OCAU Podcast - Overclockers Australia

In this episode we chat about recycled water, RIAA lawsuits, WoW dating, Bluetooth history, the first email and domain, the Estonian hardware scene, our first PC's and Ebay strategies. We also have Andypoo's hardware market roundup and a few other things.

Sciby was unfortunatly transformed into a robot before this episode was recorded, so it's just Andypoo and Agg, with a bit from thetron in the middle. We have some thoughts on the AMD+ATI merger, Conroe availability, DS Lite brain training stuff, interstellar travel and a few other topics.

This week the focus is on Conroe, Intel's new CPU family. We have a half-hour interview with Chainbolt, the author of our Conroe review. Andypoo, Sciby and Agg also take time to answer a few questions, which results in some funny stories and recollections etc. This episode is also recorded in stereo, with slight stereo separation between hosts to help distinguish our voices.

Despite there being very little in the way of interesting news this week, Sciby, Andypoo and Agg still managed to waffle on for nearly an hour. I also experimented with putting music between topics in this episode, so it's ended up sounding like a podcast about nothing, recorded in a disco! I bet you're just itching to download this one. :)

In this episode: Spooky theme music! Plus site updates, annoying contest laws, WGA disabled, transparent laptops, Reservoir Dogs being banned, FON wireless, periodic table waffling, a secret sound that doesn't suck, Blu-Ray vs HD-DVD, etc.

In this episode: Nintendo DS Lite and the Brain Training game, Windows Genuine Advantage naughtiness, the Federal Government's plan to block porn, Swarmthe and Alexa, last.fm and NetVibes, Bill Gates and distributed computing, motherboard review rant, secret sound stuff, contest ideas, new product and pricing info from Andypoo, plus the usual other gibberish.

In this episode Sciby, Andypoo and I chat about various things including the CPU price war, Bill Gates stepping down, over-diversification of products, ATI's physics acceleration, Armoured Fury for BF2, etc etc. We also announce the winners of our PSU competition, and prizes for past secret sound winners. Plus lots of other misc stuff as usual.

In this special episode we talk with John Selby, a lecturer in the Division of Law at Macquarie University and a research associate at the Centre for Cyberspace Law and Policy at UNSW. We chat with him about a range of technology, copyright and internet law issues in Australia.
