For those of you who like Open Office then this would be some good news.
Many users find OpenOffice.org a capable replacement for Microsoft Office, but the software suite isn't without its quirks, and development has progressed quite slowly over the past few years. With the newly released OpenOffice.org 3.0 beta, the development team behind the software is giving users a glimpse of what's in store for the next major milestone.

LEGO Indiana Jones: The Original Adventures @ IGN. id Software Announces . . . Doom 4
To me this is great news because sometimes I just love to kickback and shoot them up, especially after having a bad day in the office. I've been an id fan since the days of Doom and Doom II. Doom 3 was a bit of a let down for me, so I really hope Doom 4 will be a much better game overall.
id Software will be producing another Doom title after all. After last year's unveiling of Rage, id's next-generation title based on entirely new intellectual property, the game development studio has announced Doom 4. Production on the next installment in the Doom series has already begun, and id says it is "expanding its internal team and is currently hiring to work on this highly anticipated title."

Microsoft Corp. has warned users updating to Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3) that they won't be able to downgrade from Internet Explorer 7 to the older IE6 without uninstalling the service pack.
"If you choose to install XP SP3, Internet Explorer 7 will remain on your system after the install is complete," said Jane Maliouta, an IE program manager, in the blog entry. "Your preferences will be retained. However, you will no longer be able to uninstall IE7. If you go to Control Panel, Add/Remove Programs, the Remove option will be grayed out."

After having his modified drivers taken offline as a result of Creative's request, Daniel_K is back with a X-Fi drivermod that takes advantage of the Auzentech drivers to enable Dolby Digital output on Windows Vista. The mod as is does not modify Creative code, and thus is allowed- for now.

Good news for Linux gamers?
There have been rumors since last year that Valve may be serious about porting Source games to Linux after Valve Software began seeking a senior software engineer with the responsibility of porting Windows-based games to the Linux platform. Valve Software has yet to officially announce Linux clients for any of its software, but at Phoronix we have received information confirming that Valve is indeed porting its very popular Source engine to the Linux platform.

Just when you thought it was all over, the drama begins anew.
Yahoo seemingly made its position absolutely clear -- it felt Microsoft's offer of $31 a share, a 62 percent premium on current prices at the time of the offer, was unfair and undervalued the company. It argued that anything less than $37 a share, or roughly a 91 percent premium on the price at the time, would be unsatisfactory. Source: DailyTech NVIDIA nForce 780a motherboard reviews

Stanford University, Sun Microsystems, Advanced Micro Devices, Nvidia, IBM, Hewlett-Packard and Intel Relevant Products/Services will announce the creation of the 'Pervasive Parallelism Lab.' this Friday. The alliance is hoping to make software to fully utilize multicore processors as many computer and chipmakers have become concerned that consumers will have no reason to upgrade to the processors.
The most advanced corporate server microprocessor, as well as processors for video game machines, have up to eight cores. While operating systems can work with this type of hardware, software engineers widely acknowledge that most apps are not designed for efficient use of the dozens or hundreds of processors expected in future computers.

HotHardware takes a look at Diamond's mainstream Radeon HD 3650.
While the average PC enthusiast may gawk endlessly over pages of reviews of high-end power-hungry graphics cards, jaw-slackened by the frame rates and 3DMark score that he or she might find there, at the end of the month it is the low to mid-range card that is purchased more often than not in the retail sector. Price typically is a primary consideration, but it's not the only concern. Availability, compatibility, and other issues factor in to a buyers decision as well.

I'm surprised Microsoft has actually given up trying to acquire Yahoo. I was expecting some sort of hostile takeover, but I guess even Microsoft has a price limit.
There has been a long and tumultuous battle of words between Microsoft and Yahoo ever since the Redmond-based software giant decided to make a bid for Yahoo in early February. Microsoft offered to buy the search giant for $44.6B which included a 66 percent premium on Yahoo's stock price at the time. Source: DailyTech Adobe's Open Screen Iniative
