Tasmanian broadband pilot shows us the future - Connectivity - Technology
By 2010, the average South Korean will have a connection of 100Mbps (the same as what the majority of Australians will have by the end of the NBN implementation) and by 2012, it will be 1Gbps. 100Mbps means that you can download an episode of a TV show in less than 28 seconds. At 1 Gbps you don’t even have time to start the stopwatch before the show is downloaded.
Broadband in South Korea has had the following impacts:

You missed your chance, Peter | smh.com.au
You didn't have the balls to seize the moment then, leaving the leadership by default to John Howard. And you haven't had the balls, or the numbers, since. It's no use trying to argue that you had some sort of "secret" deal with Howard that he would move over for you after some "reasonable period". You know Howard was never in any position to deliver, even if he ever recognised that he had made such a "core" promise.
Melbourne Greeter
It not very often that good things are free, but Melbourne's Greeter service, run by the City of Melbourne, is just that.
It's a fantastic way to get the feel of the city. All you need to do is contact them online a month prior to your visit, and arrange to meet a guide somewhere central for a two- to four-hour walking orientation tour of the city.
Tours are available every day departing the Melbourne Visitor Centre at Federation Square.
Bush Retreat by Farnan Findlay Architects : TreeHugger
Four 6,000 gallon tanks hold water gathered from the roof; a wind turbine and photovoltaics generate electricity for 14 batteries that hold a week's worth of electricity (do they have longer nights in Australia?) LED lighting, passive solar design, in an elegant modern envelope. As Dwell says, none of the "down-on-the-alfalfa-farm nuts and berries aesthetic associated with sustainable architecture."
Opening salvos in landmark piracy case - BizTech - Technology - smh.com.au
In a landmark case that could stop pirates in their tracks, leading ISP iiNet has formally defended itself against claims by movie studios that it willingly permitted customers to download movies illegally.
In the Federal Court today, Australia's third largest ISP - which could face millions in damages - argued the case was "like suing the electricity company for things people do with their electricity".
Snap Judgment: Happy Hump Day!
It has been so hot in SA (Southern Australia) for over a week…40+ degrees Celsius every day, and very dry.
A guy at work lives at Maude (New South Wales). His wife sent him these photos of a little Koala which just walked into the back porch looking for a bit of heat relief. She filled up a bucket and this is what happened!

Film studios to become 'police, judge, executioner' - BizTech - Technology
Conversely, the TV and movie industry want ISPs to disconnect people it has identified as repeat infringers. There would be no involvement from police or the courts and the industry would simply provide the IP addresses of users they believe to be illegal downloaders.
"To shift the burden of proof and require that ISPs terminate access to users upon mere allegations of infringement would be incredibly harmful to individual internet users in Australia," the online users lobby group Electronic Frontiers Australia said.
"Every citizen has a right of due process under the law and, when faced with having their internet service terminated, every citizen has the right to ask that the case against them be proven first."
An epidemic in illegal downloading - web - Technology - smh.com.au
File-sharing is no longer just in the realm of frustrated Star Trek fans, with almost every television show that screens in the US or Britain available online within 24 hours at DVD quality or better. Movies are also often available before they even open
