Caveat: The “legitimacy” of this may or may not be questionable – many claim that by merely attempting it I have broken Apple’s EULA for Snow Leopard, etc. etc. etc. Personally, I doubt it – I paid RETAIL for my copy of Snow Leopard, and it’s up to me what I do with it.
Until Apple release a small form factor machine (10″) or a workable tablet, this satisfies a personal need for a small portable machine.
Having said that, I’m happy to provide the instructions, but the risks are all yours..:-)
Leaving out the problems and fights I have had with Telstra over the years, they are really NOT responsible for the state of telecommunications in Australia – our elected luddites in Canberra are.
When the Australian Communications and Media Authority was formed, way back in the mists of time, they asked for public submissions – and I sent them one that was soundly ignored. Only NOW do they realise that I was right.
When Kraft announced that their new “lighter” Vegemite was going to be called “iSnack 2.0″, they didn’t expect the public backlash against the Apple-esque “i” moniker. Or so they would have you believe.
iSnack 2.0
It was a deliberate, and very clever, marketing ploy to garner media coverage for the new product – and regardless of what you think of the taste of the “new” Vegemite, the campaign worked.
Media outlets all over the country have raved about the new taste, and the stupidity of the name.
People even had t-shirts printed, expressing their profound disgust for the name.
iSnack 2.0 hater ??
Come on people – it’s just a spread for your toast.
Be sure and cancel your credit cards before you die! This is so priceless and so easy to see happening – customer service, being what it is today!(FYI: ANZ is one of Australia’s biggest and least popular banks !!)
A lady died this past January, and ANZ bank billed her for February and March for their annual service charges on her credit card, and Then added late fees and interest on the monthly charge. The balance had been $0.00, now is somewhere around $-60.00.
A family member placed a call to the ANZ Bank:
IKEA, well-known purveyor of stylish Swedish furniture, have decided to diversify into the automotive market. I received this photo early this morning of their first foray into this competitive and (some would say) cut-throat market.
Will it succeed ? Well, I didn’t think Hyundai ever would when Alan Bond brought them into Australia over 20 years ago….
This is one of THE best examples I have ever seen;

Interesting, if LOOOOOOONG, Youtube video about Google Wave. WTF, 90 minutes ? Well, I guess when you own Youtube the 10 minute rule doesn’t apply..:-)

We all have them – the ones who want the radio on all the time, the ones who talk loud enough for the whole office to hear on the phone, etc. My pet hate is ones that SING incessantly when they have NO TALENT. Here’s a way to deal with this;
Ah, that feels better…
Read how one enterprising individual convinced DELL to do the right thing and refund his money for licences that he rejected.
Gwa / Get a refund for your Microsoft Windows license.
Interesting to note that he was claiming the RETAIL cost back, when DELL pay an OEM price for it.
Anyone else with successful refund stories ?
