22. March, 2003 - Some fun?

BallParkWatch, strangely enough, watches ballparks. New ones. Proposed new ones. Teams holding cities hostage (well, not so much of that).

Tom’s Hardware Guide Processors: Hot Spot - How Modern Processors Cope With Heat Emergencies like having a heat-sink that isn’t actually attached to the CPU. Includes a video. [metafilter]
