Craig has sent in his usual selection of interesting IT related news. Seems Telstra is suing the government over their regional and rural broadband program. Also on the chopping block is Sony who are being sued regarding the cell processor used in the PS3. Next, the Microsoft HD Photo format is being considered for standardisation. And it looks as though the latest release of Red Hat has been delayed. Thanks again Craig!

Lots of gamers are hanging out for the release of Crysis. Some information about it from You Gamers: As previously reported from their conference call, EA announced that Crysis will be available "early November" - however, we can now confirm that the actual date will be the 16th of November! You might also be wondering what status the game is at and what machine you'll need for it. Click here for more info.

HardwareZone have posted their coverage of the Sony VAIO CR / TZ Series Notebook launch. Commemerating the VAIO's 10th anniversary, Sony launched two new series and in style at VivoCity's NAFNAF. To add on to the festivities, the launch was hosted by Stephanie Carrington, a familiar face on AXN's Sony Style show.

XBitLabs have posted up their version of a newbie overclocking guide, We often get a lot of questions about CPU overclocking techniques and tools. So, how do we overclock processors? Hopefully our new article will answer most of your questions. Of course there is always a bucket load of information, and experts willing to help you on your overclocking journeys in our own Forums.

If you're bored of the look of the off-the-shelf USB thumbstick, perhaps thetechlounge's latest modding effort will give you some inspiration to customise your own. If that didn't amuse you, check out HardwareLogic's article on having a clean desktop. Hands up who else has a 'CLEANUP' folder on their desktop?

Finally, the TechReport have had a look at AMD's updated 690G Chipset. AMD launched its 690G chipset back in February, and five months later, they're back with an update. Sort of. The chipset hardware hasn't changed, but AMD has been fiddling with BIOSes and drivers to give the second wave of 690G-based motherboards that's hitting the market a little extra punch.

Back to work i guess :(
