Commodore debuts horrendously overpriced XX and GX PCs (Engadget)

Apr 24th 2007 12:40PM How quiet are these? They have some sort of custom water-cooling but they don't mention noise levels anywhere.

Office 12 Beta 1 coming soon (Download Squad)

Then resize the image. Many resizing algorithms will simply drop individual lines. Photoshop generally doesn't, especially if you play with the options to get the best quality transformation.
