CeBIT Australia opens today in Darling Harbour in Sydney, thanks JoeJoeinc. CeBIT Australia is a 3 day Exhibition and Conference covering the full spectrum of business technologies.
SearchEngineLand have posted their thoughts on Wolfram Alpha, thanks SiliconAngel. Where’s all this information coming from? Unlike Google or a traditional search engine, Wolfram Alpha isn’t crawling the web and “scraping” information, a process where you try to extract data from a web page. Instead, it’s working with a variety of providers to gather public and private information.
From Revenger: Now that Windows 7 RC is out and everyone is in the full swing of testing. You might want to check out the Windows 7 game compatibility list in the wiki and add every game you test to the list even if they work perfectly to let others know your experiences.
The Government is using the NBN to encourage Telstra to split, thanks Daviesh. THE federal Government will offer Telstra the chance to buy up to 49 per cent of its national broadband network, if it agrees to voluntarily hive off its wholesale arm.
A proposed cyberbullying bill in the USA is worrying some people. According to the text, individuals who bully others via any electronic means could face fines, two years in prison, or both. This, of course, could include those nasty text messages you sent to your ex on Saturday night, the questionable e-mail you sent to your brother, or those forum posts you made in which you called for someone who liked the new Star Trek movie to jump off a building.
Rainwulf spotted this in-game footage leaked from DNF. Again, its quite unfortunate to see Duke go like this, maybe they should considering selling the game to another developer to finish up or let the public create the ultimate Duke Nukem. Techgage meanwhile pause to remember 3DRealms and Apogee Software.
Over on Tech Report there's a blog post about Windows 7's XP Mode. The XP mode beta is now publicly available alongside the Windows 7 release candidate. I was eager to take it for a spin, because I regularly use Virtual PC in Vista for a similar purpose.
Peter sent in this WoW Pod. It's every game addict's dream and mum and dad's worst nightmare - a self-contained World of Warcraft pod that includes a computer, toilet and kitchen for the 24/7 gamer. Ideally suited to Facebook too, no doubt. More pics here.
