nbn™ says nobody needs gigabit internet, trumpets XG-Fast at 8Gbps anyway
nbn™, the organisation building and operating Australia's National Broadband Network (NBN), has announced trials of fibre-to-the-curb and broadband-over-copper technology XG-fast that hit 8Gbps on 30 metres of copper in lab trials. It's also done tests that produced “5Gbps peak aggregate speed being achieved over 70 metres of twisted-pair copper”. Which is lovely. But also confusing because nbn™ has previously argued that gigabit-per-second speeds just aren't necessary at home and won't be for ..>> view originalApple car: How tech giant backed away from game-changing plan

Samsung has seriously cranked up the speed (and capacities) of its flagship drives to the point where such ludicrous performance may be lost on all but the most demanding of users.

Samsung’s Galaxy Note 7 was expected to ship around 20 million units over its lifetime. An inflammable battery emphatically put paid to that - with the potential loss of tens of millions of more sales from “contagion”. In the short term, some five to seven million Note 7 owners are looking for an alternative. Most, it is reasonable to assume, would prefer to stick w..>> view originalDolphin calf spotted off Cairns wrapped in marine debris
