			    <title><![CDATA[The worst case scenario - or why two party systems aren't so bad]]></title>
			    <description><![CDATA[For our international audience's benefit: Australia has just had a federal (national) election, to select our government. This election, for the first time in 70 years, has failed to provide a clear mandate to any one party. As a result, we now have what's known as a &quot;hung parliament&quot; - in other words, we have no clear government.
In effect, this result is a huge slap down for the incumbent Labor party (centre left) government. At our last federal election, in 2007, Labor won a massive (landslide) election, and had a very large majority going in to this election. A virtual....]]></description>

			    <description><![CDATA[The anti-piracy powers that be have just found a new way to battle those nasty pirates who get free music and bootleg copies of performances - sue them before they even commit the alleged offence!
Oh yeah, you heard me right: legal action is now being initiated against people before they've even committed a crime.
Concert producers in the good ol &quot;land of the free&quot; have stumbled upon the fantastic idea of filing mass law suits against people for bootlegging concerts before the concer....]]></description>

			    <description><![CDATA[The self inflicted PR disasters for BP just keep on getting worse and worse. Now it appears they have been caught faking photos of their so called &quot;oil spill crisis command center&quot;.
In an attempt to make their crisis command center (if it even exists) look far more serious and efficient than it actually is, these amateur photoshop jobs have been released - and promptly caught out. There are many more at the link above, along with a detailed analysis of how the fakes were caught out.....]]></description>

			    <title><![CDATA[Conroy backs down... for now]]></title>
			    <description><![CDATA[It appears that politicians will occasionally listen to overwhelming public opinion, when no alternative presents itself and such has been the case today, with Senator Steven Conroy announcing the incredibly unpopular Australian Mandatory ISP Filter is being &quot;put on ice&quot;. The government today announced that they will conduct a full review, lasting at least until some time next year (read: after the next election), before proceeding any further.
So to sum this process up, for those of you who haven't be....]]></description>

			    <title><![CDATA[Mass Effect: the movie]]></title>
			    <description><![CDATA[Yeah, you heard me. They're making Mass Effect into a movie.
The game series I recently called perhaps the greatest of all time is going to be either glorified or ruined, on the big screen.
Unlike most game to movie adaptations, Mass Effect has a solid starting point, as a movie. The game writing and voice acting is widely regarded as the very best in the business and the story and plot are also highly regarded. In fact, the ....]]></description>

			    <description><![CDATA[The man who thinks its ok to search every laptop at the boarder for porn and wants packet inspection enforced on every internet connection in the country says that Google is invasive to privacy and &quot;creepy&quot;.
In what is possibly the largest known case of &quot;pot calling kettle&quot;, the man who wants Australia's entire IT infrastructure to be doused in Holy Water has come out and ac....]]></description>

			    <description><![CDATA[In the Australian governments desperation to pull in favours from the Family First Party and to show they're serious about &quot;protecting the children&quot;, customs officials have now been given the right to search laptops, mobile phones and data cards coming in to Australia for porn.
Not content with inspecting inbound packets of data on &quot;the tubes&quot;, Australia will now be inspecting inbound packets of data - in your backpack. That's right - while the res....]]></description>

			    <description><![CDATA[Forget every story you know. The greatest story ever to unfold has just happened - and it's real life.
We hear stories all the time of stupid criminals, people who try to do things that make you smack your head and groan. However trying to steal from a comic bookstore that contained not only Spiderman and the Flash, but also a few dozen Jedi, lightsabers included, is probably one of the stupider things anyone could have ever tried.
As part of celebrating ....]]></description>

			    <description><![CDATA[Hong Kong's largest ISP may have just committed the lowest act in the history of the Internet - and they're not alone in doing it.
It seems many ISPs, such as Virgin UK, Windstream in the US and a few others, have stumbled upon the idea of intentionally poisoning their customer's DNS to redirect all traffic aimed at Google to their own preferred search engine. So in effect, when you Google for a topic, you get a completely different search engine serving up the results. This kind of duplicitous behaviour is....]]></description>

			    <description><![CDATA[Sony, one of the last producers of the 3.4&quot; floppy disk, has announced they are stopping production next year, ending a 30 year run for the small black squares which IT worker knows and loves/hates.
For the past decade, sales have been steadily dropping from past glories and now measure in only a few million sales per year, no longer warranting the cost of production. Despite being long superseded by CDs, Zip Disks, DVDs, Blu-Rays and a host of othe....]]></description>
