* Geekman discusses LAMPPIX and points toa list of Linux live distributions. I had no idea there were so many bootable cd variants of linux, this is very cool. * Alienware yokes two GPUs together. Wow. If this is a reliable solution, how cool. * Sony’s Liquid-cooled media PC. Is liquid cooling going to become mainstream? * Nvidia lowers power reqs for 6800. Good thing, they are going to get toasted by ATI if they don’t lower the footprint of the 6800. * Rich is excited about bloglines. I’ll have to try out the Mozilla integration. * Paul Thurrott is excited about Far Cry. I’ve mentioned Far Cry before, it is a beautiful game and is a great value – much longer set of single player missions than most games. It is incredibly demanding of your hardware. * Blogware – yet another blog tool to look at if and when i upgrade my blog software. * 7 tuner DVR. what a beast. But for college football saturdays I could actually imagine using it. * Encrypted monitors. Funky. * 2nd display over the network or what to do with an idle laptop. * Guide to steganography software. One man’s guide.
