From IntelInside: Apple will allow third-party applications on the iPhone and iPod touch, Chief
Executive Steve Jobs said in a posting on its website. The company intends to release a software development kit in February. So then you'll be able to invite your iPod owning friends to become pirates and ninjas and zombies, too.

ASUS have launched their much-anticipated "Eee PC". This is a new line of PCs that focuses on providing users with the most comprehensive Internet application based on three Es: Easy to learn, work, play; Excellent Internet experience and Excellent on the go, and hence the product name of Eee PC. More info and discussion in this thread, thanks McbLt.
Dansdata checks out two PSUs from GTR: one cheap without PFC, and one slightly more expensive one with PFC. There's no end to the fun that can be caused by a dodgy power supply, especially in this age of video cards that draw more power than CPUs.
