OCAU member mazzanet wrote a simple but fun timewaster a few years ago and it's suddenly become popular - popular enough to overwhelm his webhosting! So we've mirrored it on OCAU - you can play it here. Spin the ball! Click the ball! Whee! Yes, that's all there is to it. :)
Loop Goose spotted an Australian competition from WD. In 25 words or less, we want you to tell us what colour WD Hard Drive you are and why? Each month we’ll determine the most creative and insightful entry and the author of that entry will receive a fantastic prize! On top of that, the 1st 200 entries submitted will receive a Rubik’s cube for simply letting us know what colour WD Hard Drive they are and why!

Katilyst sent word about Portal Prelude, an unofficial prelude to Valve's Portal. Demo video here. This game is totally free and set to be released somewhere around the end of september 2008. It offers a bit more gameplay hours than the original Portal, with 8 chapters, 48 challenges, 6 advanced maps, a brand new storyline and more than 400 lines of speech with english and french subtitles.

Bjorn3D checked out the AMD Fusion utility. So what is this little utility for? The aim for the utility is not really the enthusiast users who have their computers fine-tuned and optimized, even though as we will see it still has something to offer for them to. Instead the utility is aimed to the rest of us who use our computers for all sort of stuff and thus tend to have quite bloated installations of Windows.
The Large Hadron Collider has hit a snag which might delay its operation. While the failure was "not good news", he said glitches of this kind were not unexpected during testing.
