  2. HP Laptops on Laptops With Certain NVidia Chips Failing · · Score: 1

    Has anyone found that the HP driver update page for their laptop does not have the updated bios flash utility? I have a dv6302tx which has a Geforce Go 7400 however the latest bios flash download is F.29 from 2007 and not F.3D.

  3. Interesting Related Article on Full Review of the iPhone 2 On Launch Day · · Score: 1

    http://stuff.co.nz/4610626a18335.html If you want an iphone down here in New Zealand then be prepared to pay out big. Vodafone is selling Apple's 8 gigabyte iPhone 3G from $199NZ, but to get this price customers must sign up to a 24-month plan charging $250NZ per month. The plan includes voice calls, SMS and 1GB of data per month. Other plans charge $80NZ or $130NZ per month for 250MB and 500MB respectively, with the 8GB handset costing $549NZ or $449NZ respectively. The 16GB iPhone models cost $150NZ more in each case. The iPhone in New Zealand will cost from $2469NZ to $6199NZ over two years, depending on the plan and how much is paid up front.

  6. legal notices on Old-Fashioned DRM Protects Harry Potter Book · · Score: 1

    We have one of those legal notices sitting on the notice board at work for the book. Pretty much the books have to be locked up until 30 minutes before the release date. Boxes are not allowed to be opened, even by the store manager. There seems to be some special covering ive been told on the books too so that the people unpacking them for the release cant see the cover.

    I find gaming a nice stress buster... nothing better than releasing it into a game... better than releasing it at people in real life. Maybe the postal workers could get unreal tournament or something in that style and shoot there instead of shooting other workers
