The New South Wales Fire Brigade is having an open day and open house this coming Sunday, June 1st. As part of Open Day activities, adults and children of all ages are encouraged to head over to their local fire station and inspect a fire truck, hold a fire hose and learn more about fire safety. The theme for this year's Open Day will focus on home and winter fire safety, with the onset of winter next month, undoubtedly Australia's worst time for house fires. Also, free sausage sizzle! :)
Digit-Life compare dual-core and quad-core. This price border separates more expensive CPUs from popular products in the market.

ExtremeTech have an article about installing solar power in a home, thanks Sniper. The net cost after the California rebate, Federal tax credit, and the Sunpower rebate came in at around $36K (not counting permit fees.) We ended up picking this one - not just because it was the low bid, but because it was the most thorough.
Folken sent in this warning about a Flash vulnerability. The vulnerability research community has been in a mad rush since the reports yesterday of an unpatched vulnerability in Adobe Flash being exploited in the wild. There is still a surprising amount of ambiguity in the situation, but we know a lot more than we did 24 hours ago.
He also pointed out a possible competitor for MS Exchange. PostPath seems to have released a Linux based messaging and collaboration server that is open and compatible with Exchange Server.
