The Geekazine Quickcast: Holidays - The Gift that Keeps on Giving

Jeffrey Powers — Thu, 25 Dec 2008 02:24:17 -0500

It’s a special episode of the Quickcast. Happy Holidays to all

It’s 8 am on Christmas Day. You wake up and anxiously await going downstairs to take in the spectacular view of the tree and all its gratuities. The kids are running around, the dog is at your feet. You just stand there with the first cup of coffee of the day wondering “Am I getting a tie or a sweater this year”.

But your family (and Santa) surprise you this year. They get you a 40″ flat screen TV and DVR. They get you an Apple iPhone. They get you a new laptop or desktop computer. It’s a Techmas for you and for your whole family.

Yeah, the kids wanted a Nintendo DS, or a Wii this year. You were able to procure both before the market started to slide. For the Wife, you might have worked together a GPS unit. Maybe a Smartphone for her, too. Could have even been a new car with many different tech features like GPS and hands free talk.

Then again, a lower key holiday always works. Gift certificates to your favorite places so you can get a new video camera or even some SD HC cards for the existing one. A new camera always needs a new memory card - after all, 10 megapixels can take up a lot of space.

Whatever the gift, you might just edge oh so closer into the technology realm. Being able to put your life can be scary, but also very exciting. Just as long as you keep the instruction manual close by, right? NAW! You don’t need THAT thing.

Of course, there are some that don’t have that type of holiday. They get by, so they give their loved ones what they can. Maybe someone in the house is going to get a new Xbox or computer, but otherwise the gifts are simple and on a budget. After all, 3 out of 5 people in this day and age are close to bankruptcy.

Holidays are not about expensive gifts or trying to outdo someone else. They are about being together with family and friends. They are about putting differences aside to join in a song or share a drink. It is a bit ironic that we use a religious holiday that not all religions see eye to eye on .

I always like to give gifts that inspire more than anything. This year my nieces got jigsaw puzzles. Puzzles are a good way to build skills in deduction, problem solving and sometimes - teamwork. Plus it’s always nice to get a big puzzle done and look at the finished art, knowing that you’ve done it.

Tomorrow, we are going to get back to our regular lives. No fighting in malls to get that hot toy of the season. No crossing off lists of names you haven’t seen in months but still need to find that tin of popcorn. The best part is you might get to show off that new iPhone or GPS system to your co-workers. Feel proud that you have a great new gadget that is part of the in-crowd.

Then again, a tie would’ve been nice….

Tech Wired Australia: Who Watches The Watchers: Australian Threatened With Arrest Under Australian Anti-Terrorism Act For Being a Citizen Journalist

Ben, Chris & Adam — Tue, 23 Dec 2008 03:24:58 -0500

UPDATE: LISTEN TO NICK SPEAK WITH TECH WIRED AUSTRALIA

IN a world where the watchers can not be watched, can good turn into evil? This is what happened last Friday to Potts Point apartment resident Nick Hac, who was threatened with arrest under the Australian Anti-Terrorism Act 2005 for videoing Police performing a search in public.

It happened around 10:00 PM AEDST when Nick decided he would go outside his Sydney apartment for a quick cigarette. Whilst smoking his cigarette a group of Police officers armed with video cameras stormed past him. Nick thought that if they were filming in public, why not film them. He put his Blackberry into video mode, and started to film. As soon as a member of the New South Wales Police force saw him taking footage they stormed over, confiscated his mobile phone, and threatened him with arrest under the Australian Anti-Terrorism Act.

“They told me to move along, so I did, but I was already 100 metres away from my own apartment building, so I told them that”, Nick told Tech Wired Australia

“They also interrogated me, and told me that they would be deleting the video I had taken. They also went through all my contacts, photos and emails before returning the Blackberry to me. They even had to ask one of my business partners how to delete files on the Blackberry as they wouldn’t let me do it”

“I told the two Police women repeatedly that I did not consent to them going through my mobile. They embarrassed me, I had two of my business partners with me”

“The world we are living in is becoming too restrictive, I was just being a citizen journalist capturing video in a public place, the public need to know their rights, and so do the Police”

New South Wales Council for Civil Liberties got in contact with Nick soon after the event, and have asked him to help them out with their lobbying.

Not too long ago something similar occurred in London under Section 44 of the Terrorism Act 2000, of which UK Police allowed a camera to film them performing a search:

What do you think of Australia’s Anti-Terrorism laws?
