OpenAL Soft is a cross-platform, software implementation of the OpenAL 3D audio API licensed under LGPL. Yesterday they have released version 1.12.854.
Im not a big follower of this one because I prefer to work with OpenAL and still cant see the point of having OpenAL Soft. Can somebody explain me?

A phrase for today
Whereas Europeans generally pronounce my name the right way ('Nick-louse Veert'), Americans invariably mangle it into 'Nickel's Worth.' This is to say that Europeans call me by name, but Americans call me by value.Niklaus Wirth

OpenGL 4.0 review
An interesting review of the new specification, published by an opengl.org forum member. OpenGL 4.0 updates the standard to match up with DirectX 11 and recent hardware, let's hope that the Khronos Group keep the good pace in the future.

An Ogre forum member has released some good models under GPL, and also is selling some of his work. The files are in blend, obj and Ogre mesh format, each one with its normal map.

Intel Guide for Developing Multithreaded Applications
An interesting reading, and i would say, a must. With multicore CPUs getting more and more popular, multithreading has become a necessary evil.

3D Rad Game Editor available for free
I read in Gamedev news that 3D Rad Game Editor is no free for any purpose. 3D Rad is a freeware, user-friendly 3d game creator with a straightforward developing workflow and ready-to-use physics simulation. You can use it to create any sort of stand-alone, interactive 3d project for Windows Vista/XP. So, no cross-platform, but could help you to start in the world of game making.

Indie funds
Got this on twitter today:
Indie Fund is a brand new funding source for independent developers, created by a group of successful indies looking to encourage the next wave of game developers. It was established as a serious alternative to the traditional publisher funding model. Our aim is to support the growth of games as a medium by helping indie developers get financially independent and stay financially independent.
