Well lately on Delimiter, there has been a lot of talk about the NBN and what will form this National Broadband Network. Now yes, I am a NBN supporter, for obvious reasons. We all know Australia isn’t renowned for its internet access and this can be accredited to many things, but something needs to be done about it.

OPINION: Is the iPad 3 display revolutionary?
The iPad 3 display. What some might say is the defining feature of the third generation Apple tablet. It may be one of the main features of this latest edition to Apple’s product line, but is it any good? Can it be classified as revolutionary?
GALLERY: Hands on with the iPad 3
Well I got the opportunity to play with an iPad 3, so immediately I grabbed my camera and set to work. I do apologise for the poor lighting of the photos, and I intend on taking some nicer photos at a later date. But for now, enjoy what you have either already experienced, or just plainly don’t care about.
Apple Reliving The Glory Days.
Apple must have been tinkering with their website, because now the normal Australian site is back up. This morning, the Beatles announcement page was up, in place of the normal site. But now, order has been restored. Phew.
Twitter To Be Shut Down By May 1
This isn’t an error. Twitter today announced that by May 1, the famous, worldwide service will have been shut down. This move has come after a string of reports claiming that Twitter has become to powerful for its own good. The reports claim that Twitter has been able to control everything in peoples lifes from what they wear, to what they want to call their child.
Logitech stealing Apple’s swagger
We all have seen/experienced Apple’s ever so ambiguous product announcement invitations, yes? And they seem to have worked well, especially at sparking off rumours amongst the associated fan-boys. Now Logitech Australia has uploaded quite a poor quality image to their Facebook page, which I think is a copy of Apple’s marketing strategy, specifically ‘the new iPad‘.
Vodafone unveil new iPad pricing
Today, Vodafone unveiled their pricing/plans for the new iPad. They are the first of the three major Australian carriers to release this information. Unfortunately, you currently aren’t able to order/pre-order any of these plans through Vodafone, though this should be possible soon with the imminent release of ‘the new iPad’.
Raspberry Pi update, possible release this Wednesday
You remember the Raspberry Pi right? It was that $25 computer that was powered by mobile phone ARM processor and is the size of a credit card. Well all those who follow @Raspberry_Pi on Twitter and are subscribed to their mailing list will have received word that there is a “big (and very positive) announcement” coming Wednesday morning at 6am GMT time (5PM AEST).
Nokia N9 hacked to run Ice Cream Sandwich
Sunday afternoon. It is hot outside and in. I am at the computer surfing when an interesting image was re-tweeted by Steve Troughton-Smith. The image was of a Nokia N9 running the, what you might say, famous app, Talking Tom. The image caught my attention because of the Android Ice Cream Sandwich navigation buttons on the bottom of the screen which means Android 4.0 is now running on the Nokia N9. Alexey Roslyakov, aka @drunkdebugger, is the person respondsible for this hack.
