Well I have a new object for my techno-lust: a Sun Ultra 20 workstation with a 24 inch flat panel LCD monitor. Especially since the workstation is under $900 for all that brawny horsepower. Check that against the latest Powermac G5, which starts at $1999 and only goes up from there.

This perplexed the hell out of me this weekend.

Yep. Just what it says.

The War of the Worlds in 30 seconds with bunnies.

Check out this behemoth: The world’s biggest digging machine, this is the largest trencher/rotating shovel in the world. It was built by Krupp in Germany and is shown here in transit to its destination, a coal strip mine.

Looks like something created by Sauron to assault the gates of Minas Tirith if you ask me.
