Guinness World Records have apparently certified GTA IV as breaking records in its first day of sales. Fastest-selling video game in 24 hours: Halo 3 at $170 million Fastest-selling theatrical movie in 24 hours: Spider-Man 3 at $60 Million Fastest-selling book in 24 hours: Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows at $220 million. Speaking of which, Moodles spotted that Zero Punctuation have reviewed it.

There's some cool new features in Google Maps.. Wiki and photo integration.

Jimx pointed out this windows copy replacement that lets you queue things up, pause copies, etc. Looks pretty handy.

Joeechick noted that St John Ambulance have a free online crash course in First Aid. This fun, yet useful 'Crash Course' gives you the basic knowledge to 'Do Something' before the ambulance arrives. The course shows you how to recognise an unconscious person, and provide basic first aid such as CPR, bleeding control and recovery position. The duration of the course should take approximately 30 minutes. You can complete the interactive course at your own pace, in your own time or even to review a session where you left off.

Digit-Life explore 8800GT performance scaling in modern games. We decided to find out what parameters affect performance in modern games most of all. Besides, we haven't analyzed how performance is affected by CPU/GPU/video memory clock rates for a long time already. So we decided to test a G92-based graphics card and determine main rendering bottlenecks in modern games.

Meanwhile MadShrimps go on an extreme overclocking adventure with a GeForce 9800 GTX. One area where the 9800 GTX might shine through however is overclocking, the new GPU generates less heat, and with the help of some LN2 it will be interesting to see how high it can climb!
