OCAU's Folding@Home Team recently passed one billion points. Congrats to them and if you want to join us, check out this page or the Team OCAU forum.

I've dusted off my PS3 to download the new 2.50 firmware which came out recently. Still no native support for Windows shares as far as I can tell, which is the main thing I'd like to see.

Bit-Tech have a Battlestar Galactica case mod. Working around a Cooler Master Stacker case, he's just put together a Battlestar Galactica mod that has incredible attention to detail, and uses a vast variety of techniques in its fabrication. Hrm, that reminds me of something..

Chris spotted this 100% passively-cooled machine. I have wanted to build a fully passively cooled computer case since I had my first Athlon Thunderbird 800 MHz. That time the fan noise was amazingly high, and manufacturers didnīt much care about the noise levels, and didn't offer products for building a quiet PC. Nowadays a quiet PC is not much of a challenge to build, but totally silent? It would require that there were no moving parts at all.

There's some new MacBooks out. TechReport have their thoughts and there's plenty more info and discussion here in our Apple forum.

BFM found a rabbit at work. As you do. Anyway, he's wanting suggestions for naming it. Sometimes the forums scare me. :)

Telstra have cut the National Broadband Network estimate to $15Bn, thanks CD. Mr Quilty warned that the $15 billion was likely to balloon unless the Australian dollar regained some of its falling value, but he declined to revise his boss's latest network price tag.
