I just noticed the Federal Government is accepting submissions about something that might interest people. The Government is reviewing the operation of two new copyright exceptions that permit ‘format shifting’. These exceptions are sections 47J and 110AA of the Copyright Act 1968 which permit photographs and cinematograph films to be reproduced in a different format for private use, subject to certain conditions.
Plane nuts will enjoy this panoramic view of an A380 cockpit. Your mouse scrollwheel zooms in and out, too. Mmm, knobs.
More camera news, with a D60 from Nikon. It's a 10.2MP digital camera that will look and feel remarkably familiar to users of the D40X. It includes an anti-dust system that incorporates a self-cleaning sensor unit that shakes off dust, coupled with an airflow system designed to channel dust away from the sensor. Discussion thread here.

NordicHW look at Intel's Penryn architecture in some detail. You can check out our quite detailed review from last year here, too.
Craig sent in this guide to making a roll-up keyboard on the cheap. Have you ever wanted one of those pricy roll up keyboard but didn't want to spend the money? Here is a quick and dirty way to make your own.

From Sean: The 780G chipset has been released in a few boards in China, including this one from Foxconn. There has already been some massive overclocking done on another brand. And some discussion on Toms hardware. This chipset is perfect for a HTPC, as it includes a 2400Pro IGP with UVD for decoding HD video streams.
YouGamers interview Gautam, who they say is one of the Kings of the Overclockers. Meanwhile VIA's Glenn Henry spoke to HotHardware about their new Isaiah processor.
From Ambush, about a new browser test: Unlike the first acid test, which focused on the box model, and the second acid test, which covered a broad variety of basic HTML and CSS features, Acid3 covers 100 of the nooks and crannies of HTTP, HTML, CSS, ECMAScript, SVG and XML, all through the medium of DOM scripting, a critical requirement for any modern web application.
