<p>Today Icrontic rolls on and serves up another dose of shlongies. Too long to be shorties, too short to be long news posts, we give it to you in neat little morsels. Onwards!</p>
<ul>
<li>If you're a musician of any sort, no doubt the cool <a href="http://digitalmedia.oreilly.com/2008/01/24/2008-namm-report.html">new technologies</a> at the NAMM expo will keep you interested for a little bit.</li>
<li>Looking to run a thin client, or some other computer free of a ROM drive? Perhaps UNetbootin is the <a href="http://www.linux.com/feature/124684">killer app for you</a>. Install operating systems over the internet!</li>
<li>Netgear has <a href="http://www.reghardware.co.uk/2008/01/25/netgear_recalls_powerline_adaptors/">recalled</a> more than 80,000 PLN adapters recently for fear of the little buggers blowing up on your wall. Yikes.</li>
<li>The HTPC market is bigger than ever, with thousands realizing that you needn't be tied to a receiver or a DVD player to get epic DTS surround. Elisa 0.3.3 for Linux hopes to <a href="http://arstechnica.com/journals/linux.ars/2008/01/22/elisa-0-3-3-turns-linux-into-a-movie-theater">capitalize</a> on that trend in a similar way that Myth has.</li>
<li>For an old-school Sega gamer like me, this is cool news (Would be better if I owned a Wii, though): It appears that Sega master system games are going to be <a href="http://www.crunchgear.com/2008/01/25/wii-virtual-console-to-get-sega-master-system-games/">showing up on the Wii</a> for $6 a pop. NHLPA '93 and Shinobi for all!</li>
<li>For those of you who have not yet upgraded to Windows XP, you'll be pleased to know that <a href="http://www.neowin.net/news/main/08/01/25/microsoft-releases-windows-vista-sp1-rc-refresh-2">refresh two</a> of the Vista SP1 release candidate has hit beta testers.</li>
<li>And the most frightening news of the hour: It appears there is <a href="http://it.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/01/24/1930207&from=rss">mystery malware</a> infecting *NIX servers at an alarming rate. It's infecting numerous MIME types, and can't readily be identified. Eep.</li>
