While many good sons and daughters spent yesterday honouring the women who gave them life, there was another, slightly geekier celebration happening as well, as Internode celebrated its 20th birthday. Happy Birthday, Internode! More »
If only their parents had waited until summer to conceive! Still, they can’t change their birth date, but you can most definitely ensure they get the best two presents for their bi-celebration this December. More »
15 years ago today in Japan, the original PlayStation went on sale. It wasn’t until a year later that it hit US and European shelves, with Ridge Racer satisfying gamers years before GTA was ever a twinkle in Rockstar’s eye. More »
A couple of weeks ago, ABC’s iView VOD service celebrated its first birthday – they grow up so fast! David Knox at TV Tonight is reporting that to celebrate, the national broadcaster’s online video portal has begun a 3 month trial with Pipe Networks to allow smaller ISPs to offer unmetered access to the service.

Apple’s Mac line celebrates its 25th birthday today: the original Macintosh was released back on January 24th, 1984. It’s been a bumpy road, but it made it. And we’re glad.
What are you doing at midday today? I’ll tell you what you’re doing! You’re sitting by your computer, browser open with one tab set to Giz AU (like it always should be) and another browser pointed at Catch Of The Day. Because tomorrow is their birthday, and they’re going special crazy. $200 for a Wii (half price), $99 for a PS2, $99 for a TomTom Satnav, $99 for a 4GB iPod Nano… that’s your Christmas shopping done right there. And that’s just shopping for yourself. What you get your friends and relatives won’t matter after the bargains you score here today.
Congratulations iPod on turning 7 today! Starting to feel kind of old aren’t you? Ahh, you have had a good life so far. Lots of friends and TONS of kids. Seriously, keep it in your pants you dirty old bastard. I don’t know how you do it at your age.
This Millennium Falcon was never going to do the Kessel Run… but it might just qualify as the most awesome birthday cake ever made. I mean, look at the detail! Made by Charm City Cakes in Baltimore, one lucky guy received it this weekend… and can you guess his generous brother’s profession? Yup, you were close: it’s as a sysadmin. I just hope he appreciated it, since I know an armload of people who’d weep with joy if this arrived on their birthday. Particularly if it were cunningly combined with LED birthday candles for special lighting effects. There’s another pic below, if you haven’t seen enough.
Hey, it’s your birthday! To celebrate this momentous occasion I got the pocket birthday kit complete with four candles, matches and a base. Why are you crying? What do you mean you don’t have any friends? I’m here with the pocket birthday dude! This is supposed to be a happy time. Available for about US$6 (which is ridiculous). [Design3000 via 7Gadgets]
