I just got an obviously fake email titled "Australian Tax Office - Please Read This" wanting me to enter my details on some random website. Stupid scammers.

Gary_J spotted these cool photos of bugs that do the cross-your-eyes stereogram thing (or just give you a headache).

Scientists have blown up a star.. well, simulated it. The simulation confirmed what the team already suspected from previous tests: The stars detonate in a supersonic process resembling diesel-engine combustion. Not impressed? How about creating a universe, then? It would be an extraordinary achievement, of course, but what happens then? It's one thing to create a universe, but quite another to know where to keep it. Thanks Jimx.

VR-Zone have a pic of a watercooled R600 video card. This cooling solution is probably provided by Aavid Thermalloy and coincidentally Aavid is touting their Turbo Tube cold plates with mass production in May, same time as R600 launch.

Simon Szykman, chief information officer at NIST, was slightly irked by some of the media reports on his agency's move, which painted the ban as a major slap in Microsoft's face. In fact, Szykman said, this is business as usual.

Matt sent in today's timewaster, called BowMaster Prelude. Shoot approaching baddies with your bow.
