Wireless Router NOT needed for Wireless Internet

The current trend in the mass media / electronics industry is the VIGOROUS promoting of over inflated priced gadgets for wireless Internet, compared to a wired home connection.

The products the BIG 4 telcos ( Telstra, Optus/Virgin, 3, Vodafone) advertise are a wireless (Wifi enabled) 3G router like the "3" badged Huawei 3G router.

The advertising spiel is that it enables you to connect you laptop (or up to 3 wireless devices at the same time to it) gaining an Internet connection.

These modems can sell for as much as $200 outright plus additional cost for data plans.

What Mr. Joe Average may NOT be aware of is that one of the most common portable communication devices is ALSO capable of wireless Internet connectivity, for probably a cheaper cost.



Technology for example from 2005 in the shape of a Nokia 6280
ref: http://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_6280-1199.php
is fully capable of connecting your Pocket PC, laptop, PC or Palm Pilot (via Bluetooth) wirelessly to the Internet via 3G / 2G.

Most people have bluetooth enabled mobile phones, and currently MOST telecoms providers in Australia give 1GB of data on a $29 recharge which is valid for 1 month.

Another underutilised resource available to EVERYONE, without purchasing overpriced consumer electronics.

Electricity price rise drought sponsored Government fraud

In 2009, the government has justified the electricity resellers prise rise of 17% per annum as a result of the drought, especially in Victoria, Australia.

From approx February 2010, Victoria has experienced torrential rainfalls, and in October 2010 it has been the wettest October in 35 years.

Other states of Australia have an abundance of water, Queensland having dams at 110% capacity, as well as Tasmania also being overflowing with water.

The government has been deliberately slow in lifting water restrictions for the general populous, which now sits at Stage 2 Water Restrictions for the majority of the State's people.

There is NO more mention of the word drought in the mass media, as the populous is well aware that the official figures for the dams are deliberately falsified.

Since there is NO drought, the power companies have NOT lifted their 17% loading due to the long gone drought.

There should be a Royal Commission as to the deliberate government sponsored drought in order for businesses to rort (Australian : financial impropriety) monies from the general populous.

The building of a desalination plant in Victoria's east is of NO greater environmental friendliness, than the building of extra dams, BUT the cost of water will be THREE times greater to the masses.

Teen in coma after 'vicious' bridge attack

A teenager is fighting for life in hospital after being thrown off a bridge in southwestern Sydney during a "vicious" and apparently random attack, police say.

Detectives, who have launched a hunt for a gang of five men, fear the 18-year-old victim has suffered a brain bleed.

Both he and his friend were set upon as they walked across a bridge from Mawson Street to Cabramatta Avenue at Miller about 8.20pm (AEDT) on Wednesday.

After a confrontation, the 18-year-old was sent plunging three metres into the creek below.

Police said the water broke his fall but he sustained his serious head injuries after climbing up a bank to fight back.

"It definitely was a vicious assault," Acting Superintendent Steve Corry told reporters on Thursday.

"The argument started between himself, a friend and five others. The young man was then pushed over the bridge."

After climbing back up the hill, he was punched and kicked by the group, Supt Corry said.

He was taken to a nearby house and the to hospital, where he was put in an induced coma.

"At this stage we are not sure of the motive," Supt Corry said.

"It appears to be a random attack."

Police said they had not established whether the victim had been taken to safety by his friend, who suffered less serious injuries in the attack and did not require treatment, or by someone else.

Officers from Green Valley local area command are attempting to find five men, described as being of Pacific-Islander appearance and aged in their early 20s.

Anyone with information is urged to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

So no one labels this as a possible racist attack, as racism does not happen in ethnic communities against white people?

What a joke!

Connected Home - Not really

Here is another waste of paper, $AU12.95, water and electricity needed to generate this magazine, BUT no doubt this will be of some benefit to some people.

The magazine primarily features advertising for ipods, set top boxes, LCD TV's, audio amplifiers, speakers and other items that maybe loosely connected to each other, and the only real connection they share to the house is the 240 volts input they require.

