After going through a year-long rigmarole of summonses and interrogations to find out why Australians are being overcharged by as much as 66 percent on digitally-distributed Apple, Microsoft and Adobe products, and how the practice of "geo-blocking" prevents customers from seeking fairer prices elsewhere, an Australian parliamentary committee has finally hit on a solution. In the words of committee chairman Nick Champion, speaking to ABC News:
"What we want to do is make sure that consumers are aware of the extent to which geo-blocking applies to them and the extent to which they can lawfully evade [it]."
Now, if you were hoping that the Australian government would somehow force these companies to drop their prices down to US-equivalent levels, then this quote may admittedly sound a bit weak. It might also seem impractical, since geo-blocking is designed to be difficult to evade, by binding a customer's IP address, credit card or other details to their home market. Then again, things start to make more sense when we factor in the committee's other suggestions.
In particular, it proposes that the country's Copyright Act be amended to make it clear that an Australian won't be prosecuted just because they annoyed a multinational tech company by circumventing its geographic restrictions -- and, indeed, the population as a whole should be taught "tools and techniques" to achieve this wherever possible. The committee even recommends that Australians should have a "right of resale," such that they could legally remove locks on digital content that limits it to one user or one ecosystem. We have no idea how seriously the government will take these ideas, or how quickly it may implement them, but the committee's defiant tone makes for some good reading at the source link.

The report put the proportion of seven to nine-year-olds and 10 to 12-year-olds accessing the internet at 58.6 and 77.1 percent respectively.
It showed that 57.5 percent of the respondents use mobile phones, 26 percent use Twitter-like microblogs, and 17.9 percent use tablet computers.
China's netizen population, the world's largest, continues to grow and reached 591 million at the end of June, according to the China Internet Network Information Center.

Some studies of at-risk populations suggest that up to half of the people tested for HIV never return to the doctor's office to find out their test results. While many of these people may simply forget to return or deem the results unimportant, it is likely that a portion of people don't return because they don't want to know the results.
In three studies, Jennifer Howell and James Shepperd of the University of Florida investigated whether prompting people to contemplate their reasons for seeking and avoiding the health information would make them more willing to receive their medical results.
The results of these experiments are published in Psychological Science, a journal of the Association for Psychological Science.
Participants filled out a motives questionnaire intended to make them think thoroughly about the reasons underlying their decision to seek or avoid their results. Questions included: "Learning that I am at high risk for diabetes would be distressing," or "I would regret not learning my risk for diabetes."
All participants also filled out a diabetes risk calculator and received the opportunity to learn their risk. Those who filled out the motives questionnaire before deciding whether to learn their risk were more likely to choose to see their results than those who filled it out after deciding whether to learn their risk. The same trend emerged when participants generated their own reasons for seeking or avoiding their risk for cardiovascular disease. Together, these two studies suggest that prompting people to contemplate their reasons for seeking or avoiding health information makes them more likely to seek out information about their own health risks.
But it turns out that this effect was only applicable for conditions that are treatable. In the last experiment, some participants were told that TAA deficiency a made-up condition was treatable, and some were told it was not. Contemplation made participants more likely to seek out their test results when they thought the condition was treatable, but not when they thought it was an untreatable disease.
As medical treatments become more advanced, early detection and intervention will become increasingly important. Simply asking patients to contemplate the reasons they would seek or avoid their screening results may make them more likely to follow up with their doctor, thus reducing the public health burden.

Organizers said the demonstration was part of a campaign called ?Summer Heat,? noting that the last half of July is statistically the year?s ?hottest stretch.? In a touch of irony, the protest came on one of July?s most pleasant days, one distinguished by below-normal temperatures and uncommonly low humidity.

The left-hander smashed five sixes and four boundaries after a three-wicket haul from unorthodox spinner Ajantha Mendis had reduced the tourists to 154-7 in the 42nd over.
South Africa need a win to stay afloat in the five-match series, having lost the first two games in Colombo.
The Proteas, missing star batsman Hashim Amla due to a knee injury suffered in the previous match, had slipped to 100-5 after winning the toss in the day-night match.
Skipper AB de Villiers led the recovery with 47, before Miller pushed the scoring with his fifth one-day half-century, the first by a South African in the series.
Miller put on 69 for the eighth wicket with Ryan McLaren, who remained unbeaten on 14.
Angelo Mathews was back to lead Sri Lanka after serving a two-match suspension for his team's slow over-rates during the recent tri-series in the West Indies.
Sling-arm fast bowler Lasith Malinga provided an early break for the third time in the series when he had Alviro Petersen gloving a catch to the wicket-keeper in the fifth over.
South Africa carried the score to 50-1 in the 14th over when seamer Thisara Perera removed Quinton de Kock and JP Duminy in successive overs to make it 53-3.
Faf du Plessis helped de Villiers put on 42 for the fourth wicket before being run out for 16 after his partner called for a risky single.
Mendis bowled both Farhaan Behardien and Robin Peterson, and had danger man de Villiers caught behind to finish with three for 35 from his 10 overs.
Both sides made three changes from the previous match.
Amla was replaced by de Kock and the visitors also included Behardien and Lonwabo Tsotsobe in place of Aaron Phangiso and Chris Morris.
The hosts brought in Mathews, Mendis and debutant batsman Angelo Perera for Shaminda Eranga, Lahiru Thirimanne and Jehan Mubarak.
