Keating Economics

Kids, you just have to see this; it's not our Australian Paul Keating, but an advisor (briber?) of McCain.
It's from Dave Winer's blog.

More funding for devil research

The University of Tasmania has been given more funding to allow further studies into the deadly facial tumour disease afflicting the Tasmanian Devil.

I thought I'd better post this because we don't usually get much news about Tasmanian devils.

Quick action on abalone virus praised

A quick biosecurity response to the presence of a deadly abalone disease in Tasmania is being credited for saving the $100 million dollar industry.

I thought I'd better post this because we don't usually get much news about abalone.

ABC flagship radio shows axed

The ABC is dumping a raft of radio programs as job cuts begin to bite.

Aaaargh! This is awful!
Check out what's to go:

ABC Radio National has announced several programs will be axed as part of major changes to its 2009 schedule.

Among those listed to go are the Religion Report, Media Report, Sports Factor, The Ark, Perspective and In Conversation.

The shows will be variously replaced by a program that looks at the history of news events, another that will focus on current world trends of globalisation, communication technologies and the shifting cultural, social, political and economic responses.

Another replacement program will feature Julie Rigg's film, culture reviews, and interviews. This will replace Sports Factor on Fridays.

Radio National manager Dr Jane Connors says current programs Radio Eye and Street Stories will also finish later next year, but she says the changes allow Radio National to "convert a small number of positions into roles with a stronger online and digital editorial focus".

While I'm not particularly committed to religion or sport, The Religion Report and Sports Factor are among my favorite listening. Stephen Crittenden of The Religion Report is such an intelligent broadcaster and interviewer. And Radio Eye is wonderful listening, although I always listen to the podcast for high quality stereo rather than the AM broadcast. I'll miss In Conversation too.

Windows 7 to be Called Windows 7

Amazing!

No aliens have landed. Apple shows new versions of MacBooks. Apple goes to the LED displays finally. Microsoft finally gives Windows 7 a name! LCD to be huge market by 2012. Doing Google searches may improve brain function. Yeah, right. Free wireless broadband takes a turn. Have patch releases sunk Microsoft stock? Researcher says yes. Google web accelerator not working. Samsung plans to re-enter the USA PC market. God, why?
