The Razer Arctosa gaming keyboard we saw back in October last year has just been released in Australia. And while the US release was priced at $US40, the Aussie gadget tax (that wonderful way that tech in Australia always seems to get pushed higher and higher) pushed that figure up to $100 locally.
One day while riding in his friend’s car, Evan Reynolds’ arm got ripped off, and he became one of the first people to score a fully functioning Luke-Skywalker-style robotic I-Limb from Touch Bionics.
In the hierarchy of memory types, RAM ranks higher (faster, closer to the processor) than hard drives, but lower than L2 cache. This Segon USB flash drive thinks it’s better than itself.
Something about TomTom’s new Safety cameras subscription service just doesn’t sit right with me. For $49.95 a year, you can receive twice weekly updates for your TomTom satnav that ensure you’ve got the most up to date information when it comes to those government revenue raisers. Both fixed speed cameras and red-light cameras are included and the positioning is verified by TomTom, so it should always be accurate… but really, are there so many new fixed speed cameras and red light cameras going up around the country to warrant twice weekly updates? And is that information really worth $50 a year, especially when you can probably update the map yourself on a TomTom with Map Share. My gut says no, and I generally listen to what my gut tells me. Like right now, it’s time for ham.

We heard the rumour this morning, but comments over on Kotaku AU‘s story point us to the ASIC site which confirms it. It’s a sad day when any Aussie tech company goes over, and is a stark reminder of just how tough these times are financially.
