"We love Apple. Apple knows more about "clean" design than anybody, right? So why do Macs, iPods, iBooks and the rest of their product range contain hazardous substances that other companies have abandoned? A cutting edge company shouldn't be cutting lives short by exposing children in China and India to dangerous chemicals. That's why we Apple fans need to demand a new, cool product: a greener Apple." watch their ad here.

Portable Atari Jaguar

Ben Heck has taken apart an Atari Jaguar, and made it into a portable console with built in joypad, screen, and stereo speakers. He says the 64bit console has a 32-bit bus, and is not a 64-bit machine as Atari were claiming at the time...

AMD and ATI become one. Germany requires Internet License!

AMD and ATI are now one, and if you go to ati.com you end up at ati.amd.com.

Some worrying news from Germany: Germany brings in TV license fees for the internet -

"And, just to really rub salt into the wound, the follow up of shock troops comes with the realisation that you’ll be charged this license fee no matter what you use your internet device for! Yep, that means you business users, who never surf the net, have net access for information and email only, you get charged. Likewise, home users in the ex-Eastern Germany, who are just unwrapping the latest 486DX2, are going to be hit with the charge too." more details at the inquirer.
