I came across an interesting advert targeted at the deaf community today - on the radio.

That's where you got to!

That doesn't explain why their hardware is so much more expensive here. To be fair though, it's not just Apple - Australians get stiffed on all hardware. Last time I checked the price of the Pico projector here it was ~1200AUD$, as opposed to about 400USD$ in the States. Phones, TVs, PCs...EVERYTHING!

If that's the case, why is it ~70% more expensive in Australia?

I read this as breaking down in a one-horse town after the horse has been stabbed for the night, which probably says a lot about some of the one-horse towns in I've seen in Scotland.

You're missing the point. GP is suggesting that engineers should be responsible for UX / UI design, as well as making it work. Parent is arguing that designers should, well you know, do what they're trained to do do, and design, while engineers should then engineer those designs.I very much doubt it was an engineer who came up with the scroll wheel idea for iPod. Yes, sure, engineers made it work, and did a great job of doing so, and that's how it should be. And quite what case construction has to do with software engineering escapes me.

Yes, with the caveat that when you sign up with Optus for ADSL you typically have to enter into a 24 month contract with the vendor, so might be a bit of a wait until you can switch.

AMERICA - FUCK YEAH!!!

Thanks folks

I'm thinking you're an idiot.

Can I just ask of you, and Parent, if you see any significant impact on performance running Lookout please?

Meta-bias.
