The Website’s Down
This spoof video is hilarious and shows exactly what Sys Admins do. Not me of course, I’m an angel ;-).

Live Shots of the Voodoo Envy 133
Engadget has some beautiful shots of the thinnest laptop in the world. The Voodoo Envy 133 in orange looks stunning and is much better looking than the thing a nameless company sells in an envelope.
You can head on to Photobucket to have a look at the full gallery.
Audi’s A7 - The CLS Beater
I’m a fan of cars made by the VAG group. Especially Audis. And they are on a proper roll this year, having released cars into and paraded concepts for all sorts of different niches.
This one looks really good and is something I’d seriously look into as a replacement for my current Bora.
The Audi A7 is one of those cars for grown ups who still love cars, but want some comfort to go with their style. It’s a four door coupe and will, no doubt, includes all sorts of new gadgetry.
20 Things Learned from Tech Support
I was covering Paul’s Tech Support role last week and came across this:
- As long as the world turns, users will still have problems

Microsoft Works is now free
This came as a bit of a surprise to me.
So many PC vendors install it on their machines that I’ve always taken it for granted. In fact it tends to be the first thing I uninstall from any new PC that comes my way. I probably have draws full of unopened Works CDs.
Techcrunch has more information for anyone that might be interested.

Finally we get the Xbox 360 Elite
Engadget is reporting that Microsoft has finally announced the Xbox 360 Elite for our (European) shores. The mega console with HDMI and 120GB HDD is set to hit Europe on 24th August.
Time to convince the OH that our PS2 has served us well and should be retired, methinks.

Awesome sounding BMW 135i
How BMW managed to get their three liter twin turbo engine from the 335 into a 1 series coupe is a wonder in itself. But the sound is absolutely awesome.
This is what an engine generating 300hp @ 5800rpm and 300 lb-ft torque, rocketing it from 0-60mph in just 5.3-seconds sounds like.
I hope it’s on the cheaper side of £30k.

Supercharged MTM Audi RS4 Clubsport
MTM’s supercharger conversion for the already immensely powerful RS4 adds a huge 20,000 euros on top of the price of your bog standard RS4, but boy does it sound good too. This turns your car (if you own an RS4) into something that can hit almost 200 mph (199 if you want to be exact) and 62mph in 3.9 seconds.
Audiworld have a full review and many more snaps of this fire-breathing, 535 bhp beast.

An Aluminium Phone from Porsche Design
Like Prada and other designers, Porsche is also stepping into the mobile phone market. Unlike some, this isn’t just any old phone with a Porsche badge on it. This super-cool phone has a case milled from a single block of aluminium and includes fingerprint security.
Apparently it’s the result of collaboration between Porsche Design and Sagem Communication and may be called the Porsche - Sagem P9521.
It’s due to be released in September. I wonder if Vodafone will offer it as an upgrade?