One would assume that a magazine with such a title would contain features / products that integrate, for example self opening curtains depending on lighting conditions, or program interfaces that connect C-Bus (Home Automation), that are also programmable from a web interface from say Antarctica.

This magazine is nothing more than an up market JB Hifi catalog.

It's all about Audio / Visual entertainment only.

Remembrance Day was NOT to be at VicRoads

In this day and age the general politics is to dumb down the general populous, as well as to disassemble PATRIOTISM, in the name of a few minor 'sects' or under the excuse of 'religion'.

In the mass media, it has been mentioned that an Australian Government department, Vicroads was to NOT honour the sacrifices of the armed forces in which MANY lives were lost in the name of 'saving' the country.

This is a deplorable act, and it should NOT even be entertained that an omission be made not to remember the people who gave the ULTIMATE sacrifice, i.e. their lives.

The excuse given was that 'some' minorities ( maybe for instance Japanese Albino Pregnant Lesbian Women ?) may find it offensive.

What a joke to the sovereignty of the nation.

The current trend in politics is to confuse the issues of nationality, by promoting multiculturalism onto the Anglo nations, whilst at the same time promotising racism in other nationalities, under the banner of religion, imposing migration in order dilute the beliefs of the hosting nations.

Previous Australian government racist policies were of WHITE AUSTRALIA, where now the New World Order is the opposite.

Nothing more nothing less than Australian Political Scum.

Wikipedia :

Remembrance Day (also known as Poppy Day, Armistice Day or Veterans Day) is a memorial day observed in Commonwealth countries to remember the sacrifices of members of the armed forces and civilians in times of war, specifically since the First World War. This day, or alternative dates, are also recognised as special days for war remembrances in many non-Commonwealth countries.

Remembrance Day is observed on 11 November to recall the official end of World War I on that date in 1918, as the major hostilities of World War I were formally ended "at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month" of 1918 with the German signing of the Armistice. (Note that "at the 11th hour", refers to the passing of the 11th hour, or 11:00 am.)

Qantas fined $12 million for price-fixing

Qantas is among 11 air cargo carriers fined a total of 800 million euros ($1.1 billion) by the European Commission for running a cartel.

"It is deplorable that so many major airlines coordinated their pricing to the detriment of European businesses and European consumers," said European competition commissioner Joaquin Almunia said on Tuesday.

The Air France-KLM group was hit with the biggest fine, 310 million euros ($A427.26 million), of which 183 million euros ($A252.22 million) was for Air France and 127 million euros ($A175.04 million) for KLM.

To my ‘Aussie price gouging on international flights’

British Airways was fined 104 million euros ($A143.34 million).

The other companies fined were Qantas, Air Canada, Martinair, Cargolux, Cathay Pacific Airways, Japan Airlines, LAN Chile, SAS and Singapore Airlines.

Lufthansa and its subsidiary Swiss International Air Lines escaped a fine under the commission's leniency program for being the first to provide information about the cartel.

The 11 cargo carriers co-ordinated their action on surcharges for fuel and security without discounts over a six-year period, between December 1999 and February 2006, the European Union's competition watchdog said.

Qantas and LAN Chile got the smallest fines, euros 8.9 million ($A12.27 million) and euros 8.2 million ($A11.3 million), respectively.

Scandinavia's SAS group was fined 70.2 million euros and Luxembourg's Cargolux will have to pay 79.9 million euros.

In Asia, Singapore Airlines was fined 74.8 million euros, Cathay was hit with 57.1 million euros and Japan Airlines will pay 35.7 million euros.

Air Canada must pay 21 million euros.

Five airlines applied for a reduction in the fine, claiming they were unable to pay it, but the commission said none of them met the conditions.

The commission said it dropped charges against another 11 carriers and one consultancy firm which it did not name.

The fines, totalling 799.4 million euros ($A1.09 billion), were slapped on airlines for co-ordinating a cartel that covered flights from, to and within the European Economic Area.

