Certain strains of bacteria can pull magnetic materials out of their backside, so to speak. And scientists at Ames Laboratory want to imitate it in an effort to make smaller memory or medical devices.
I have seen the NBN, and it looks a lot like Christina Aguilera. Or, at least, it looked like her when I dropped into Ericsson's Melbourne headquarters recently to see a live demo of their NBN solutions. Yet behind the streaming TV, one question lingers -- and not even the government seems able to answer it.
GPS component manufacturer Rakon announced a big drop in earnings this week. Can it recover though, even if the recession ends?
Next month digital radio will be rolled out in most Australian capital cities. But is it too little, too late? Is the real future for radio moving online?
A while back, frustration with my inability to get online outside of the office drove me to invest in a 3G data service from Hutchinson's 3. For $30 per month, I get 2GB of data that's accessible pretty much anywhere I go (I do all my work in metropolitan areas).

Asus' Lamborghini VX5 is a luxury laptop, with a luxury price to match thankfully justified by the quality of the laptop and package. If you've got a wad of cash burning in your pocket, and don't mind a little luxury, the VX5 might be for you.
With so many excellent phones to choose from, Nokia hasn't done nearly enough to make the 6720 desirable. It does the basics well, but struggles to justify its price.
Nokia's third Navigator in the series is the best of the bunch thus far, though its small screen will dissuade many from binning their TomToms for in-car use.
