Stephen Conroy has been interviewed on JJJ's Hack programme. Broadband policy has emerged as one of the big differences between the two major parties this election campaign. Tzortst spotted a more recent interview here on ARN.
XbitLabs checked out some mainstream cases. Today we will introduce to you four new models, one from each of the following manufacturers: Cooler Master, Foxconn, GMC and Zalman. They also have an AMD 890GX AM3 motherboard roundup. The collective image of an AMD 890GX-based motherboard is quite attractive. It's a mid-end feature-rich full-size ATX model with two graphics slots, SATA 6Gbps support and an optional but nevertheless provided USB 3.0 controller.
A decidedly non-mainstream case is this impressive PC mod over on Biertijd. No real info but lots of photos.
GamePron report on staff cuts at an Australian games studio. It is a sad day for the Australian games industry, with stories filtering through that Krome Studios have closed down their Adelaide office and their Melbourne and Brisbane studios have been heavily cut.
LegitReviews have some Lost Planet 2 benchmarking using a Radeon HD 5850 vs GeForce GTX 460 1GB. LegionHW have a GPU Performance Preview in the same game.

Funkykit compared 15 power supplies. What you really need, is professional equipment that can test a range of scenarios and record maximum load, average load, maximum Amps and various voltage readings. Becasue of this, power supply testing equipment, such as ones from Chroma, can be hugely expensive ... And this is the whole reason why our Funky Kit team was invited, to visit the testing labs at Coolermaster's office. Hrm.
Jimmy sent in two interesting things, a map of internet backbones and a satellite tracker from NASA. We hope you enjoy J-Track 3-D. It should appear in its own window and begin loading a database of over 900 satellites.
