If You Hate The Idea Of A Filtered Internet, You Should Probably Sign This…

Nick Broughall — Fri, 28 Nov 2008 00:00:37 +0000

By now you’re probably aware that the Rudd Government are planning on filtering the internet for every Australian. And I’m sure that you are aware just how bad an idea it is. If you’re not, check out our previous post on the subject. Anyway, if you want to let the Government know what a bunch of tossers they are being by proceeding with live trials, even when all the closed trials results should have shouted out in big red letters: “THIS ISN’T GOING TO WORK”, the GetUp.org is calling for you to sign their petition.

I know, petitions are a bit of a nothing way of demonstration, but considering the massive push GetUp are putting behind their efforts to thwart the Government’s filtering program, it can’t hurt to add your name to the list. And it might actually make a difference.

To sign the petition, point your browser here. Do it now.

iPhone On 3? They Want It As Much As You Do

Nick Broughall — Fri, 27 Jun 2008 03:11:37 +0000

Despite all the rumours and tips we’d received about the iPhone launching on 3, it looks like the mobile network isn’t actually getting the iPhone 3G any time soon.

Yesterday afternoon, 3 sent out a press release for their new online iPhone petition to Apple, where 3 customers can voice their hopes and dreams for an X-series Jesusphone to browse the web from their pocket cheaply.

Noel Hamill, the Director of Sales, Marketing and Product at 3, said:

“Ever since Apple’s announcement that a 3G iPhone is coming, we’ve had lots of calls and emails – the main flavour is people wanting to get the value that 3 offers with the iPhone.
“While we’ve been engaging with Apple to secure the iPhone for 3, we don’t know whether we can range it.
“We want Apple to see just how much our customers want the iPhone.”

I’m not too sure how much Apple listen’s to petitions from network providers, but if you want to lend your voice to the cause you can either check out their website or – if you’re a 3 customer – SMS the word iPhone to 333000 to receive a form you can fill out from your mobile.

This is a friendly reminder to sign the McFly 2015 project. You know, to convince Nike to build Marty McFly’s kicks from Back to the Future II. I’ve signed because they’re cool enough to risk tearing up the space time continuum with an early release.

If you’d agree, go ahead, click through and sign. â€“ Brian Lam
