Intel stressed out in Tom's Hardware test

The good news is that after years of complaining, the good people on the West Coast of Scotland won't have to pay to cross the ugly bridge from the Kyle of Lochalsh to the Isle of Skye any more. It cost £5.70 per automobile you ken. You do know what Kyle means, we're sure. We Scots are canny with our bawbees.

Thank the Lord there's a bit more going on. Here at Madshrimps, for example, the Belgian folk are looking at a Thermaltake Big Water thingie.

Aye. And at BIOS mag, there's a wee look at a label printer from Brother. Here. Bruvva used to be known for sewing machines, so this is a logical extension.

Over here, Bjorn 3D gives a D-Link thing a run for its dosh.

Legion Hardware is still working quite hard and goes through some angst over Asus' A8N SLI Deluxe thing. Here.

So too, Auphan Online hasn't been buried under the flurry of pre-Yule blizzards, and has a piece about OCZ's DDR "Booster" diagnostics, here.

Good old Hi Tech Reviews is still working for a living too, and has a review of something called the Casebuy USB Vacuum, as well.

When I was a mere sapling [surely stripling? Ed.] the Isle of Skye was very forested but now the fir trees are replacing practically every deciduous tree on the isle. Ah well. We can look forward to Hogmanany, and not have to fash too much about the inconvenient Christmassy thing that gets in the way of whisky galore, eh?

We'll be having no Yuletide greetings until Hogmanay dawns because we winnae run them, and would prefer just spamlets about hardware news ye've run. Er, and that's it. µ
