Think Secret has an article on an upcoming low power G5 processor: the 970GX. The author also speculates that a revised model could come out at MWSF. Here's hoping!

According to the SMH, a Muslim school was set ablaze in Holland, most likely in response to the murder of Theo van Gogh (a filmmaker) by a suspected islamic militant. The article also mentions that "at least eight mosques have suffered arson attacks since van Gogh, who criticised Islam in his films, was shot and stabbed as he cycled to work last Tuesday."
I find it astounding that because some filmmaker was killed by a "suspected" Islamic militant, some degenerates think that all Islamic people are bad, and that it is therefore OK to go and set their Mosques on fire, as well as a Muslim school, possibly endangering the lives of many people (although the article does not mention when the arson occurred).
Of course, it appears that some people retaliated to the attacks on the mosques by damaging churches, so neither party is free of responsibility.
Some people need to grow up…
Russell Beattie talks about the widespread pirating of games for the N-Gage, and suggests Nokia should start distributing the games over the net (ala the iTunes Music Store), rather than selling them on MMC cards. (I like the new design of his site, too.)
Engadget: Keyspan Airport Express remote - I have to get one of these! (But I'd need an Airport Express first.) It would nice if it used Bluetooth, instead of Infrared, though.
Courtesy of OSViews: Charles Arthur provides a different view of the iPod's dominance, and says in response to the concern that the iPod is at risk because of the proliferation of WMA-compatible players: "Six million reasons suggest this is 180 degrees from the truth."
The Register: Boy (11) sues mum for not buying him PC - What a joke! I'm surprised this even made it to a hearing… considering one of the presumptions in contracts is that in a domestic situation, there is no intention to be legally bound.
The New York Times has an article on the court cases being held for Guantanamo Bay prisoners. Whatever happened to the concept of "innocent until proven guilty"? Alleged terrorist or not, they should be given a chance to prove their case, and have legal representation. Why isn't anything being done about this???
