Firstly, here we have someone who has converted his old CRT monitor into a fishtank. Talk about a great screen saver! I've been wanting to do this build for a while now. Just about every time I see and old CRT computer monitor by the side of the road on trash day I think to myself ...that would sure make a cool looking fish tank. So here is my first attempt at turning and old computer monitor into a fish tank.
Here we have yet another interesting article about a USB fan which has been placed on a clip on tie. Ain't nothing classier than a clip-on tie...except one with a built-in USB-powered fan in the knot. We're not certain how this thing keep you cool, or why you wouldn't just use any of the million other USB-powered fans that don't increase your dork factor by 1000, but the people in the photos look so blissfully content we're actually a little curious.

Therefore, we decided to compile this guide to provide an easy reference for those who are interested in comparing the specifications of the various desktop CPUs in the market, as well as those already obsolescent or obsolete. Currently covering 590 desktop CPUs, this comprehensive comparison will allow you to easily compare up to 18 different specifications for each and every CPU.
Xbitlabs have an article on a claim that Intel's 45nm chips will be up to two times faster then the current processors. Even though the transition to improved Intel Core 2 micro-architecture with the new chips due to be available late this year is not typically considered as substantial for Intel Corp., a web-site, which managed to test an engineering sample of the chip reported up to 115% performance gains for the new products from the world’s largest chipmaker compared to current offerings.
AMD has taken out yet another loan. Advanced Micro Devices today said it would sell another 5.75% of convertible senior notes for about $1.5 billion to refinance a loan it took to acquire ATI Technologies last year. AMD already took a loan using the same method earlier this year to finance its operations.
Lastly, TheWedgie has sent in a timewaster called 'Bloxorz'.
