At UTS this afternoon in the wind as the sky went dark and clouds moved in. It got colder, but I don’t think there was actually any rain.
The key(ring) to Tintin (photo)
A large selection of Tintin key-rings spotted in Modern Tines in Newtown. Should satisfy most Tintin obsessed, or cause turmoil trying to decide which to get.
Minecraft login failed! Has my account been hacked? Try updating Minecraft
I have been trying Minecraft since last year and I just started getting login errors this week.
You open Minecraft, enter your Username and Password, then get the Login failed window.
Searching Google for this problem I came up with posts about passwords being hacked/stolen. So I diligently went and reset my password.
After which I was about to login to the Minecraft site, but still getting errors from the Minecraft game! And if you try to report it on the support page failed, nothing appears if you click the My account was hacked button!
There is a happy end to this story
With nothing else seeming to work I downloaded the game again. Starting the new copy of Minecraft I found it was 1.8.1, with a slight change in login interface, and it accepted my username/password combo.
I can play Minecraft again! 🙂
Minecraft 1.7.3 not downloading 1.8 update
It would appear that the problem is that Minecraft 1.7.3 can no longer login. And also is not downloading the update to 1.8. You have to go do it yourself.
This should really have been handled better by the developers. If people expect Minecraft to update itself and it just fails to login you are going to have quite a few people panic.
Developers, please think about providing better error messages next time.
Even special deals can’t sell new bread
Coles has a special deal on Abbott’s Village bread. Buy 2 loves for only $6. But it doesn’t appear to have worked for the their newest variety.
As you can see from the photo, the shelves are completely empty of Abbott’s Village bread, except for that new Malted Flakes loves.
So, are people just sticking with what they know? Or is it something to do with avoiding bread with green on it?
Shouldn’t there be a building there? (photo)
Walking down Pitt Street mall I noticed a gap between the parts of Westfield. Wasn’t there a building there until recently, that the owners would not sell too Westfield? I wonder what is going in now?

Take a journey with us thirty years into the past. Before the world wide web, before internet forums and blogs. Hell, before Usenet groups and Compuserve. This was when movie spies were more like real spies. Belly-crawling with real cameras loaded with real film. Sharing physical assets. Speaking on the phone. Making meet ups face-to-face

the cable confirms what iiNet and others have long suspected: Hollywood’s choice of target reflected iiNet’s Goldilocks status. iiNet was just right: Telstra is large, loud, litigious, and possessed of significant lobbying experience

When it comes to copyright issues, the various State Department leaks via Wikileaks have only served to confirm what pretty much everyone already knew. Earlier we'd covered revelations about US diplomatic involvement in new copyright laws in Spain, and the latest (as a bunch of you sent in) is the rather upfront admission that the MPAA was absolutely behind the decision to sue iiNet in Australia.

Adobe announced its new Flash Media Server 4.5 late Thursday afternoon, and it’s an iteration Apple device owners should be very happy about. For the first time, Flash Media Server now enables same-source video delivery to both Apple devices and Adobe Flash-compatible destinations. Basically, Adobe is acknowledging Apple has won when it comes to Flash.

US copyright police are pulling AFACT's strings as it drags iiNet through Australian courts, but is anyone really surprised?
-
Wikileaks has recently published more cables from the US embassy in Canberra. One such cable has revealed that there could have been American involvement in the trial against ISP iiNet and AFACT over copyright infringement.
-
In yet another round of stunning revelations, leaked cables published on Wikileaks demonstrate clearly that US embassies assign staff to read newspapers and send digests back to America, and wherever possible, they toe the party line.
-
Interestingly enough, a Wikileaks cable that was just released reveals that the MPAA (thus the American movie studios) are a main facilitator of the legal action.
-
As a crucial Australian copyright lawsuit goes to its High Court for consideration, a new WikiLeaks cable from the US State Department suggests that the force behind the action is anything but local. On the surface, it appears that the suit against iiNet—on the grounds that the country's third biggest ISP hasn't done enough to crack down on illegal file sharers—is an Australian content initiative. But according to the cable, the prime mover behind the suit is actually the Motion Picture Association of America, through the Motion Picture Association, its international arm.
-
A new cable from Wikileaks alleges that iiNet was targeted by the American film industry because the company was large enough, and that it avoided Telstra which was deemed to have considerable financial resources and a "demonstrated willingness to fight hard and dirty".
-
ONE of America's biggest anti-piracy companies was too scared to take on Telstra over copyright breaches and instead pursued the smaller iiNet, according to leaked documents published on WikiLeaks.
-
A document published by Wikileaks appearing to be a US diplomatic cable appears to have revealed much of the previously hidden background behind the iiNet/AFACT court case, including the Motion Picture Association of America’s prime mover role and US Embassy fears the trial could become portrayed as “giant American bullies versus little Aussie battlersâ€.

Looking for something in the electronics section of Kmart I found this clock surrounded by forks and spoons. Can I get an Asian version surrounded by chop
-
American diplomatic cable, released by WikiLeaks, that confirms that AFACT was acting as MPAA/MPAs stooge. The best line in the cable is "in Australia, which does have very high rates of illegal movie and television show downloads, in part because of the sometimes long gaps between their release in the US and their
arrival in Australian theaters or on local television"
What would you fork out for this clock?
Looking for something in the electronics section of Kmart I found this clock surrounded by forks and spoons. Can I get an Asian version surrounded by chop sticks?
