Some more IDF snippets: Day 2 on HotHardware, and Clarkdale performance and Light Peak etc on HWZone, Clarkdale performance and Show Floor Tech on LegitReviews, Westmere and Clarkdale on PCPerspective.

Reax spotted an article on the Herald Sun about Left 4 Dead 2 being banned. Not much more info there, but interestingly, a little poll where readers can vote for whether or not R18+ games should be allowed. Unsurprisingly, it's currently 92.59% in favour of allowing them. But Victorian Attorney-General Rob Hulls says he believes Australia is now "out of step" with the world. "It seems inconsistent that in Australia adults are allowed to view adult-only films which have been classified R18+ by the Classification Board, but not computer games with equivalent high-level content," he said. Games.on.net have their response in comic form, thanks Bennett.

From Bradley: I want to recruit you to my lending team, Overclockers Australia, on Kiva, a non-profit website that allows you to lend as little as $25 to a specific low-income entrepreneur across the globe. You choose who to lend to - whether a baker in Afghanistan, a goat herder in Uganda, a farmer in Peru, a restaurateur in Cambodia, or a tailor in Iraq - and as they repay the loan, you get your money back. Sounds interesting, more info here.

BenchmarkReviews compared a few professional keyboards. But if you're a serious typist - a professional who thinks that a keyboard's primary duty is to enable fast and accurate typing, and not to glow prettily or adjust your speaker volume or display the number of missiles left in your launcher, then you might be interested in a professional mechanical keyboard. Benchmark Reviews looks at a wide selection of available high quality keyboards to see which might be the best for you.

Domain registrar Bottle Domains has been chastised by the Victorian Supreme Court for lax security of customer info. AuDA said Bottle's failure to notify it at the time of the earlier incidents breached its obligations and was grounds for termination of its registrar agreement, which would mean Bottle would no longer be able to sell domain names or continue trading as a domain name registrar.
