I can't belive people still think we need to spend billions laying cable when in bum**** Victoria (puckapunyal ) when everybody on base is using 4g and you can still get 35mb download speeds.

I agree! Here I am in Pt Lincoln tonight on 4G pulling 13mb download when at home in Strathalbyn I can barely get 2mb on my ADSL2+ and by the end of the year I will have NBN access that will provide me with more speed than I probably need...why all the expense dropping that fibre cable in the ground when we should be going wireless...

And here I am in an inner city suburb with adsl1 and in a mobile deadspot. Yeah 4g works if you are near a tower. Wireless has it's use but we don't have the frequencies to cover everyone and everywhere. Be warned contention ratios will max out wireless all too soon.

Same.....for some reason when we travel through Ascott Vale in Melbourne, we loose mobile phone coverage of any network.

Bizarre...!

Cure for cancer. I mean really, it's got to be the most prevalent disease on the planet. You would think all the eggheads would have worked it out by now

I can't believe with all the current technology in hybrid cars (Toyota Prius) that they are still unable to do the speed limit.  All of them seem to go 10 below in the right lane...

[Darcy7]

well at least commercial space tourism is a step closer:

Virgin Galactic's SpaceShipTwo rocket plane was set loose on Thursday over California's Mojave Desert for a gliding test flight — and although its hybrid rocket motor wasn't lit up, the pilots checked out the propulsion system's plumbing for a future blast.

I wouldn't hold your breath on that if the Govt has their way, apparently we don't need it

The same reason there will never be a cure for any disease, the drug companies, the ones with the money don't
want to cure anything, they just want to develop expensive drugs that can control the disease and sell them to
you for the rest of your life. The days of a researcher working away to find a cure and then giving it to the world
are gone, everything has to be patentable or there not interested. Why do you think there was such a race to
map the human genome, private enterprise wanted to get there first and copywright and patent it.

There's simply no money in a one off pill that would cure cancer for example, so it will never happen unless
some dedicated privately funded researcher finds it and gives it to the world.

I can't believe there hasn't been a mobile phone disabler installed in all modern cars to automatically turn off mobile phones once your car has been turned on. Your phone could still ring however, you wouldn't be able to answer it until you have parked and turned off your car. How many lives would that save?

Actually the problem is that i cant believe that in drug manufacturing that they will not accept computer modelling and you still have to go through 25 odd years of human and animal trials before FDA approval. The reason why nothing like cancer or diabeties cures get done is because the payoff under the current approval regieme is so far away no investor will go the distance

I can't believe it took the US 10 years to find Osama bin laden & yet every time I walk into the pub swmbo rings & asks where I am. I also can't understand why the terrorists all have mobiles but they still manage the beheading of a jour no

We didn't - biggest con job of the century.  They filmed two men in a studio just to say they beat the Russians. Why didn't the Russians ever do it - because they couldn't.

THIS is worth watching

because if everyone was using wireless and no-one was using fixed line broadband, your wireless pipe (and it is just a pipe) would be really full, really quickly and your 13mb download would become a 1mb download just as quickly.

wireless cannot compete with fibre-based technologies.  it's physics, pure and simple.

you might not need the speed that fibre can bring, but business, education and health are three pretty big areas that will gobble up that speed and put it to good use.

why must we go back?  why is that the theorists rebuttal?

so if it is fake, why is it that no-one, out of the thousands of people that were involved in this project, has said anything to the contrary?  in the world we live in, it seems strange that no-one has come out and categorically proved that the landing was a hoax.

there is plenty of factual evidence that we did go there, but no factual evidence that it was a hoax.  plenty of theories, but they are just that: theories.

give me some factual proof that is it a hoax and i might reconsider.

Apperantly Samsung has an app what does exactly this.
