Hulu has suffered its fair share of criticism from dissing Boxee, but now that things seem to be ironed out between the two, we’re thrilled to hear that more content is coming to the online video portal.

On the same day that Microsoft released the Release Candidate (RC) of Windows 7 to TechNet and MSDN users, computer manufacturer Acer gave us a date for the release of the product, at least in a pre-loaded (on PCs) manner: Oct. 23rd. On Thursday, Acer told Pocket-lint that Windows 7 will be available pre-loaded on their new all-in-one Z5600 PC from October 23, 2009.

While most computer enthusiasts overclock their systems to get increased performance from their components, there are a select few that push the limits of hardware to another level for the entertainment factor alone. Instead of just trying to get higher frame rates for gaming or better throughput for other types of workloads, these extreme enthusiasts run a series of benchmarks to see who can achieve the highest score or finish with the fastest time. Professional overclockers throughout North America often participate

Well, what have we here? No, really — what in the world is this? Japanese site Akihabara News.com has images of a completely intriguing new netbook accessory, a little something called the — wait for it — Netbook Stand.
