Macbeta sent word of mass piracy lawsuits coming to Australia. Walker confirmed the company had contacted all major ISPs in Australia seeking information on users who had allegedly infringed copyright online, with Kill the Irishman being just one of the films which the company was tracking and Lightning being just one of the clients which the company is representing locally. The company’s requests appear to be targeting a large number of Australians, with some 9,000 locals alleged to have downloaded Kill the Irishman alone. EFA and PPA are not impressed.
Telstra have officially denounced some iPhone 5 ads on Whirlpool as fakes. Whoever put them together went to a lot of trouble to make them seem authentic, with the images including dated filenames, accurate use of Telstra’s new colours and even printing guides.
Internode have release revised NBN plan pricing, giving a glipse of speeds and data allowances to expect. Since July 2011, when Internode became Australia's first broadband provider to announce its NBN prices, NBNCo has made significant revisions to its Concentrating Virtual Circuit (CVC) pricing model that address major cost overheads previously present during the ramp-up period of the NBN commercial rollout.
The Federal Government has welcomed a discussion paper from the Australian Law Reform Commission, for the National Classification Scheme Review. The Government is committed to modernising Australia's classification system to address the challenges created by rapidly changing media technology. The ALRC last reviewed classification standards 20 years ago. That review helped to develop the cooperative scheme between the Commonwealth and the States and Territories that we have today.
TaXy DriVar noticed a PCI GeForce GT 520, possibly of interest for building multi-GPU Folding@Home machines. Yes, believe it or not, PCI graphics cards are still a thing. Zotac has just announced one: a PCI version of the GeForce GT 520. The card is also available with a PCIe x1 interface, for folks who happen to be out of PCIe x16 slots yet still need an additional GPU. I'm thinking a GeForce 520 won't really make it worthwhile performance wise for Folding, though.
Google have launched a beer. I fizz with delight to inform you that the Googlies have entered into a partnership with the Dogfish Head brewery that has produced a beer called URKontinent.
