Right. It's been a while, thanks to Cebit and a few other things, but let's do this.

From myself: Lots of Cebit stuff, totally Digg-able interview with the AMD techies.

From Josh: All sorts of hardware.

From Dave: Loads of games, My Little Pony meets bloody games meets the SMH meets the courts.

From Ashton: Monster RAID article, what is a normal PC?

From Logan: Turok Funnies.

From Assorted: WINE, National Broadband plan, everybody <3 Google.

From The Inquirer: Microsoft is Evil, Evil is Microsoft, Is Microsoft Evil and other permutations.

Happy reading, happy week.

-DAVE.
