The Aus govt going after pirates, price gouging in tech, Iran makes Facebook illegal

Technology

In this episode, Michael, Mark, and Raena talked about recent revelations that the use of Facebook is now illegal in Iran.  We talked about the possibility of finally having mobile coverage in the Melbourne City Loop, and the use of drones to spy on sports tactics in the World Cup.

In Aussie politics, we discussed the zombie policy of going after Australian copyright infringers, being brought back to life by the Attorney General George Brandis.  And big media is crying foul, pushing back on the prospect of legislating against increased pricing for digital product delivery, threatening to leave the country if such laws are put into place.

Further research into teleportation is taking place, with some interesting outcomes, progressing us closer and closer to a world where we’ll one day be able to truly say “beam me up, Scotty”.
