The Senate Wednesday voted to preserve net neutrality, with three Republicans joining all of the chamber’s Democrats and independents to block a Federal Communications Commission plan to undo Obama-era rules governing the internet.

There's an interesting video here where a few Aussies go to the electronics markets in Shenzen. Unsurprisingly it's a geek paradise! Finally, if you live on the south-eastern coast of Australia you should have a good view of the ISS this evening. Issued for Thursday 17th May 2018. Be sure to look up in the sky on Thursday night shortly after sunset and show the kids! The ISS or International Space Station will make a visible pass directly over South East Australia for 6 minutes at each location. PS: It's Yanny. :)
