Editor's Note

This week - we’ve got the new Asus Centrino 2 benchmarks to get excited about, some classic cars to ponder over and a heated debate, where the finger is firmly pointed at unsuspecting parents.

Recently, an online survey showed that parents were more concerned about how much video games their kids were playing, over behaviour such as drinking or watching porn. And, although most forum regulars won’t be surprised by this news article, it does seem to be making a mountain out of a molehill.

While on Tuesday, the much awaited TMC service launched in Sydney and Brisbane and we’ve got the photos from the media event to prove it. Take a gander at some of the amazing cars in those shots – there’s over 25 million dollars worth of cold metal on display. Plus, the new in-car TMC looks pretty nice too.
