If you use the LastPass password manager, you should update to the latest version which patches a major security issue. How bad could it be? The bug could have let hackers breach your account, taking your passwords and changing things in your account. The vulnerability was in the LastPass browser extension, a service that can auto-fill usernames and passwords into log-in pages. Late Friday, the company said the problem was fixed. Now, users should make sure they're using the most up-to-date version of the security software.
Former NBN boss Mike Quigley has detailed his thoughts on how the NBN went wrong. In a detailed interview with iTWire, Mike Quigley refrained from mentioning names. But he was quite categorical in his assertions – and if anyone should know, then he should. Quigley also said that the network would have to be upgraded after completion, at a cost of many billions of dollars. He said there was no practical way to turn back the clock now, and that he was not surprised that the NBN Co was not committing to stopping the FttN rollout and replacing it with FttDP.
Meanwhile SMH have a guide to getting ready for NBN if the rollout is heading to your area. Once you know when the NBN will arrive check with your current provider to see what line speeds are available. After that, shop around. If you've been with the same provider for a long time you may be stuck on a legacy contract that isn't even offered anymore, which could mean you are paying too much.

So Outlast 2 is not banned in Australia, it turns out. According to the studio, the original submission to the Classification Board contained “the final game code and a video file for reference taken from an Alpha version of the game”. It’s standard practice to include videos like this, because – obviously – the Board cannot sit down and play through an entire video game before making a decision. However, in this case, the video was from an older build, and its content was “not representative of the final game”.
