Billionaire Microsoft co-founder in third battle for his life

You can’t say “some people have all the luck” when you see Paul Allen’s mansion on the shore of Mercer Island, his airplanes, superyachts and vast land holdings in Seattle. The son of a Seattle librarian became one of the richest people in the world when he and childhood pal Bill Gates struck it rich after starting Microsoft in 1975. But today Allen’s sister disclosed that he’s been diagnosed with non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, a cancer similar to the one he battled 25 years ago, a life-changing experience that prompted him to retire early from Microsoft.

Thodey: NBN speeds a hard sell

Telstra chief executive David Thodey today said that realism was needed on how many people would take up high speed services offered by the National Broadband Network (NBN) given that only 5 per cent of the telco’s home customers had taken up its fast ADSL2+ service. David Thodey at the Symposium (Credit: Suzanne Tindal/ZDNet.com.au) “Let’s be clear,” he said to an audience today at the annual Gartner Symposium in Sydney, “the demand is still latent.” “We offer quite a large number of high speed access technologies today and I think we would be lucky to have even at the home, with ADSL2+, 5 per cent of our customers maybe on 20Mbps,” he continued.

Outsourced check-in fails Qantas

Qantas check-ins were thrown into disarray last night due to a problem with the system provided to it by travel system specialist Amadeus. (Qantas 747-300 image by planegeezer , CC2.0 ) The system went down at around 5pm in the afternoon, meaning that staff had to use manual procedures for check-in, causing delays of around an hour to domestic and international flights, according to a Qantas spokesperson. “There were extensive delays across our international and domestic networks,” the spokesperson said, adding, however, that there were no cancellations and all flights met curfew arrangements.

Streaming AVI to PS3 stutters, but DVDs are perfect!

Hey everyone! I’m experiencing a very interesting situation here with my PS3…I can stream DVDs to my PS3 no problem (using PS3 Media Server, I just point it at the VIDEO_TS folder and it works great), but when I try to stream a DivX/Xvid movie, I get periodic stuttering. This stuttering usually lasts about 5 seconds in length and can appear as often as every 30 seconds…although sometimes I’m lucky and can go a full 10 minutes without a stutter.

26 inch avi, mkv playback

Hi, Im looking for a TV for our bedroom (ideally 26 inch but thats not set in stone). We will barely use it but due to a real lack of space it will be on the wall and i dont have room for DVD player, popcorn decoder etc and will occasionally want to watch films on it and the all in ones (dvd inc within TV) seem to be a lot thicker (again space is a real issue here) so i was looking at something that had a USB connector allowing play back of AVI and/OR MKV files. Anyone any suggestions?
