Is The Xbox Durango Prankster About To Be Charged With Owning A ‘Stun Gun’?
Back in Februrary, a dazed and confused Dan Henry — also known by his handle ‘SuperDaE’ — answered his door to a squad of Western Australian Police officers and a representative from the FBI. They were there to raid Henry’s home in search of the Xbox Durango development console he had attempted to sell on eBay as a prank. After spending months in legal limbo, Henry now expects to be charged on Monday, but not for offences relating to the Durango. Instead, he might only be charged with owning a stun gun.

iPhone Thief Hunted Down In An Awesome Subway Chase
The subway is a prime place for phone theft. Snatch, grab, run. Whether you’re getting on or getting off, you’ll make a quick escape from your target. It doesn’t always work, though. The NYPD managed to catch someone who tried exactly that trick by using Find My iPhone and following along on the ground in a righteous chase.
Kogan Mobile Just Won Its Case Against ISPOne
Kogan Mobile has had a pretty rocky time of it lately, what with the accusations it was booting customers, followed by a legal fracas with its wholesale provider, ISPOne, over its alleged interferance with customer accounts that reportedly included kicking customers off the network.

How The CSIRO Allegedly Ripped Off A Major Pharmaceutical Company
I love the CSIRO. You probably do, too. I love the idea of a group of really smart people coming together to further our collective knowledge, so to hear that the organisation is being accused of deliberately misleading a major pharmaceutical company by reportedly selling it simple chemicals masked as a complex, in-house anti-counterfeiting technology is something that can take a bit of getting used to. Here’s how it all allegedly went down.
Kogan Mobile To Sue Its Wholesaler, ISPOne, Over ‘Unlimited’ Dramas
Kogan Mobile has had more than a few dramas with the word “unlimited” recently. After offering so-called “unlimited” plans to customers at launch, some have been left with a sour taste in their mouths after allegedly violating the company’s Fair Play policy and being shoved off the network. Kogan Mobile blames its wholesale provider, ISPOne, for the dramas, and now it wants punitive relief: Kogan is taking ISPOne to the Supreme Court.
