Google have released a web-based calendar similar to 30boxes. It allows users to build a calendar and make events visible to certain people. You can also import your events from Outlook or other sites which use open calendar formats. Like everything else at Google, it’s a beta, but it looks promising. I’m struggling to find motiviation to carry on with iZeit.

Ever wanted to create your own box with a swirly pattern that goes around the outside? Probably not, but Paperboxes lets you print a box net with a pattern so the swirl appears to go round the outside of the box.
This guy really needs to chill, Onyxia is a bitch to kill. Kind of brings back memories though, and almost makes me wish I'd kept my WoW account.

If your parents ever say to you “Boy, you're going to be a star. I'll pay for the video, you'll make millions out of it”, please… ask your mates first. Parents are often blinded by love, and deaf 
Tristan Dunn of buckymatters.com has posted a Greasemonkey script which modifies the google homepage on the fly to look like Andy Rutledge's design. See it for yourself.
First there was mechanical Pong, now this. The game works by averaging the mouse locations of all the players on the team, so they have to work together to hit the ball.
BT Wholesale in conjunction with the service providers has been testing an up to 8Mbps ADSL service for what seems forever. Today sees BT Wholesale announce the product.
From 31st March 2006 the product will go live on a national basis. The service should be available on around 5300 exchanges, which will cover around 99.6% of homes and businesses in the UK. The key component to the Max services is that they are rate adaptive (i.e. will run at the highest speed they can) in both the downstream and upstream directions, which should see the vast majority of lines running a lot faster than under the existing planning rules used by BT Wholesale.
The potential line speeds are 160kbps to 8192kbps downstream, with upstream from 160kbps to 448kbps on Max, and 832kbps on Max Premium. 78% of BT lines are expected to manage 4Mbps or faster, 6Mbps to around 42%. It should be pointed out that even if you get the full 8192kbps, this is actually 3.6 times faster than an existing 2Mbps line. This is because a 2Mbps line runs at 2272kbps so that with the network overheads people will see close to 2Mbps under ideal conditions, so an 8192kbps line speed will provide around 7.1 to 7.3Mbps of potential data speed.
First it was 512k, then 1Mbps, now 2Mbps, and soon to be 4Mbps or more. 
Microsoft are giving out free USB keys. FIll in your details, answers are: 2, True, True, True. Hopefully this won't end up like IBMs offer.
A blatant Digg clone, Yigg.de reports tech news in german. It uses exactly the same layout as Digg, but apparently there has never been any form of communication between it's owner's and Digg.com. The biggest difference seems to be the lack of interesting story, the top story at the minute being that Pluto has two more moons!
