I'm definitely not the first to mention this, but I did want to get my say in about Apple's wicked cool 8 core MacPro desktop. At 4000 USD that is a lot of processing power for not much change.
At some point I will have to buy a new system and although right now I am looking at the quad core (2.00 Mhz), if I can swing it, it would be NICE to get the 8 core.

Will keep everyone posted...
 
(MUCH later: Got a 3.0 Mhz 8 core - it is sweet)

Reuters reported on March 21st that the world may be running out of nuclear fuel. In only a few years the prices has jumped from $10 US / lb to $90 US / lb. In the last 20 years there have been no new reactors in the United States. The problem has been one of supply and demand. "Just as large numbers of new reactors are being planned, we are only starting to emerge from 20 years of underinvestment in the production capacity for the nuclear fuel to operate them," explained Thomas Neff of MIT's Center for International Studies.

The Free Software Foundation will seek to undermine the Novell-Microsoft agreement, according to the IndiaTimes.   “We need to make sure such deals don’t make a mockery of the goals of free software,” Peter Brown, executive director of the Free Software Foundation, said in an interview with Reuters.
