Supplanter spotted more detail on the Copyright Act inquiry. The Australian Law Reform Commission (ALRC) has released the terms of reference for its inquiry into the Copyright Act.

There's a bit of angst about a recent Cisco upgrade which seems to be forcing people to use a cloud configuration, and also has some worrying data-collection possibilities. More info here.
Gizmodo checked out some high-tech new WA Police Cars. In this brief video, we get a look at the touchscreen console at the centre of the vehicle’s dashboard that does everything from fire the sirens, right through to scanning registration plates to see if the driver in the car has a license or not.
Samsung's Galaxy Nexus has been banned in the USA, following on a ban on one of their tablet PCs. Apple and Samsung, the world's two largest consumer electronics corporations, are waging war through the courts of several countries, accusing each other of patent violations as they vie for supremacy in the mobile market. The decision on Friday by judge Lucy Koh in San Jose, California, comes days after she placed a pre-trial ban on sales of Samsung's Galaxy Tab 10.1, a tablet computer that runs on Google's Android and competes with the iPad.
Google have given a preview of their Google Now personal assistant service. The service, which will roll out as part of the next update to Google's mobile operating system, will do things like remind an Android owner that they have a lunch date -- but also who it is with, how to get there and when they should leave, based on current traffic congestion. And based on your past Google searches, it will keep you up to date on flight information and sports scores.
Also new from Google is their Compute Engine. Run your large-scale computing workloads on Linux virtual machines hosted on Google's infrastructure.
A NZ judge has decided that the search warrants for Kim Dotcom and MegaUpload were unlawful.

Brazilian prisoners can work time off their sentences by providing pedal power for streetlights in the town. The prison has offered to shave time off of prisoners' sentences if they'll charge batteries using special bikes and their own two legs.
AMD are claiming an increased focus on quality for their new Catalyst drivers. AMD Catalyst™ 12.6 represents a significant milestone in AMD’s driver development and planning. The list of resolved issues at the end of this post is certainly representative of our continued investment in quality, but it’s symbolic of a deeper systemic change. The truth is that our new driver cadence—releasing drivers as needed—gives us tremendous flexibility to provide releases that are worth upgrading to. By this I mean that you’ll begin to see meatier updates, with a single driver containing a number of fixes and enhancements that could have been deployed over several releases with our old schedule.
