Battle of the brands: Microsoft is cooler than Apple | Courier Mail Hi Tech Blog - http://blogs.news.com.au/courier...
from
"BusinessWeek has released its annual list of the 100 top global brands and Microsoft is massively cool, apparently. It sits at number three on the list, slightly less worthy than Coca-Cola and IBM. And that “cool” brand Apple? It managed to claw its way up three places on the list, but only just nudged its way into the top 20… at number 20." - Matt G

Bashed your head? You needed a stiff drink - health - 21 September 2009 - New Scientist - http://www.newscientist.com/article...
from
"Crazy as it sounds, alcohol may one day be given to people with brain injuries to help them recover. The idea has arisen from a study of 38,000 people with head injuries, which found that those with alcohol in their blood were more likely to survive. For every 100 people who died when stone-cold sober, only 88 died with ethanol – the kind of alcohol in drinks – in their veins." - Matt G

The new range, by UK-based Hom, will have a horizontal opening instead of a vertical slit accessed from the right-hand side, breaking a tradition that has lasted for 75 years." - Matt G

Stun-gun maker Taser blogs to beat bad buzz | Technology | Internet | Reuters - http://www.reuters.com/article...

"When the 49ers were battling the Cardinals in a National Football League game earlier this year, a Facebook update by stun gun maker Taser proclaimed that the San Francisco-based team's "Taser formation" could be the tipping factor. The company, whose main product is a lightning rod for criticism, is increasingly using blogs and social networks to promote new products and dispel anxieties about them." - Matt G

Love you Telstra. - Matt G
I have been looking at Australia's Broadband offerings for a friend of mine in Aus. All I can say is *IT SUCKS*. And Telstra have the worst. I pay £26 per month for unlimited downloads and 8Mb/256Kb speeds... and £26 is expensive and I am only paying it because I am too busy (or lazy) to change. I can get 20Mb/1Mb with no limits for £25 if I got off my butt and did something about it. - travispuk
I couldn't agree more Travis, but it's my fault. I signed with Telstra in a moment of MADNESS! Now I cry every time I read about the other alternatives. As you point out though they all suck compared to what is available overseas. I am no expert but iinet looks to have some good deals (and maybe TPG). - Matt G
Matt, yeah iiNet Broadband2+ was what I recommended. Nice speed, good caps and a great price. If I was still living in Australia I would be tempted to head on over to iiNet myself. (please note I am not affiliated with iiNet in ANYWAY ;)) - travispuk

Metallica's fine, but not Ned Kelly | The Daily Telegraph - http://www.dailytelegraph.com.au/news...
from
"YOU can call your kid Metallica, Fully Hektik Sik or God Bless, but don't even think about giving him the name Ned Kelly - that would be offensive. Christian names deemed acceptable and unacceptable by the NSW Registry of Births, Deaths and Marriages provide interesting reading." - Matt G
Ned Kelly was rejected for public interest reasons, as was Jesus Christ. Post Master General and Chief Maximus were rejected because they are titles. Other names knocked back included a blank space, the child's Medicare number and the number seven, a name suggested in the sitcom Seinfeld. - Matt G
For reasons known only to the Registrar, Metallica, Fully Hektik Sik and God Bless are acceptable. - Matt G

A question to the academics and librarians (or anyone else with an opinion) out there. Is there a way to accesss peer reviewed journals (science & environmental) without paying a subscripition. The equivalent of file sharing music or video? They were all free when I was a student but the subscription costs are prohibitive for me at the moment.

I really love this song. I first saw this guy and his band play at Her Majesty's Tavern nearly 20 years ago and they were awful. I am glad they persevered.

@mariadelbarrio8 Try to be more understanding of cultural differences. That is considered a great compliment in Australia. :-)

"This week brought more distressing news for journalists, as a new survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press found the U.S. public more critical than ever of the accuracy and independence of the media. Only 29 percent of Americans believe that news organisations generally get the facts straight, the survey found, the lowest level in the survey’s near quarter-century history." - Matt G
