the president? .. or maybe he just has a new script writer? .. or maybe he got turned into a bushbot?
For those photographers who are still using the string around the shoe tripod, it might be worthwhile investing in one of these new claw clingy go anywhere tripods. Looks quite nifty.
