The release of PS3 is likely to intensify competition in the computer game market as Microsoft is set to release its next-generation computer game machine, Xbox360, at the end of this year.

Asterisk on OpenWRT part 2 - Lest Blood Be Shed - This seems to be an interesting project, as I am allready running

1. A LinkSys WRT54G
2. IP telephony using the SIP protocol (delivered to the real world by musimi.dk)
