Dave wants to remind everyone participating in the 2009 Chimp Challenge to change their Foldinh@Home clients over to the username "Monkey_Bollocks" (and leave team number as 24) this morning sometime.

Meanwhile OCAU Iron Chef April is open for voting. Some great-looking entries, don't read that one with an empty stomach!

FutureLooks have an AMD platform showdown. So the marketing message for Spider ended up being “Performance per watt”. That’s OK if you’re a lightbulb but not when you’re building a top end gaming system or workstation.

Impression spotted this DIY Ariel Atom car project. Instead of trying to find a way to pony up to the $50,000+ for an Ariel Atom, Proximacentauri decided to build his own, dubbed the “Z59” – in his garage, out of spare parts.

Steve sent word that Commodore are making laptops. Yes, Commodore as in C64 and Amiga etc. Commodore is back and better than ever and we've made it our business to provide our customers with cutting edge technology in our new mini Netbooks. Experience the Commodore Evolution! Are you keeping up with the Commodore? :)

iXBT compared a few different configurations in the real world. What typical tasks does a home computer perform, if it's not used for gaming or runs them very seldom? It's usually web surfing, email, and editing documents. But these tasks don't need a high speed computer, any modern system can cope with them.

Over on AusForums they're talking about some advanced prosthetic limbs, thanks JJ. It's a grim thought, but apparently there's a lot of research in this area at the moment due to the number of injuries being sustained in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Check out this cool stealth Skoda. Ms Watson, a second year student, said: "I was experimenting with the whole concept of illusion but needed something a bit more physical to make a real impact."
