SMH have an article about ZGeek's defamation lawsuit. There's an update on ZGeek's site too, altho it's not entirely clear where things stand re future action about the same complaint. But now, some even worse news. ZGeek is abandoning Australia. ZGeek as a company has been shut down and any future of the site conducting business in Australia is just not going to happen until the laws change as they offer no protection for internet content hosts based in Australia.
ACMA has re-launched its Cybersmart web site. The front page of the Cybersmart.gov.au web site now directs users to several sub-sites based on the user - with one site specific to "kids", another specific to "young kids", another for parents, another for teenage users, and a "schools gateway" for teachers.
Qantas recently refused to show an ad by GetUp parodying internet censorship, because they don't allow political advertising onboard. I know a lot of people are annoyed about this, but I don't really see a conspiracy. It's close enough to a political ad that they didn't want it. Fair enough.

PCPerspective reckon there's some issues delaying the availability of SATA 6G. Gigabyte is also apparently taking the same actions: they are pulling the Marvell 88SE9123 SATA 6G chips from all of their P55 motherboards. In fact, many Gigabyte offerings were to have TWO Marvell chips on them supporting 4 channels of SATA 6G - obviously now that is out the window. Initially when contacting the motherboard vendor, they seemed optimistic that it would be able to fix the problem before the P55 launch window. That apparently has changed in the last 48 hours and Gigabyte made the decision to pull the feature.
