With YouTube recently helping catch a murder suspect, it's a shame there wasn't any footage of these offences, thanks fwoar.
The recent Australian Federal Court ruling about linking to copyright material has people wondering about the liability of search engines.

Shuttle have a new mini-PC powerhouse called 1337 SDXi. In addition to offering the best performing hardware, Shuttle treats the 1337 SDXi to a new flame paintjob using glossy automotive paint. Liquid-cooling is available for users that select dual ATI X1950 Pro graphics cards in CrossFire as well.
GigaOM have some sneak-peek info about "The Venice Project", which one of the Skype founders is hoping will disrupt the delevision industry by using peer-to-peer technology. I saw some clips with ads embedded in them, and they worked just like plain old television.

Downloads for various platforms here.

They talk like jocks, barking profanity-laced trash talk at one another. They act like jocks, thumping their chests with victory and high-fiving and fist-pounding one another after big wins.
