Yup, bit of a social weekend for all I think.. Well what I can remember of it... So I'll make up for it with a nice large post :)
This is just a rumour, so take it with a grain of salt.. but they couldn't could they?! ... would they? Are Telstra going to really raise prices AGAIN? "All plans will be affected, with prices rising by at least $10 per month. The 3GB residential plan is likely to be hardest hit, with the possibility of a rise in the order of $25 per month." Hmm that would take my monthly bill to a nice and affordable $123
Intel are set to announce a new set of P4's and chipset's! 'The chipmaker will announce three new Pentium 4 chips for desktop PCs, along with a new version of its 850 chipset. The new chipset offers a faster 533MHz bus and supports a speedier version of Rambus memory, 1066MHz RDRAM, sources said."
Who ever thought your wonderful little windows key was useless. With "WinKey" you can assign specific tasks to normal windows shortcuts. Cheers klif-e
Be, the failed maker of a computer operating system once considered a rival to Microsoft's Windows, said on Monday it would dissolve itself on March 15 and de-list from the Nasdaq stock market."
Dan has another I/O colum posted. This one including "invisible drives, overheated processors, mysterious crashes, miserable disk performance, data loss, Internet account cancellation, and Satan." Sounds like an interesting read hehe.
There is another write-up on the ever present war between AMD and Intel which discusses a few of the pro's and con's about each CPU.
How about a personal computer that is "a billion times faster than a PIII". It could well be possible with the use of Atomic PC's.
PersianImmortal sends word that the latest 29.11 Beta Dets are available. A few reports suggest they offer a slight improvement over the 28.90s.
3D Velocity has kicked off another big giveaway. The winner will pick up a Logitech Z-560 speaker system, second place is a Logitech Z-540 system and the third place is an exclusive NVIDIA micro-scooter. As usual I'm not sure about the international scene but you gotta be in it to win it right? On that note there is another competition here to win some RatPadz.
If you didn't see it on the news the other night, the dawn of the 'ratbot' is upon us. No not the aim bot for quake 2, these are roboticly guided living rats. Freaky... I wonder if they can carry a beer...Thanks Vespamad
Mat let us know that the FREE Office Suite has been released. "OpenOffice, the open source (free) office suite for Windows, Linux and Solaris platforms." Also that link is to Game Arena's mirror for all those poor telstra people like me.
So how many of you out there have purchased a Sony playtation 2? Well guess what, Playstation 3 is in the plans. Thanks Alx.
If there aren't enough movies coming out to meet your need's you can always check out the upcoming Scooby Doo movie! Cheers Aek.
Justin who was the maker of that briefcase PC we linked a while back has gone and created another one! Not a bad little unit!
Want a free Mag Light? Fill out a McAfee survey and it's yours while supplies last! Thanks Freaek
Ok here's another couple of time wasting games for you all. This one is an advanced version of that worm game except in this one you control a helicopter. Oh and if you listen to the sounds I swear thats the sounds from the old Missile Command game from the Atari's! Or if that's a little to hard try the sheep game!
