Recent reports came out today speculating on the impact that Attorney General George Brandis' latest anti-piracy proposal will have on the Australian public who were recently deemed by Mumbrella to be "at the top of the world piracy ladder." Here are my reasons why the proposal, and subsequent proposals to fight those who elicit online piracy, will fail.
The March 30th release of the Federal Government's Final Report from the Convergence Review has ruffled not just a few feathers amongst the media moguls but I'd have to say the entire plume. From The Australian to The Herald Sun, commentators around the country have contributed their two cents worth focusing mainly on the negative effects...
2014 was recently described by Inside Film as shaping up to be "one of the strongest years for Australian films." In anticipation of this, and considering my lack of posts recently, I thought I would provide you all with a few more reasons as to why this claim is valid made with summaries of the films mentioned and their accompanying trailers....

For all of my loyal readers who missed my quirky, random posts last week, you have my complete and sincere apology. As I should probably have mentioned a couple of weeks ago, I was on a holiday to Sydney with my best friend Georgia and was unable to post any blogs due a lack of internet access.Needless to say, I already have...
In today's lecture, I stumbled upon what you may call a mini-epithany. Ok, maybe the idea wasn't that grandiose but it wasn't something I had thought of before so to me, that was quite stupendous. What I'm blathering about by the way is the astonishing link (pardon the pun) between Tim Berners-Lee's intention of the internet...
Hey everyoneAs you know, a couple of weeks ago I had a major freakout because I could not for the life of me remember how the hell you upload an image to a webserver. From looking at my posts, you've probably realised I worked it out ages ago, which I did but this is the first time I've remembered AND had the time to write...
The recent article contained within the Media section of The Age last Monday couldn't help but make me laugh with the title "Neighbours takes roles to Twitter". The brief reflection on Fremantle Media's latest attempt to entice Gen-Y into their program is apparently being claimed as "the first in the world" "to establish Twitter accounts for its fictional characters". According to The Age, the Twitter...
Today I believe is the first time in about a month where I have actually looked forward to pointing out the positive aspects of one of today's top stories. For those of you who picked up The Age this morning, you all would have seen the MASSIVE photo of a jockey going hell-for-leather at a horse's neck at what we can assume...
Throughout the duration of this course, there have been a number of words which I have titled "weird-ass" because you look at them from front to back and still think they're weird. These W.A.Ws as they shall be abbreviated include TCP/IP, HTML, and CSS. As you can see, these are all acronymn's for much larger words but even when these tiny abbreviations are extended, I still have no idea what they...
For those of you who diligently cross yourselves each morning before facing the on-coming rush hour traffic, this morning's Herald Sun front page would most definitely have given you something extra to worry about. I on the other hand was jumping for joy! As you will have already read in my earlier post, Flamin' Firebombs, I am a huge supporter of any initiative that involves the decreased production...
Recently, a survey was conducted (by yours truly nonetheless) of the blogs posted here at TOTP and it was concluded that the number of articles featuring newspapers other than the Herald Sun or The Age was ... 0. Therefore, today I decided to change tracks and switch to another newspaper outlet that we are all familiar with but one I would not normally consider as a "depressing" newspaper, this being...
According to today's Age, "Australia and Japan are at loggerheads over the use of nuclear weapons in war, with Japan - the only country to suffer an atomic attack - determined they should remain a broad-based deterrent". Great, but since when have we needed to worry about nuclear warfare? I why is it all of a sudden front page news. Never to dissapoint, I investigated further into the matter for you...
