Tweakers claim to crack XP SP1 anti-piracy code

THOSE NAUGHTY BOYS down under in TweakTown have posted a guide entitled "Windows XP SP1 - Updating Tips ‘n' Tricks". And they claim to have a way of getting round Microsoft's anti-piracy measures. Not that we'd condone such a thing. Sneak over here. "Let's face it," they say, "if these users are already running an illegal copy of Windows - can further harm really be done?" Hmm. You listening. Bill?

Over at Firing Squad they take a look at an AMD Athlon XP 2400+ "We feel the Athlon XP 2400+ represents the best value in AMD's current lineup," they say. Wibble ye hither.

Mikhailtech fiddles with a blue, button-less mouse. The AM-2000 Crystal Optical Blue LED Mouse is a small mouse with a secondary shell on top. When you tilt the top portion left, it left clicks, and when you tilt it right, it right clicks. Nothing revolutionary here, but definitely out of the ordinary, they say. Squeak your way hither.
