Sciby noticed this cool stabilised camera video. This short was shot with the The "MoVI" - a digital 3-axis gyro-stabilized handheld camera gimbal. The completely silent device weighs under 3.5 pounds bare and can be operated solo, or with the help of a second "gimbal" operator with a joystick to pull off some incredible moves.
Facebook have revealed their Facebook Home app, which seems to take over your phone and make the whole thing social. Once installed on the handset, it replaces the lock screen and home screen with Cover feed that streams status updates and photos from friends.

iiNet had a very popular April Fools this year. Turns out that after the April Fool’s Day dust settled, people checking their accounts have found that the ISP was, in-fact, telling the truth. Not about the system fault, mind, but about the fact that it made everything its users browsed or downloaded that day count as “Freezone” content, which doesn’t affect your monthly usage cap.