The cartel initially began with contacts between airlines to ensure that worldwide air freight carriers imposed a "flat rate surcharge per kilo for all shipments," the commission said.

The co-operation expanded with the introduction of a security surcharge. The companies refused to pay a commission on such surcharges to their clients, the regulator said.

"By refusing to pay a commission, the airlines ensured that surcharges did not become subject to competition through the granting of discounts to customers," the commission said.

Aust calls for more sex on TV

Secret masturbation stories, gay men living heterosexual lives, and a cancer survivor who dabbles in group sex.

Australians asked for more sex on TV and a new pay TV show, Secret Sex Lives of Australian Men and Women, has promised to answer the call.

The two-episode documentary, which will air on LifeStyle YOU from December 6, has been billed as a "provocative, emotional and at times unbelievable" exploration of the secret bedroom lives of everyday Australians.

"Real Australians invite us into their bedrooms for some pillow talk that will make the whitest sheets blush," producers say.

The LifeStyle Channel's general manager Nicole Sheffield says programmers are just responding to what research shows Australians want on TV.

"Time and time again our research showed us that Australians wanted to see more programs looking at sex. It's a normal part of adult life," Sheffield said in a statement on Wednesday.

"This was something we really wanted to produce for our viewers."

The program will reveal that twice as many Australian women use vibrators than the rest of the world and introduce viewers to a woman who calls masturbating her main pastime.

A man will confess to being consciously gay while being married to a woman for 28 years, while statistics reveal 20 per cent of gay men have been in de facto relationships with or married to women.

And with research showing six per cent of Australian adults have never had sex, viewers are introduced to a 39-year-old virgin who ponders how it passed him by.

Bear Grylls - Man vs Wild - T.V. Fraud

On Australian television, a rugged 'looking' fella, jumps around the screen like a cowboy
(Noun. A person who is unscrupulous and unqualified in business. Often with regard to 'cowboy' builders. ),
disrespecting nature, and the animals around it.

His so called ways of 'surviving' in the wild are nothing short of unrealistic (read fraudulent).

Unfortunately many people (read the masses), see television shows as 'reality' and NOT entertainment (read FICTION).

Scrutiny from wildlife experts (as documented in outer edge - oct-nov 2010) has revealed that the methods that Edward Michael Grylls 'employs' in the wild have no merritt.

"Some of his so-called bush survival foods, should not be tried by anyone, anytime anywhere". - quoted from the above mentioned periodical.

The media owners once again portray fraudulent entities on the Australian Airwaves to the mass population.

Warning: If someone dies from mimicking his 'survival' techniques then the airing network / show producers could be liable.

Policeman tells of hunt for dying daughter

A Queensland policeman has told of how he was on duty and took a call that led fellow officers to discover his teenage daughter dying after an apparent suicide attempt four years ago.

Brisbane police on Tuesday launched a homicide investigation into the death of the 15-year-old girl, saying fresh information had come to light.

The girl was found hanging from rafters in the basement of an Upper Mt Gravatt house in Brisbane's south on September 7, 2006.

Under Queensland law, media have been ordered not to reveal the 15-year-old girl's name.

Her father Sergeant Damian Rockett, a Mt Gravatt police officer, told reporters on Wednesday that he was on duty at the station at the time.

"I took the phone call from a person at the house the day it happened," Sgt Rockett said.

"I arranged for the police to attend. I was actually working and I was listening to what was going on the police radio."

He said he knew from the call and the police radio that his daughter was seriously hurt.

She died in hospital that night from her injuries, and her death was treated as a suicide.

Sgt Rockett said police attended the house about 3.30pm (AEST) and questioned the residents, who told them his daughter was not there.

The officers then searched Wishart Road in Upper Mt Gravatt, where the girl had last been seen wandering through traffic.

He said police later returned to the home after one of the residents said they had found her hanging in the basement.

Sgt Rockett said he was open minded about his daughter's death and still had not ruled out suicide.

