Stay close to the beach? Good idea! There are only crocodiles, jellyfish, cone shells, blue ringed octopus, sharks, spiders, snakes, bees, various dangerous species of fish, dingos, and the risk of severe dehydration and sunburn there. You should be fairly safe from the cane toads there.

Ever had the feeling that computers should be white plastic and brushed aluminium, or that your mouse has a far greater number of buttons than you're comfortable with?

Classic Shell helps to fix those issues.

Can I make the noise for my electric car with a large-bore v8 engine?

What about a text editor? I hear that EMACs has one now...

The response from the general Australian public: "who are you, and what have you done with our politicians?"

The most important question to ask in the interest of keeping a fair and balanced presentation:

Does Facebook have a shoe-throwing app?

I'd personally prefer to return the copyrights to the artists.

Maybe it's time to start an exclusively online music label and distribution service?

But coconuts float already, don't they?

Actually, I'd prefer not only to see it happen more often, but striving for higher, and better. Competitions, and most of all, kids involved.

Experiments are a great way to get people interested in science. We don't need to see it reported all the time, but it would be great to see the concept continued and expanded upon.

It is most likely a Western Electric Model 34A "Audiphone" Carbon Hearing Aid, which was commercially available from 1925. The lady in question was probably talking into it to adjust the volume, or see if it was still working.

Hooray for the publicity grab!

Not in customs, no. The only things you might get charged for in customs is Kiddie Porn or explosives. As with weapons (including lasers) and food, customs recognise that what the Australian Government calls "Extreme Porn" is legal in other countries, and as long as you hand it over on the way in, it's all good.

The whole point of customs is to stop the stuff coming into the country - that's all. As long as you declare it and hand it over, that's as far as it goes.

Declaring to customs != bringing in. If you declare it, the customs officer checks it, takes what's illegal, and you continue on your way. If you don't declare it and the customs officer finds it, it's an $11,000 fine. If you don't declare it, get it through, and then get caught with it, it's up to $275,000 and 10 years jail, and possibly the $11,000 for not declaring it on top of that.

You don't have to turn it invisible. A simple Somebody Else's Problem field is much simpler to set up.

Because people clearly buy hybrid cars for track use.
