    Australia Gets R18+ Rating

    Careful with that statement there... it's good to see that legislation that makes sense is passing through Parliament. The only dick move that could happen now is if something happens in court to overrule the legislation >.> Say if crazies like Fred Nile go and take it up to the High Court to...

    Anonymous Calls up SCEA President, Sends Pizzas

    If they wanted to really muck things up, at least with the flowers, start making the CEO's wife have suspicions of a mistress (or two). Emotional manipulation within the family is much deadlier.

    Canada's government falls.

    Wow, and I thought Australia was the only country which doesn't appreciate its own government... (and I'm not being sarcastic, it was the Labor govt's that pulled us through the GFC).

    Allies Fire Missiles at Libya

    People! You DO realise that they are legally allowed to intervene if the country's government is continually abusing its populous, and thus it loses its state sovereignty (i.e. the right to govern its own people). Hence why other countries are allowed to intervene. I'm apprehensive as to...

    Judge Allows Sony to Unmask Anybody Who Visited GeoHot Site

    Oooooh boy... the legal implications of this is insane. The precedent set is gonna ruin freedom for all of us people (if future lawsuits choose to use this case as a precedent to further their own causes). Thanks American legal system.

    No new engine for Call of Duty

    The CoD4 engine was a slight improvement over the CoD2 engine. But hardly much changed. CoD2 was the main game-changer for the CoD series in terms of graphics. CoD1 was based off the Unreal 2.5 engine which was great back in the day. Changing the engine doesn't mean the feel must be taken...

    Mortal Kombat banned Down Under

    I blame this on the right-wing conservatives in power that are completely out of touch with the general population, yet are backed by the few bogans out there that still vote them. Hint: the party starts with L and rhymes with "syllables". Sadly it's commonly generalised that kids will manage to...

    CRTC approves Usage Based Billing

    Not much to whine about. Australians have had this since the dawn of the Internet to this day. What's worse is that our data usage limits are pitiful for the price we pay.

    Five Reasons the PSP2 won't succeed

    The article does seem a "little" biased *COUGH*. To say that it doesn't bring anything new isn't necessarily a drawback. For the 3DS, the addition of no-glasses 3D is just bait for the sheeple and uneducated masses. Soon it blows over since it isn't that great. The revolutionary thing about the...

    Temporary Restraining Order Issued in Sony vs. Geohot

    I'm worried about the implications of this case. If indeed Sony wins, what precedent does this leave for future cases of Developer vs. Homebrew developer/Hacker? In all seriousness, it could get quite out of hand with companies legally allowed to have heavy handed restrictions upon its customers...

    Nvidia's Kegputer Can Play StarCraft II On 3 Screens

    Can't the ATI cards run 6 screens? This is hardly impressive when it's requiring 2 x GTX580s... Regardless though, interesting mod but I remember seeing something identical to this months ago on bit-tech.net.

    P3GO GT-Break unit shipped out with a trojan on it.

    autorun.inf isn't read upon insertion. Otherwise I would've had many many viruses put onto my laptops. Basically this was one of the major overhauls of the autorun system made by Microsoft upon release of Windows 7. Can't remember which Build this was introduced in but it was quite genius. Oddly...

    P3GO GT-Break unit shipped out with a trojan on it.

    Solution: Get Windows 7 Autorun does not work unless done by disc media such as CDs and DVDs. Simple.

    Day of Defeat Midweek Madness Steam sale

    Damn I wish this deal occurred 4 years ago... I haven't stopped playing this since the free weekend offer in late 2006. Custom maps are awesome too, like the one posted i the video above (it was called fullhouse).

    Free iPods given to 600 pupils

    +1 to Ravager90. It horrifies me that more and more people are becoming iPeople, that keep falling into the idea that Apple products are vastly superior because they just are. If anything, those iPods are going to serve as mighty distractions, making some sort of vicious circle of stupid people...

    Nintendo expects to ship 4M 3DS in fiscal year

    If China decides to destroy the yen, then maybe their profits will collapse. Would be interesting to see what happens if they decide to keep buying government bonds to appreciate the yen further.

    Man with no limbs swims across the English channel

    Big ups to a man that is brave enough to prove to the world that a disability can't hold him back. Don't complain that normal people don't get credit -- they do. But this man deserves more credit as he has overcome societal and emotional hurdles to get to where he is. Good to see someone prove...

    Julia Gillard New Australian PM

    *sigh* even though I absolutely hate the unions for ruining our country (by forcing Rudd out, and I bet mining companies had a play in it), I sure hope people still vote Gillard next, because she's still infinitely better than the Mad Monk. Anyone who'd vote Abbott in would be sending us back to...

    RUMOR- (IGN) Devs say 3DS close to PS3/360 specs

    ... Even Nvidia's Tegra could do that kind of crazy graphics for a handheld... too many technical problems involved with a chip like that: heat, power consumption etc. If it passes as something slightly better than PS2 I'd believe it (at an acceptable resolution like 800x640, unlike the current...
