Mike over at Somebody Think of the Children has posted an update on the Australian Government's "clean feed" filter initiative. This is as close we have come to confirming early information that no Australian will be able to completely opt-out of the Government's clean feed.
Bit-tech have published the September entries for their Mod of the Month contest. This month's competition has a little bit of everything, from crazy wooden curves to an IKEA table - so there's a little something for everyone!
Wal-Mart will be shutting down their digital rights management servers on October 9. Those foolish or unlucky enough to purchase DRM-laced music from the store now need to burn all of their tracks to audio CDs—which, fortunately, they can buy at Wal-Mart.
Sol Trujillo is claiming that the transformation of Telstra from a telephone company in dramatic decline into a media communications company can be attributed to his arrival in 2005. Speaking in London overnight at the Financial Times Conference, Making Transformations Work, Mr Trujillo described the transformation as a work in progress but said it had already proven its success by "delivering world leading performance".
Fudzilla is reporting that Intel plans to launch a new cheap quad core on November 30th. It will launch Core 2 Quad Q8300 and this new CPU will work at 2.5GHz at FSB 1333 and it comes with 4MB cache.
Apparently sources in the game development and publishing community are suggesting that a successor to the Nintendo Wii will be on the market "by 2011." Unlike previous console transitions from Nintendo, the new system will be presented as a true successor to the Wii, and is being dubbed by those that have seen the presentation as "Wii HD."
AnandTech tested the 2.1 firmware update for the iPhone 3G to see if there was any improvement in its battery life. The 2.0 and later firmwares apparently fixed many of the source issues behind these problems, and the most recent firmware update (2.1) supposedly increased battery life. I just happened to apply that update before heading out of the house for the entirety of the day and most of the evening, so I got a reasonable chance to try it out.
