A few people are reporting in this thread that they've seen the Google Maps "street view" vehicle around Australia, so perhaps we'll have our very own privacy concerns soon. ;)

The Australian guy arrested for uploading the Simpsons movie to the internet after recording it in a cinema with his mobile phone has been fined $1000 AUD. His lawyer, Ken Stewart, told the court Duarte had twice tried to upload the film onto the internet after he had seen it on July 26, but thought he had been unsuccessful.

Futurelooks consider how video games can actually make you fitter nowadays. Here are five areas or trends where we have experienced the merging of video games and exercise.

HWSecrets cover nVIDIA's Tesla, their general purpose GPU computing technology. These "video cards" feature GeForce 8800 GPUs but they do not produce video: they are targeted to be used as CPUs, processing programs. In this article we will tell you everything you need to know about Tesla, including a lot of pictures of Tesla solutions.

MadShrimps had fun overclocking a GeForce 8600 GT. In this article we focus on squeezing every extra frame from a Geforce 8600 GT video card, applying volt modifications and extreme cooling to scale the performance to the maximum.

Digit-Life have an article about GeForce G8x performance in modern games. Unfortunately, our plans never got to the first base - G80's hardware performance counters didn't work with some shader units disabled. So we decided not to trash our test results and use them in a brief comparative analysis of performance and some other parameters of modern 3D games.

Bit-Tech have a Penta PC mod. Our hard-rocking modder, Wolverine, is back - this time with a whole new style. He's headed to us with a wall-mounted HTPC that's 1kg of components, 10kg of acrylic and 100kg of awesome detail cuts. So step in and check it out!

The "Colossus" code-breaking machine from WWII will race a modern computer in breaking Nazi codes soon. The finished Colossus is to be pitted against a contemporary general-purpose PC in a code-breaking race. The raw fodder for the race is a set of messages encrypted using Nazi ciphers and transmitted by amateur radio enthusiasts in Germany.

Today's timewaster is from elementalelf, it's a reaction time tester where you avoid being shot in the head. :)
