A couple of OCAU users have helped to organise the Childs Play charity fundraiser, information thread can be found here!

Remember the Optimus Keyboard?. Apparently they will be accepting pre orders on December the 12th.

Over at NordicHardware somebody has done some extreme overclocking on the 8800GTX.As the first person he has managed to push the card over 900MHz GPU, from 575MHz at stock, while the memory was running at 1240MHz up from 900MHz. That GDDR3 would be an disadvantage has proven to be somewhat of an overstatement.

Over on this site there are some Photos of all number of things. Speaking of cool photos, there is a lot of good shots happening in our own Photography Forum.

From Zulu: Apparently the Zune is currently not supported by Windows Vista. "This operating system is currently not supported by Zune," reads an error message when trying to install Zune software on the latest versions of Microsoft's own Windows Vista operating system.

From Hasse: In regards to a previous link about TMS Solid State Hard Disks, apparently Eve Online a MMORPG is has upgraded its server farm to use this new technology. Eve Online is a mmorpg with one cluster serving the entire world hitting 30k simultanous players every week and growing. They just upgraded their cluster to 168 64bit nodes with 2 64Gigabyte RamSan.

Techcrunch has an interesting article about the future of DRM and the possibility of developing a Music Tax. Jenner wants the government to step in and save big labels. He’s calling for a mandatory monthly tax in the European Union on broadband Internet and mobile phones of around €4/month that allows consumers to download and consume all the music they want without DRM. Payments will be made to rights holders according to popularity of music - if a song is very popular, it will get a higher percentage of total fees collected.

This site has some interesting pictures of a mouse made out of stone.

Toms Hardware has an interesting article about the plausibility of wireless power. Forgetting to recharge that cellphone at night or forgetting the power cable for your notebook or iPod on a business trip are annoyances we have learned to live with. But it appears that researchers from the Department of Physics and Research Laboratory of Electronics at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have found a way to recharge mobile devices wirelessly.

Apparently the PS3 is failing to live up to expectations. With Overheating, bad HD upscaling, riots, and lack of stock.
