G’DAY WORLD #292 – Jason Roks, The Real News (X | Media | Lab)
My final interview from the X | Media | Labs event I attended last month. This one is with Jason Roks, currently acting as a Technical Advisor with The Real News, a non-profit news and documentary network focused on providing independent and uncompromising journalism. Jason talks to me about the vision for The Real News as well as his concerns about Net Neutrality.

G’DAY WORLD #291 – Three ISPs Talk Broadband In Australia
IN G’Day World #291 I feature three interviews I have completed over recent weeks with senior executives from three of Australia’s top ISPs:
- Ravi Bhatia, CEO of Primus
- Simon Hackett, CEO of Internode
- Ben Dunscombe, Regulatory Affairs Manager, Netspace
In a way, these interviews are a response to the show I did with Dr Phil Burgess from Telstra a few months ago (G’Day World #211).
You’ve all heard various people, including Telstra and Senator Coonan, state that Australia is lagging the world in broadband. So I asked these gents for their perspective.
I’ll be interested to know what you think of their answers.

NYT article on Ayn Rand
“Ayn Rand’s Literature of Capitalism” is the title of a new article written by HARRIET RUBIN for The New York Times.
“The Fountainhead” and “Atlas Shrugged” are two of the most influential books I have ever read. I was fortunate enough to have them recommended to me when I was in my early 20s and I have read both of them more times than I can remember since then. They never fail to inspire me to try to achieve everything I can with my life.
Stan Doverman calls me a “try-hard wanker”
In the comments section to my 2Clix post, someone going by the name of “Stan Doverman” criticized my advice to 2Clix and then, when I asked him to demonstrate his mental acuity and explain where my advice was so misguided, Stan, following in the long tradition of people without anything to contribute, could only flail around and attempt to insult me personally.
Why, Stan Doverman, didn’t you explain where I went so wrong?
Why, Stan Doverman, didn’t you contribute to the conversation, instead of just lapsing into childish insults?
Why, Stan Doverman, weren’t you able to back up your assertions with ideas, advice, suggestions instead of opprobrium?
If you want to participate in the conversation, Stan Doverman, come prepared next time with more than invective. You are always welcome. I don’t mind intelligent criticism. I laugh, however, at mindless abuse. It’s pathetic.
