JuiceMedia’s Rap News 9: The Economy

Got a nice surprise this morning when I saw that Juice Media’s Rap News just had a new episode released over night.

The new iGoogle Gmail interface is freaking FUGLY!

Being a big fan of multitasking (as stressful as it can be at times), I like to make full use of Google’s iGoogle homepage. In a nutshell it lets me put things like my reader subscriptions, mail and weather forecasts set as my default homepage everytime I load up my browser. Sometime in the last [...]

Google’s voice search can’t understand my accent

I’m not entirely sure when it rolled out but sometime over the last few hours I’ve started to get a google voice search option (a little microphone icon) appear in my search bar after I’ve conducted a search. It could have been implemented earlier but to be honest with the amount of time I spend [...]

Juice Media’s Rap News Epsiode 8: Osamacide is out!

I was pleasantly surprised out of nowhere this morning to read that Juice Media have released their latest episode of Rap News. ‘Epsiode 8: Osamacide’ gets back to some solid rhymes and beats discussing the recent assasination of Osama Bin Laden;

Planking: Cleansing Australia of our idiots

Back in 2006, the Lying Down Game was born on Facebook. As with most internet memes, Australia is a few decades behind and it is only recently that the Lying Down Game has caught on under the name of ‘planking’. With Planking, the basic idea is that you get someone to take a photo of [...]

Tradeleaks.com: Kogan’s pointless cash in on Wikileaks

Between Julian Assange’s own personal jail dramas and the ever slow leakage of US diplomatic cables, it’s hard to escape Wikileaks being plastered over the frontpage of major news outlets. As such it’s a little disturbing, but not totally unsurprising to see attempts to latch onto this global publicity. The latest of which is a [...]

Australia vs. Wikileaks: The hunt for Julian Assange

Democracy as I know it, or more accurately understand it is the government working for the people. Somewhere along the line however this has since turned into layer upon layer of secrecy, backhand dealings and outright withholding of information from the public. So long as the tax dollars keep rolling in, why should governments feel [...]

Australian mandatory internet filter delayed till 2013

Before the 2010 federal election there were two major Labor policies hanging in the balance, the mandatory internet filter and the National Broadband Network (NBN). Both were potentially to be up in jeopardy if Labor lost but fortunately for both policies, they won. With the election now over, the Department of Broadband Communications and the [...]
