Well they say no news is good news right... hmm wait that's bad!

Whirlpool have put up a new site listing broadband availability in Australia. It lists both metro and regional areas including a stack of information on each ISP. Good stuff! If only I could get optus here... Thanks bender. Also on the note of new sites, adslusers.com.au was also launched today. Thanks Richard.

SLCentral.com has another update of their CPU/Memory Watch. This week OEM Athlon XP and MP processors come down in price, while a good amount of PIII's go up. In memory, DDR takes a small drop while PC100 goes up.

If you're a case modding fan then you might want to see this cool router used for making awesome looking perspex windows which light up. ** Warning some cartoon nudity **

AnandTech have a very nice NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4400/4600 Roundup. "... We've gathered our IR thermometers and rounded up 11 cards based on the GeForce4 Ti 4400 and GeForce4 Ti 4600 GPUs. If you want the fastest 3D accelerator available today, we'll tell you which one fits the bill."

That recent horrible massacre in Germany has been linked to computer violence. like many others have. "According to Der Spiegel news magazine, Steinhauser spent much of his time playing violent computer video games. His favorite was called "Counterstrike" in which anti-terror units wearing masks battle each other to death." Thanks Cabey.

Vergs has managed to get his P4 1.6A to a nice 2.32Ghz and TweakTown have a new PC Buyers guide up and ready. Apparently Gigabyte's GA-8IRXP isn't the best mobo to choose for overclockers either.

Reaper just got an "invitation" to trial the Telstra Internet phone call system, only it's not a free trial. I don't know about you but a 40¢ flag for first 5 mins and then 12¢ per minute doesn't sound to appealing.

Now for the funnies and this one is a classic. This country's most famous drinking record was set by the legendary Australian Prime Minister Robert (Bob) Hawke in 1955. He drank 2.5 pints of beer in 11 seconds at University College, Oxford. On'ya Hawke! If that wasn't enough, heres a stack of reviews.
