Is Someone Watching You Online? The Security Risks Of The Internet of Things
The range and number of “things” connected to the internet is truly astounding, including security cameras, ovens, alarm systems, baby monitors and cars. They’re are all going online, so they can be remotely monitored and controlled over the internet.

Australia's New $5 Note Design Will Help The Vision Impaired
The Reserve Bank announced back in February that a new $5 note would be out from 1 September 2016. Today, it has revealed that we’ll get to see the new design on 12 April.
The note will be the same basic colours, size and “include the same people” so it looks like we shouldn’t be expecting a radical redesign in the looks department. What will be new is a ‘tactile’ feature to help the vision-impaired distinguish between different denominations of banknotes.

On Twitter's 10th Birthday, We Ask: Are All First Tweets This Boring?
It’s Twitter’s 10th birthday today! Over the years the platform has grown into something far greater than even Twitter imagined. “From the rise of #auspol to catalogue the Australian political scene, to #illridewithyou, which saw Australians band together in the wake of the Sydney siege, Twitter has changed how the world communicates by giving everyone a voice,” Twitter said in a statement today.
But do you remember your first tweet? In celebration of reaching a decade of micro-blogging, Twitter have released the first tweets of some prominent Aussies. And as it turns out, first tweets are kind of, well, boring. Even the first tweet ever is best described as “meh”.
Foxtel Might Be Adding Netflix To Its Upcoming Streaming Service
With over a million subscribers, Netflix has firmly established itself as the content streaming service in Australia, and Foxtel is taking notice. With Foxtel continuing to work on its own on-demand streaming service and accompanying hardware, bulking up the online viewing catalogue is a priority — as is ensuring it is legitimate competition.
