Aint nothing going on but the rent, so I've posted an interesting link to an article that talks about IBMs new idea to cool CPUs in the future.  It involves taking a series of Tiny pipes that will water cool the CPU.  The reason for this is that IBM intend on stacking up the chips to form a 3D style chip.  This would enable IBM to produce maybe 80 core CPU or even more.

Consumers To Get More Info On Actual ADSL Speeds

Broadband users who have become frustrated by dodgy advertising touting line speeds of 8MB and upwards should be encouraged by recent news from Ofcom.

Face book number for the Wii.

Forget about complicated telephone mnemonic devices to help you remember your sixteen-digit Wii friend code. Sam Lu's Wii Friend Number app on Facebook is as good a solution as I've seen.

You already use Facebook to keep in touch with your pals, so rolling your console number as well as your game specific numbers (ugh) into your profile is smart thinking. Matchmaking you with your pals that have the same games, that's even smarter. More
