A Melbourne man has been surprised by a $191,000 phone bill. Usually when we hear about this kind of thing the telco waives it, but in this case they're taking him to court. But as Mr Beveridge later found out, a monstrous bill had already been accumulated within those 20 hours. He claims there were a total of 4484 calls made with an average duration of 10 minutes within the 20 hour period before the account was disabled.
A few people pointed out the more positive news that various Telstra mobile plans are going to get increased data allowances. Looks like Telstra is gearing up for the mobile streaming revolution! The telco might not be unmetering Netflix on mobile, but it is throwing in loads of bonus data and Presto subscriptions for customers on all sorts of plans.
As we settle into our new world of data retention, it's worrying to be told that the Australian immigration department accidentally leaked details of world leaders at the G20 summit. The Guardian can reveal an employee of the agency inadvertently sent the passport numbers, visa details and other personal identifiers of all world leaders attending the summit to the organisers of the Asian Cup football tournament. The United States president, Barack Obama, the Russian president, Vladimir Putin, the German chancellor, Angela Merkel, the Chinese president, Xi Jinping, the Indian prime minister, Narendra Modi, the Japanese prime minister, Shinzo Abe, the Indonesian president, Joko Widodo, and the British prime minister, David Cameron, were among those who attended the Brisbane summit in November and whose details were exposed.
Techgage have a recap of the 2015 GTC. The 2015 GPU Technology Conference proved to be an exciting event with a number of big announcements and a slew of other cool bits of information. In this article, we’re going to take an in-depth look at the biggest announcements made at the show, as well as some of the lesser talked-about items that are still worth highlighting.
PCPerspective looked at early DX12 performance. ate last week, Microsoft approached me to see if I would be interested in working with them and with Futuremark on the release of the new 3DMark API Overhead Feature Test. Of course I jumped at the chance, with DirectX 12 being one of the hottest discussion topics among gamers, PC enthusiasts and developers in recent history. Microsoft set us up with the latest iteration of 3DMark and the latest DX12-ready drivers from AMD, NVIDIA and Intel. From there, off we went. LegionHW shared their experience also.
