Re: Australia’s EVs are dirtier than petrol cars

I used to be a Wheels fan, not any more. This rubbish has lost me.

Re: Thousands miss out on map updates

Just off the blower with a Kia customer service guy. He said to keep an eye on the Kia Australia FB page because they hope to be announcing some kind of update solution within the next month or so. We shall see....

They oughta devise a system of slides which actually take you to your connecting flight gate-lounge! Now that'd be impressive.

My missus is soon to replace her S6. We're considering the Pixel XL, would you reckon this phone would be a better option?

Your passion comes through well in this review. We kindred sim-racers nod approvingly, knowing where you're coming from. :-)

"Inline 6" you reckon? Maybe there's not enough room to write "Horizontally opposed 6" in your engine specs sheet. :-)

Re: First Tesla Model S Road Trip from Sydney to Melbourne, on 3 phase

NoRelationToNed — Thu, 02 Apr 2015 02:31:57 -0000

Great that we have pioneering thinkers like Peterson! If I had a spare $200k I'd do the same. I'd definitely see a Tesla in my carport in the medium term future if all goes well.

Great work, sounds like the way to go when the TiVo stops working - or maybe even beforehand!

Re: [TIPS & TRICKS] Read or Import Your eBooks from Other Apps

Whenever a pdf is emailed to me via gmail, it always is added to the bookshelf with the same "aldiko email attachment.pdf" filename then won't allow the next one to be added until it is deleted. How can the filename be changed to the original before being added to the bookshelf?

Involuntary "Wow!" was detected emanating from self when seeing shot near the end of car overlooking the view.

Re: Holden VF Commodore: SS exterior revealed

NoRelationToNed — Thu, 14 Feb 2013 18:57:05 -0000

Sorry, but the headlights/grille just remind me so much of the 2001 Pulsar!

Re: Channel 7 spark outrage over no HD broadcast of AFL Grand Final

NoRelationToNed — Sat, 29 Sep 2012 02:38:26 -0000

Too many bean-counters and not enough enthusiasts in upper management. Simple as that.

Re: SPY PICS: VF Commodore uncovered

NoRelationToNed — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 22:54:05 -0000

I quite understand that, however in this case the content is severely compromised by the watermark. If a more subtle transparency percentage was used it would still achieve the protection required in my humble opinion.

Re: SPY PICS: VF Commodore uncovered

NoRelationToNed — Wed, 22 Aug 2012 22:07:51 -0000

It's hard enough to try and grok the new shape under all that camouflage but your over-zealous watermark just makes it needlessly harder, please lose it!

Re: Hyundai i30cw not for Australia - yet

NoRelationToNed — Mon, 07 May 2012 02:59:21 -0000

Damn! I was genuinely awaiting the CW version of the new i30. Now I'll have to rethink. Is there any other small/medium wagons with a diesel auto option in this price bracket?

Re: Optus network completely unusable in Albury Wodonga

NoRelationToNed — Sun, 27 Feb 2011 04:50:36 -0000

Surely you and other users from your area could investigate the possibility of a kind of "class action" deputation to the telecommunications ombudsman?! http://www.tio.com.au/ Clearly you are not getting the service you pay for and no independent umpire could find any other way than to allow you to terminate your contract due to unfulfilment on Optus' side.

Re: Review: Apple iPhone 4

NoRelationToNed — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 08:11:41 -0000

Very informative review Jason. Particularly the comparison between Australia and the US regarding iPhone competition and subsequent outcomes. You would have thought the very bastion of competitive market capitalism would have been in the lead but we are actually ahead of them on this occasion. The other spin-off to the success of the iPhone has been competition from other formats such as Android and the soon to be released win7 phones. Keeping them all hopping to outdo each other can only be good for us consumers.

Re: PS3 Firmware 3.4 now available, +1 video editor

NoRelationToNed — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 09:36:54 -0000

Far more useful would have been simple things like native support for .mkv HD video container files and other formats negating the need for streaming apps like PS3 Media Server.

According to the latest episode of Tekzilla, Patrick Norton is out in the Mojave Desert somewhere this week, a place on your trip map. He was replaced by Tom Merritt. Besides Leo, do you have any chance of catching up with any other Tech bloggers on the West Coast e.g. the Tekzilla crew who are based in San Franciso?

Re: Facebook launches new UI

NoRelationToNed — Mon, 08 Feb 2010 18:46:59 -0000

A lot of the complaints people are making about the new UI would be solved if the pane at the left of the home page did not scroll when scrolling through posts. A fairly simple adjustment. The left pane could include the main headers so that notifications etc would still be seen and accessible all the time not just when at the top of the page.

Re: Podcast Episode #44 – Heil PR40

NoRelationToNed — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 09:05:17 -0000

I'll second that Jack, fine episode but you're face is too obscured, doesn't that fancy mic pick up from like a foot or so away? If it was purely an audio podcast it wouldn't matter, but it's video, you need to be seen. I've just been checking Leo LaPorte's technique, he seems to have a higher camera position and angles the mic so we can see his mouth most of the time anyway. Re: Forza, how does id compare to Gran Turismo 5 on the PS3? Looks extremely similar.

Re: Australian Government 2.0 announced, you design the banner

NoRelationToNed — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 18:42:46 -0000

...sorry, just my bent sense of humour with all the questions. Howlong IS a town near Albury. Don't mind me. Shall have to check out Fireworks if it can be used so effectively in such a short time.

Re: Australian Government 2.0 announced, you design the banner

NoRelationToNed — Mon, 22 Jun 2009 09:13:13 -0000

Cool, what program did you use to design it? How long did you spend on it? What did you have for breakfast? How long is a town near Albury...etc. etc.

I use NoScript with Firefox so no issue, double-click.net is blocked.
