Australia Censors The Net

Posted by Mr Butterscotch as Software Features, Tech Companies, The Web, Wireless

From January the 20th new laws will come into effect after the South Australian government voted to put new censorship laws on the net. This will mainly affect entertainment companies who sell content but may affect content already on the world wide web. Essentially, content providers will have to check the age of a user where necessary, i.e. whether a person is above 15 or 18, depending on the material being viewed. The Australian Communications and Media Authority will be able to force providers to remove content as well as links being deleted. The restrictions apply to chatrooms, websites and mobile phone content. It has been stated that there will be an ‘opt out’ option for the restrictions, ...

The Amazing MagSafe Power Adapter

Posted by DummyGeekGurl as Apple, Featured Articles, Hardware, Hardware and Gadget Features, Mac, Notebooks, Tech Companies

There is one more reason why I love my MacBook, even if its 512MB RAM gives me a headache at times: the MagSafe Power Adapter kicks "hopelessly ordinary" laptop adapter butt! Mac users are aware that the beauty of the MagSafe Power Adapter lies in its ability to seamlessly come off one's MacBook with a quiet click, saving the Mac user a few months of heartache had his or her MacBook come crashing to the ground and, though highly unlikely, rendered beyond repair. And yet I only realized how truly amazing the MagSafe adapter was when one time I awoke to my floor becoming an indoor mini-pool after an hour of rain, which fell upon my world when I was deep in REM.

iPhone production levels to be bumped 100 percent

Posted by Rogue as Apple, Phones, Tech Companies, Voice

If success in the gadgets market can be measured solely on demand then it would be safe to assume that Apple's iPhone is a runaway smash. The demand for Apple's so called "jesus phone" is so great that ithe company has already laid down plans to increase the level of production of iPhones by one hundred per cent. The said plan seeks to produce 2.7 million iPhones just for the last quarter, which is significantly larger than the original 1.54 million target. With the bump in the level of production, it is being seen that iPhones produced for this year will reach 4.8 million iPhones, which is markedly more than the 3.6 million ...

iPhone unlocked!

Posted by Rogue as Apple, Cellphones, Mobility, Security, Tech Companies

It was only a matter of time, really... Hackers have finally succeeded in unlocking the Apple iPhone, ending AT&T's exclusivity for the product that has become the biggest gadget must have of the year. The dubious distinction of unlocking the iPhone has been earned by the team from iPhoneSIMFree.com. As proof of their success they posted pictures of the unlocked phone where it can be clearly seen that it is operating under the T-Mobile network. The team, said to be composed of six people, claimed that they worked on unlocking the iPhone since launch day and are quite proud of their feat. The group, however, have not indicated if they plan on releasing ...

iMac Aluminum revealed

Posted by Rogue as Apple, Computers, Desktops, Hardware, Mac, Software, Tech Companies

One of the things that I admire about Apple is that they never fail to release products that make you go "I want to buy that NOW!" I blame the near diabolical mind of Jonathan Ive and his team of industrial designers for consistently coming out with such mindblowing designs that make you want to whip out your credit card even without knowing the specs of the damn thing. That tradition of giving us the WOW factor is still very alive when the company officially revealed the iMac Aluminum, ending months of speculation and rumors about the product. The iMac aluminum comes in a, you guessed it, brushed aluminum finish and ...

Wii Fit aims to make you sweat

Posted by Rogue as Consoles, Games, Gaming, Nintendo, Security, Tech Companies, Wii

I've been working at home for the better part of a decade now. A lot of my friends tell me that they envy the fact that I can earn money while staying at home. They then cite all of the attendant benefits of telecommuting. I have to agree it does sound like a good setup, except for one glaring, undeniable downside to this whole gig. I have gotten FAT. Working at home means the most strenuous exercise you will probably get is that short walk to the fridge or the bathroom. I have so much work that going to the gym is not even an option. That's why I think the Nintendo Wii ...

MADtv Parody: Apple iRack

Posted by Jhay as Apple, Random Thoughts, TV, Tech Companies

The issue of the Iraq war and how things over there have become uglier and uglier for American troops, the current Bush Administration and the over-all image of the United States worldwide have been the subject of much discussions from traditional media, the blogosphere, the punditocracy and the public at large. However, all this talk has been confined to the real of mainstream media and news. The techies and geeks of the 'Web 2.0 world' seemed to have been on the sidelines and have not contributed much to the discussions. Probably because there are still that do not understand the over-all picture. It's not because they're totally apolitical, maybe the subject has been less appealing to the geek and techie world because ...

Green Apple is on the way

Posted by Jhay as Apple, Computer Peripherals, Computers, Tech Companies, Tech News

With the amount of craze built around the public sale of the much anticipated iPhone currently dominating the headlines and RSS feeds of the internet, another timely news that would even boost the love wave Apple has been getting this past few weeks. greenerapple

International eco-watchers Greenpeace has praised Apple, Inc. for its recent moves and efforts to make its electronic products cleaner and more friendly to mother nature. Greenpeace has moved Apple up its green electronics rankings thanks to Steve Job's promises to phase out PVCs and other chemical nasties from its products, but the top spot goes to Nokia. Greenpeace takes an aggressive tone in criticizing electronics manufacturers for e-waste, stating: 'The electronics ranking guide has been our ...

Adobe-Microsoft-Sun Battle in the RIA Arena: Which to Choose?

Posted by Sophia as Computers, Gadzooki News, Microsoft, Mobility, Tech Companies, Tech News, The Web

If you've been using your computer for sometime now (what an understatement!), you might have heard at least one of the three big companies, Adobe, Microsoft, and Sun. Your first computer was probably a PC---a DOS- or Windows-based personal computer---so you've probably heard of Microsoft already. As for the other two, I've become aware of them about the same time, during high school: Adobe specializes in graphics software, with Acrobat and Photoshop as its most familiar products. Sun, on the other hand, aside from being a notable hardware company, it is also behind Java, one of the most popular programming languages ever. The RIA Battle A few years ago it would be difficult to see how ...

Advertisements in Games

Posted by Mr Butterscotch as Gaming, Random Thoughts, Tech Companies

How do you feel about ads in games? Is this a worst-case scenario or the way we are heading? There are obviously 1,001 ways to have advertising in a game, some of which is totally 'natural'. For instance, you couldn't have PGR3 without the Ferraris (a form of advertising in itself), but by the same token it isn't intrusive, but rather an intrinsic part of what makes up the game.

Similarly, the latest Fifa 07 features dynamic crowds, pitches and hoardings. Hoardings are no doubt paid for by the advertisers with real money - ...
