Years ago my friends & I used to play around & strip this of the cars, attatch that and generally just played with mechanics.
I remember once a bloke that lived over the back fence in Currie, swap out a auto gearbox for a manual 3 speed box in his old LJ Torana. Trouble was, how was he going to work the gearshift lever. What he finished up doing was simple & effective. He just cut a hole in the side of the hump in the floor, & for a few days, just stuck his hand through the floor. Later he attached a stick on each gear shift arm on the side of the gearbox.
When they started computerising cars & trucks, I used to ( & I still do), real crook.
Now have a guess whats comin.....

Bitcoin is slowly, but surely, extending it'd reach in the world.
Question is, will it become a viable form of world-wide monetary currency exchange??
Ever put something aside, with the intension of then forgetting it, so you have it later when you really need it?
I don't know about you, but I can never forget about it.
But this bloke forgot about his bitcoins, & now look.
SOPA, PIPA & now we're back to CISPA.
What is CISPA?
It's the "Cyber Intelligence Sharing & Protection Act". It is a U.S. law only, but once implemented, other govt's around the globe are sure to implement their own variation. It allows private firms to go round existing privacy laws, & collect data(e.g. E-Mail, txt msg's, any of your data stored in the cloud) & be delivered to the US Govt., all without any judicial oversite.
As Australia is laying it's own 'fibre' network this sort of law will pass alot easier, as it will be a Govt. Asset.
Zdnet has a good FAQ on the subject.
A must read for anyone if you have a interest in SOPA, PIPA OR CISPA

Samsung Australia has signalled that the Aussie release of the Samsung Galaxy S4, will have the Quadcore Snapdragon processor from Qualcom.
There was some speculation that we'd get Samsung's own octocore Exynos.
Is the decision not to, influenced by the power drain on the battery, being too much from a LTE based, octocore machine???
