Time to get my news fix... Well it seems that Telstra aren't too happy with Whirlpool for posting 'leaked' information regarding their new price hikes. I say stick it to 'em Whirlpool but hey, that's just me :) Thanks for that Tristan.

Compaq Australia may have a lawsuit on their hands for displaying laptops on sale for just 1 cent!

There is a preview up of Microsoft's upcoming OS, Longhorn. There is a movie in .MWV and a powerpoint presentation to download and check out. Thanks Keith.

ReplayTV has been ordered to spy on it's users! "A federal magistrate has told the makers of the ReplayTV 4000 digital video recorder to monitor its customers' viewing habits and transmit the information to movie studios and networks that are suing the company." Thanks thor.

Well it seems like a weekly thing these days, there is a new version of winamp out. Version 2.8e. Thanks Adam. Also, Anthrox sent word that the Hitch Hiker's Guide to the Galaxy has been released on DVD.

Stargate SG-1 has been turned into an animated series! All while this is happening the almighty X-box has been hacked. Thanks ecto

Menthu sent word in regarding the Detonator drivers (2.20's) have been out for a while. Also Mathew has sent in a link to fix that Netscape flaw YYK posted earlier.

Well it has to be one of the most anticipated movies coming up, The Matrix is really reloading. That is a great insight into the 2 more parts to the original which made a squillion dollars on its opening weekend. From what I've read it looks to be another great flick.

One of OC-melbourne's clever forum go'ers has created a script which will check your Optus Netstats and relay them to other machines on your network. Very nice. Also if your an avid case modder then you might want to check out this article on adding a Bubble-Plexi light to your case.

If your thinking of upgrading to Windows XP, take a look at this guide which covers this particular installations problems, pro's and con's.

Neowin has his week in review article up. Just an interesting bit drawn from that is the virus writer who made the Melissa virus is getting 20 months in jail, and $5000 fine. Good!

Bollocks our resident Folding@home master has informed us that OCAU has taken back the 'Blue Line' which means we are on the road to taking back the #1 spot in the world for F@H production. We just need a little more help to do it. So if you haven't already, sign up now and fold for both OCAU and the human race.

Instead of a funny game or flash movie today we have 'Dog porn' ad angers pet lovers. Is that really the kind of advertising we need?
