Albatron PX925XE Pro-R:

If you are out shopping for a LGA775 motherboard for your next desktop PC, check out this Albatron PX925XE Pro-R review. If you need a motherboard for some serious overclocking, this board is not for you.

The Albatron PX925XE Pro-R is a fine board but not one that a true hardcore enthusiast should aim for; if balls out overclocking is your thing you should look elsewhere.

Bug Hunter Gets $$ From Mozilla:

I found this little nugget of info worth posting. Mozilla paid out $2500 to a researcher for discovering 5 vulnerabilities in FireFox. The man was paid $500 per bug/flaw he found. If I were you guys, I’d get to looking!

"We developed the bug bounty program to encourage and award community members who identify unknown bugs in the software," said Chris Hofmann, director of engineering for the Mozilla Foundation. "This program is one of the many ways the Mozilla Foundation produces safe and secure software for its users."
