PCStats has an article explaining Windows XP safe mode. "In this article, PCstats will explain how Windows XP's various 'Safe Modes' work, how you access them and how they can help you troubleshoot various software and operating system issues. Now, isn't this a handy topic!? Safe Mode has been a component of the Windows operating system since the days of Windows 95. The basic idea is to allow the user (or technical support worker) access to the windows interface without loading any unnecessary drivers or software."

Hexus has posted a video of gameplay from the upcoming game Crysis. Looks pretty.

According to Engadget two German states have drafted legislation which would "subject developers, distributors and players of video games whose goal is to inflict 'cruel violence on humans or human-looking characters' to a fine and a maximum of one year in jail.".

You may have seen some coverage posted on the Bigfoot Killer NIC, well HardOCP has posted a review benchmarking it. "From the first moment that Bigfoot Network's Killer NIC got any attention on the Net, it has been controversial at the very least. The Killer NIC was first brought to my attention by the PR guys at Porter Novelli's office in Austin, TX. They gave us the low down about what it was supposed to do and it certainly generated interest from me. In fact, later that day, we even mentioned it to Michael Dell when discussing what a company like Dell could do with specialized gaming servers."

DigitalFAQ takes a look at blank DVD media and what is the best to buy. " Not all media is good. In fact, with the high influx of cheap media from Taiwan, China and Hong Kong, I'd venture to say most media is bad. This review guide is meant to shed some light on who manufactures and brands good and not so good quality DVD media."

Todays timewaster is from HardwareSecrets who have added a fun little computer quiz to their site to test your knowledge of computer related topics.
