Because if at first you don't succeed, ask for even more pdfs O.O

Sounds like he's doing this for attention...

Yeah this is really interesting. Especially because Apple are known for overpricing things. Does anyone else sort of get the feeling that they are losing money on the sales and making it back in app store? If they were doing that - it's a completely different to their usual strategy.

This is awesome news. Competition is good for us!

Unfortunately this seems pretty typical of this government. They like to make policies up on the spot and those policies don't have any thought put into them. We've had stimulus spending that - helped keep the economy going. They didn't actually plan what they were going to spend on though and they never put proper policies in place and we ended up spending way too much on stuff that didn't work.

I especially like the opt-out section:

51. This policy is subject to the process for administration of opt-outs from Whole-ofGovernment arrangements.
52. Initial opt-out considerations will be factored into the transition plan and are expected to
show how alignment to the policy will be achieved as part of the transition plan. Claims for
opting out will not be considered during the transition phase.
53. When seeking an opt-out, an agency will need to include a remediation plan to detail how it
will return to the WofG COE policy. Opt-outs are limited to a maximum of 3 years, after
which the original business case will be reassessed to ensure it is still valid.
54. While it is recognised that agencies may have a need to develop separate SOE images, it is
expected that these images will comply with the standards set out for the COE to ensure
that agencies can still share data and services in a seamless manner.

Whoa shite! Opting out is a massive process and has to be reviewed every 3 years.............

hmmm.....

Ooh! This looks very interesting from an Australian Internet filter perspective. Google recently replied very abruptly when Stephen Conroy said he would like Google to start filtering Youtube for Australian visitors.

I would love to see the US start to pressure Australia as well!

Well... I would like that phone with android installed on it ;)

Yeah, IE really is screwing us all around. It will all work out though, chromeframe might end up being the gears replacement ;)

Meanwhile, it will be very very good when google finally enables html5 stuff for docs.google.com and gmail. I use prerelease browsers and gears just doesn't work for me anyway. Looking forward to that part of the future!

Time to switch to thorium! *Seriously*, time to switch to thorium..

Massive wi-fi mesh? In fact, India already does something very similar for a very long time.

Isn't it great that so many of our mobiles already have wi-fi hardware!?

Just a quick note for clarification, only gecko 1.9.2 and firefox built on that version of gecko (firefox 3.6?) will lack support for 2000 and xp. The development (3.5) and current version (3) will likely still be supported and still receive updates.

I actually agree with this move - it adds time/bloat/etc for each platform you want to support. By choosing to drop some of the less used platforms, assuming by then xp won't be used much, you can really save on development time/etc.

The industries are hardly failed. Perhaps 'failing', but even failing might be too strong a word.

The 'failed' status is propaganda spread by those industries so that they don't have to change with the times. We shouldn't be reinforcing their marketing.
