New Gran Turismo 5 trailer confirms Ferrari included – Oh for crying out loud – do I need to get a PS3 as well?

Four Player Co-op in Halo 3 Confirmed by Microsoft VP Jeff Bell – I’m not a fan of playing competitive online games – I just don’t find it fun being repeatedly killed by someone on the internet – but the idea of 4 player co-op Halo sounds amazing.

The Killer Music Rental Device – I think the Sonos – ignoring the high price – is a great home music device. However, portable music is what really matters – I do the vast majority of my listening on my iPod, and I’m sure I’m not the only one.

Build Your Own Spitfire Plane from a $263,000 Kit – wow!

New MySpace Feature Broken on Launch Day – way to go guys; you can’t even manage to rip off Facebook properly!

On PHP – every server I have access to that has PHP has both 4 and 5 available. I prefer 5, but really – and I guess this is the problem – there’s not that much practical difference.

How many engineers does it take to turn on a light bulb? – and what exactly is wrong with a dimmer switch? I perfect example of how easy it is to over design things. I got the best compliment this week when someone said that I’d managed to turn a complicated problem into something really simple; this is the exact opposite.

Stereogum presents…OK X: A Tribute to OK Computer – there’s some brilliant gems in there.

Bring the Toys! Kickass AWD R/C car race/drift video – I need one of these, although I’m not sure what I do with it.

QuickTime 7.2/iTunes 7.3.1 now available – finally, full screen playback! Now all they need to do is add a full screen button to the embedded QuickTime player, and all will be right with the world.
