My comment to this post. Posting here because The Australian is fairly anti-NBN and has rejected pro-NBN comments in the past. What is the matter with overhead cables anyway? My street has above ground power, cable and phone. Overhead NBN would reduce the lowest thick cables to a single thinner cable (eventually). I very much [...] I just took receipt of a Samsung NC10 – $0 upfront on a two year contract with Optus – monthly 2GB of 3G data for use with the built in HSPA modem. I’m actually typing on it on the train right now. It meets most of my requirements, though I am still using Windows XP [...] Ever since the countdown of the Triple J Hottest 100 of all time, I felt a little cheated. I reckon some songs shouldn’t have been in the list, and here is a list of songs that should have been in there! (Note: these songs probably shouldn’t be top-10 or anything – but they should have [...] The HTC Dream running Android and the Apple iPhone are both available through Optus in Australia, so it is easy to directly compare their plans and coverage on the same network. The cheapest plan available with both phones is the $59 per month plan which includes $350 of calls and 500MB of mobile internet data. [...] I’ve finally gotten around to doing some stuff to this blog. I’m trying this theme and so far I’m happier with it. I’ll be doing some more customisation shortly! Obsolete browsers I have decided that I won’t even test my personal sites in IE6 any more. There are a few features I’m planning on adding [...] There has been a lot of talk about the best modern portable computing platform. Things like the iPhone are really popular, as are “traditional” laptops. By “traditional” I mean the clamshell which opens up so that the display and the keyboard are both protected during transit, but both are usable when opened. The new “netbooks” [...] I have been eyeing off several mini “netbook” computers to replace my old laptop. The battery is starting to wear out and a full charge will generally only last an hour now. The one I wanted was the Dell Inspiron Mini 9 and as I’ve been running Ubuntu for years it was good to not [...] I just downloaded the new Google Chrome browser and it is quite interesting. It doesn’t feel much faster than Firefox 3 on this computer. I’ll need to do more testing and I’ll update this post. The User Agent is “Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US) AppleWebKit/525.13 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/0.2.149.27 Safari/525.13″ which makes sure [...] Went to a client training site today (my work is quoting on a new sales tool for that company, and we were checking out their current tool) and it was a room full of iMacs. This is the room where they train new sales people on their products and how to sell it. However each [...] (This is a little later than I originally hoped) The Australian IT News has a feedback/discussion area but I have not been able to get it to work. This is my reply to “iPhone: Telstra can’t beat Optus” Telstra charges $2 per megabyte (!!!) on their standard plan. When I viewed that page it was [...] |
