EDITOR'S NOTE

Good afternoon,

Quite a mixed bag of news for you this afternoon - from an update on an online protest against internet filtering, to behind-the-scenes shots of the technology that runs both the Australian (Tennis) Open and Google StreetView.

There is also a piece on a job advertisement that caught our attention: anyone want to manage Australia's telecommunications network in Antarctica? Cool.

-- Brett Winterford
