If you missed the Q&A TV show last night, you can see the episode here. Meanwhile the classification board's website was hacked at a similar time last night.
We're a little late reporting this, but the home of Wikileaks.de domain owner was raided over the censorship lists, although ACMA say they had nothing to do with it.

Scoobth sent in this Anandtech article on SSDs. The timing couldn’t be more perfect. We’re about to see a new wave of SSDs hit the market and it’s time to separate the fact from the fiction, the benchmarks from reality and the men from the boys. The last time I wrote an article about SSDs I ruffled quite a few feathers. That’s never my aim, but we’ll see what comes of this one.

But does consumer-grade video enhancement software really work, and how much can a GeForce GPU help with rendering performance? On a similar but less detailed note, PCPerspective have some sneak preview info on AMD and Havok's OpenCL physics acceleration.
LegitReviews have been playing with an NVIDIA Ion PC. This system is basically what one will find in a high-end netbook, but has been placed in a sleek and sexy small form factor case that has Home Theater PC (HTPC) or media PC written all over it.
Apparently there's a "reality TV" show out about hardcore gamers, called "WCG Ultimate Gamer". HardCoreWare share their thoughts about it. The idea behind WCG Ultimate Gamer is to find the best “overall” gamer by pitting them against each other in games covering various genres.
