We mentioned this earlier, but bigteethygrin sent in another link about the mysterious removal of online multiplayer ability from the Australian version of Medal of Honour Heroes 2 for Wii. The EA and Nintendo game pages both state that the game supports online play. The box art on the Australian version, however, does not have the Wi-Fi logo, and is missing a section of text from the description on the back. Thread about it here.
From Ambush: Mobile Firefox will be coming to your Windows Mobile PDA or Smartphone soon after the release of Firefox 3.0 for the PC. Doug Turner, the Firefox Mobile product manager, recently released two more prototype UI (user interface) designs for feedback. In the meantime, the predecessor to Firefox Mobile, Minimo 0.2, is available for download to WM5.0 and WM6 devices. For those living in the past on WM2003SE and prior, Minimo 0.16 can be downloaded here.
NASA have called for suggestions of names for a future telescope, because GLAST sounds a bit boring I guess. "We hope someone will come up with a name that is catchy, easy to say and will help make the satellite and its mission a topic of dinner table and classroom discussion."
This German site (machine-translated to English) has a simple guide to enabling portrait mode on your Samsung SyncMaster 245B LCD monitor. It is not bad language at all if we say that Samsung screwed us - or rather our 24" LCD monitor 245B. It happens quite often that manufacturers use the same parts for their low cost products and their much more expensive offerings. Most of the time some features will be disabled, like Pivot on the 245B. The Samsung 245T uses the same stand but has Pivot, the only difference is a screw (back to our initial pun). And we'll show you how to get rid of it ;).
Shaun noticed some progress in the writer's strike affecting American TV shows. By calling for separate votes on ending the strike and accepting the new three-year deal, the union cleared the way for the entertainment industry to return to work almost immediately.
Adam pointed out the Titan Amanda heatsink with inbuilt 50W peltier, reviewed here, here and here. Great way for people to try out peltier cooling with a small wattage (50watt) peltier.
A global day of protest against Scientology happened yesterday, with demonstrations kicking off in Australia. About 150 people gathered at the Church of Scientology building in the Sydney CBD this morning, most of them carrying picket signs and wearing costumes or masks.
Dan wants to talk about SATA controllers and trayless bays. It's now possible to use 500Gb drives like floppy disks... with a couple of caveats. And I tell another reader the easy way to make monster JBOD volumes.
Speaking of which, a company called BitMicro networks is talking about 1.6TB solid-state drives being available soon. The Altima Ultra320 SCSI model is expected to ship in volume by the third quarter this year, the company spokesman said. "These models are targeted towards military, enterprise, and industrial applications requiring rugged high capacity and high performance," he said.