"I would like to know the truth. I feel rather helpless," he said.

Detective Inspector Rod Kemp told reporters on Wednesday that there were now six persons of interest in the case.

Det Insp Kemp said new information, including DNA and witness accounts, had led police to reopen the file.

"Some of the persons of interest are heavily involved in drugs," he said.

Sgt Rockett said his daughter became involved with drugs and started squatting at a home where drug addicts lived after he split with his wife, the girl's mother, in 2003.

"She was in a relationship with a 28-year-old male who had a drug habit and psychiatric problems, and I felt she was at risk of harm, but (the department of child safety) didn't do anything," he said.

He blamed his daughter's death on a lack of child protection laws that didn't allow authorities to forcibly remove her from the house.

"There's no safe and secure place in Queensland for authorities to take a child who keeps putting herself in harm," he said.

Police on Tuesday said a new forensic search would be carried out at a home in Mt Gravatt. Officers are also doorknocking in the area to seek witnesses.

Detective Acting Chief Superintendent Brian Wilkins, of the State Crime Operations Command, said any detail might prove crucial in the investigation.

"Don't discount anything as being trivial. Talk to us and help us to find the answers," he said on Tuesday.

A major investigation room has been established at Holland Park Police Station.

A police post has also been set up on Wishart Road, including a mannequin dressed in dark-coloured full-length trousers and a white bandeau top like those the girl was seen wearing.

She was described as 176cm tall, of thin build, with shoulder-length light brown hair.

This is another example of how the law is deliberately designed to break up the family unit.

Even the Law Enforcer was tragically unable to save his daughter from the criminal element, that had a hand in her death.

A deliberate failure by design by the 'system'.

Detectives allege police wife-beating cover-up

SEVERAL detectives claim to have secret tapes of their bosses covering up for another senior Victoria Police officer they suspect of beating his wife.

The detectives did the covert taping because they feared being pressured to treat the attack as a random one by an unknown offender, rather than as a suspected case of domestic violence.

They claim the tapes, which have been given to the Office of Police Integrity, contain evidence of attempts by senior police to pervert the course of justice.

The OPI refused a Herald Sun request to reveal whether it had recommended disciplinary action be taken after its investigation found "a perception of favourable treatment towards the senior officer".

"To an observer, it could appear as though the woman's husband used his police authority and his friendship with senior police to avoid being investigated as a potential suspect," said a recent OPI report on the incident.

"A reasonable member of the public, properly informed, is unlikely to be confident this matter was properly handled by Victoria Police."

But Victoria Police yesterday hit back, saying there was no evidence the senior officer attacked his wife and accusing detectives at the country station of being involved in a vendetta to blacken his name.

His wife claimed she was assaulted from behind by an unknown offender while out walking after midnight.

The Herald Sun has seen confidential police documents that cast doubt on the victim's version of events.

Those documents contain claims by the detectives who investigated the assault that they were pressured by their bosses not to treat the victim's husband as a suspect.

The detectives claim they warned their bosses that the case should be handled by the force's Ethical Standards Department.

Documents seen by the Herald Sun reveal the victim's partner was promoted to be in charge of the investigating officers within days of the assault, and one of the detectives later made bullying allegations against the officer.

Those confidential documents show the bullying allegations were substantiated by an independent inquiry in April this year.

A Victoria Police spokesman said yesterday the force was standing by the officer.

"There never has been any evidence to suggest that the victim's assailant was her partner," he said. "If there had been, then the matter would have been referred to ESD as a matter of priority.

"To the contrary, police believe they know who the offender was and the investigation continues.

"It should also be noted that whilst an independent investigation was commissioned into a complaint of bullying, its findings were not accepted by the relevant assistant commissioner as it was judged to have been an entirely unsatisfactory investigation."

There is always some sort of cover up in the Police Force to pervert the cause of 'justice'.

Even if ANY evidence sees the light of day, it is usually the whistle blower that is in danger and NOT the criminal.

That is the way of the oppressive power.
