The Illawarra Mercury ran an article on the weekend entitled "IT tipped to boom in Illawarra", the basic premise being that as manufacturing winds down, Information Technology and Communications are tagged to grow and fill the gap.
Excellent, I personally think that Wollongong and the Illawarra makes a perfect spot to setup an IT shop if you want to be close to sydney without the costs of being based in Sydney.

To whom it may concern,
I have money. It is good money, in fact, being australian money, it is both pretty and hard wearing money. I would like to give you that money in exchange for the music you sell, the films and video productions you make and the books you write.
But I can't.

Google Plus is dead! cries Farhad Manjoo in Slate. It's chance to compete with Facebook has come and gone and thus GooglePlus is effectively a dead man walking, destined to join Googles other social projects such as Buzz or Wave (which wasn't a social project but the media do like to pretend that it was).

I use both Android and iDevices, my phone is a Nexus S running the latest Gingerbread (2.3.6) and I own an iPod Touch and a first generation iPad. I'm also an avid consumer of the ABC online services, mostly streaming ABC News 24 in the kitchen and accessing the ABCs large library of video and audio podcasts.
However generally I don't use my android devices to do this, why? Because the ABC has concentrated all its mobile efforts into building iDevice compatible apps. I've added screen caps from both the Android and iDevice apps below:

I haven't blogged for a little while so I thought I would do a quick catchup.
First up I'm in the process of starting up a new media project. This one's not going to be as focused as Open Source On The Air, instead it's going to be something that allows me to meet interesting people and ask them questions about a wide range of different subjects. I'm currently gathering material for the first episode (which is going to have a focus on the Australian Space community).

So one of the big announcements at this years Google IO was the release of Angry Birds for Chrome. For those of you not in the know, Angry Birds is a game that started out on the iPhone and has come to represent the sort of simple, yet addictive game that has been so successful on mobile devices. Using a catapult you launch a series of birds with different talents at constructions filled with green pigs who have stolen the birds eggs.

So, in my ongoing desire for playing with shiny convergance toys I thought I would have a look at the the Samsung Internet TV SDK.
Bleh.
The first thing that annoyed was the Windows only requirement. But sucking it up and switching to my windows partition I tried to install it.
Bleh. Required a full reboot of the system to finish intalling it. It's 2011 people, not even Microsoft makes you do that anymore. Hell the only people who make you reboot after a software installation anymore seems to be Apple.
