Dear Mr Rudd, it's wonderful that you've joined Twitter. Of course Mr Turnbull was here a month before you, but Twitter has been around more than two years. You're both complete n00bs. May I offer some tips?
Foreign dignitaries, guests of major sponsors and Olympic officials alike will be given a modified PDA at this years Beijing Olympics, which will allow organisers to track their movements and make it easier to arrange a cab.
Opposition leader Kevin Rudd has announced Labor's plans to "bridge the digital divide" between rich and poor but some are already questioning how much the scheme will help the non tech-savvy.
Incoming Prime Minister Kevin Rudd and his likely Minister for Communications Stephen Conroy will need more than a firm handshake if they are to avoid a battle with Telstra that could derail their plans for a national broadband network, according to one industry expert.
Shadow Communications Minister Nick Minchin has called for Communications Minister Stephen Conroy to apologise for his criticism of iiNet's Federal Court defence and warned it might lead to legal action.
This week, Stephen Conroy showed with great certainty that the NBN remains a touch-and-go affair with no clear timeline, a relatively questionable lack of governance, and lots of unresolved mysteries.
Rural areas will be welcoming the government's decision to put its money where its politicising is, funnelling $250m into a regional fibre upgrade to six rural centres. Remedying over a decade of near-neglect at the hands of telecoms privatisation, the investment could be the firmest step yet for Labor's NBN dream but with inevitable political questions and a looming election, Rudd and Conroy need to deliver, and quickly, to preserve the NBN's credibility.
As the knee-jerk defensive responses to Rudd's "adios" subside and Australia moves on, has Rudd made Australia that little less appealing to the overseas investors he desperately needs to fund his NBN?
The government dumped its well-intentioned bidders and spent the day awash in adulation from an industry that suddenly felt all its Christmases had come at once. But isn't this the same government that, two weeks ago, was warning it had to ditch key election promises for lack of funding?
Pigs are flying in flocks as Telstra has a change of heart on separation. Given the vitriol of the past few years, Rudd and Conroy deserve credit for bypassing the copper loop and, in so doing, bringing Australia's most big-mouthed telco in line at last.
Hoffman's position on the board will ensure that the National Broadband Network Company can engage with the content industry in a meaningful way.

From dead parrots to ACCC lawsuits, the National Broadband Network and Fake Stephen Conroy, it's like Telstra is lost in T.S. Eliot's epic poem The Wasteland.
The "Anonymous" hacker group gave Australia's police forces a month's warning that it was going to attack the Federal Government. Why didn't the Australian Federal Police's electronic crimes unit do anything about it?
