Travis noticed this Canon Super Telephoto 1200mm f/5.6L EF Lense, and you can own one yourself for only USD$99,000. At 36lbs, 33" long and 9" wide at the front element, calling this lens a 'tele' is like calling King Kong a monkey.

Velicoma would just like to let you all know about an online radio show for the Australian Counter-Strike Source Community. It's aired live from 7:30pm (AEST) Thursdays, but can be downloaded as a podcast shortly after the show finishes. The hosts interview current players from the Australian CEVO league, event organisors (Gamerthon, Anything Interactive National Cup and the Got Games Nationals), team managers and a host of others. The show is trying to raise awareness of not just CSS but Australian Gaming in general by covering major events such as Gamerthon (March 31st to April 6th in Melbourne). More information, here.

There are three chipsets in this family, which differ only in the number of graphics ports (and PCI-E lanes) and consequently in supported CrossFire modes. All these chipsets support Hyper-Transport 3.0 (backward-compatible with Hyper-Transport 1.0). Maximum bus clock rate has grown from 1000 MHz to 2600 MHz. Thus, its throughput has grown from 6.4 GB/s to 20.8 GB/s.

James also spotted this new "Modu mobile", which is smaller than the current iPod Nano, and only weighs 43 grams, but it appears to be a GPRS (non-3G) unit. The jackets that will come with the Modu look like mobile phones, with standard numeric keypads and other features like cameras. But they lack they lack the antenna and chips that communicate with a wireless network, and this is where the Modu comes in - it pops into a slot, turning the jacket into a fully functional phone.
I just spotted this article on Digg, which covers some pretty cool Google search tricks, number ten being pretty damn cool.
