NASA on Monday will broadcast the Beatles' song "Across the Universe" across the galaxy to Polaris, the North Star. Full read here.

BFM links us more information about the whole Pakistani/Youtube issue. A Pakistani blogger yesterday accused Pakistan's President Musharraf and his cronies of banning YouTube in order to suppress criticism and evidence of vote rigging in the country's recent election.

From this article over on ARSTechnica: The towers and offices of mobile phone operators in Afghanistan are being pressured to shut down operations at night by the Taliban. The former rulers of Afghanistan and current insurgent group held "talks" with the four major mobile companies in Afghanistan today, and gave them three days to go dark for 14 hours per day — or else. Thanks for sending that in Craig.

Google is partnering with 5 other companies to build a new high-bandwidth subsea cable system linking the US and Japan. The cable system is known as "Unity". Full info here. Thanks mpot!

There's an interesting read here on Cnet about the possible $2bn Take-Two (GTA publisher) takeover by EA.

Also from AirQ: The industry is just one multi-million-dollar corporate data breach away from waking up to the serious and often-silent threat of corrupted DNS resolution servers, says DNS inventor Paul Mockapetris. Full article here on Dark Reading.

Tech ARP have a Mobile GPU Comparison Guide posted. These days, there are so many mobile GPU models that it has become quite impossible to keep up with the different configurations. Therefore, we decided to compile this guide to provide an easy reference for those who are interested in comparing the specifications of the various mobile GPUs in the market as well as those already obsolescent or obsolete.

And finally, according to this article sent in by AirQ, monkeys pay for sex. :)
