Of course the main news shock of the last couple of days was the surprise death of Australian actor Heath Ledger. I'm not up to date with the latest about it, but there's a huge thread here in our current Events forum.
DriverHeaven looked at some 8800GT and GTS video cards from XFX, Zotac and Gainward. CircuitRemix meanwhile compared the Antec EarthWatts and Seasonic M12II 500W PSUs.
A large pirate DVD setup in Melbourne has been smashed recently. The raids busted Australia's largest pirate DVD syndicate, with 170 DVD burners and more than 400,000 pirated discs allegedly seized, said operations director Neil Gane from the Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft (AFACT). Discussion thread here.
Mpot spotted this interesting artwork involving spam email. "Spamtrap" is an interactive installation piece that prints, shreds and blacklists spam email.
XbitLabs have been playing with the Phenom 9600 Black Edition CPU and DFI LANParty UT 790FX-M2R motherboard. Although quad-core Phenom processors cannot boast super high performance, AMD still has a bunch of fans sticking by. Our today’s article is written specifically for these guys. We are going to discuss one of today’s overclocker platforms and Phenom fine tuning techniques.
NeoSeeker checked out how the Core 2 Duo scales in recent games. What's a reasonable amount of processing power to feed that shiny new graphics card you decided upon? The aim of this article is to help you out with this question.
Canon have, as expected, announced their 450D (Rebel XSi) DSLR recently. More info here on dpreview. It won't be available until April, which makes me slightly less depressed about having recently bought a 400D. :) As expected there's a big thread about it here in our Photography forum.
Justin sent in this article about the past and future of the music industry. The record industry is careering towards meltdown. A good thing too, says Simon Napier-Bell, after 40 years of working with its most notorious moguls.
Today's timewaster is Cannon Challenge, supposedly some kind of "future weapon" but looks like a good old artillery game to me. Still fun tho. :)
