Also included is ‘bragging rights’ - the owner gets to drag that she was the first to buy Borat related art.

I am yet to see ‘Saw II’ so some references went over my head.

My favorite trivia from the list is.

“25: Age Whannell was when he finally moved out of his parents’ house — immediately preceding the worldwide success of “Saw.”

Doctors told him no one had ever recovered from this condition. After retraining his brain through numerous self-created exercises, Scott was able to get back his voice. His blog on the condition and what transpired afterwards is truly an inspiring story. Do read the user comments as well.

Windows Vista will not require a system re-activation unless the hard drive and one other component is changed. This means that enthusiasts will be able to swap CPUs, memory and graphics cards out without any worry about having to re-activate with MS, either on the internet or by phone. This is good news to PC enthusiasts. You still can only use the license on only one machine at a time.
