OCAU's Folding@Home team is on track to produce more points than any other team today. For the first time since August 2006, OCAU's very own members both in Australia, New Zealand and scattered around the globe may just have the biggest points total for the day. Also the new Nvidia GPU client has been leaked, and we are making the most of this early release, while the other teams seem oblivious. So get that Nvidia card folding!! Remember, OCAU is Team 24!

TweakTown decided to put three newly released GeForce GTX 280’s in SLI, to see how well they scale and perform. So we’re back in the bunker for the last night of GTX 280 palooza, and I have to honestly say that it couldn’t come any sooner. No doubt that we’ve left the best till last with our 4GHz clocked system and three GTX 280 cards.

Benchmark Reviews have compiled a Nvidia GPU Computing & CUDA FAQ. Benchmark Reviews offers this FAQ to help our readers understand what is happening within our world of technology, and help introduce them to what is coming as the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 280 video card is launched

InfoWorld compiled a list of colossally stupid mistakes made by IT admins. Of course, not all computer users live to cause mayhem, sowing the seeds of destruction in our metaverse. In fact, sometimes the worst offenses spring from our own ranks, hatched by individuals whose stated mission is to help technology work better: the IT admin.

Valve have released the latest addition to their series of meet the Team Fortress 2 characters trailers; Meet the Sniper. The remaining three classes--Pyro, Medic, Spy--are expected to receive their long-awaited and undoubtedly humorous introductions in due time. You can watch the video on AusGamers.

After 15 years of development, Wine version 1.0 has been released. Wine is an Open Source implementation of the Windows API on top of X, OpenGL, and Unix.
