LATE EDITION

Editor's Note

Good afternoon,

Today Darren Yates fires up our labs to take a closer look at MySQL - this time benchmarking the impact of five free tweaks that can help optimise your database performance.

Okay, so you might not get to the scale of big MySQL users like Facebook or Twitter overnight, but every little bit helps!

As with most of our Labs work, we've reserved this piece exclusively for iTnews subscribers, so make sure you have your username and password handy.

- Brett Winterford

	rycrozier @rycrozier	Huh. So NBN Co is paying ISPs to sell services without battery backup. http://t.co/e24kE3wq2r

	Kenneth Tsang @jxeeno	@rycrozier It's to drive up informed consent. Most RSPs are still lazy and don't ask customers if they want backup battery.

	Darren Yates @darrenyatesau	If you are planning to sign up to the NBN, DO NOT give up your battery-backup option.

	Darren Yates @darrenyatesau	If power fails under the NBN, it should not be a requirement to rely on mobile phones to make emergency calls. That's a joke. (cont.)

	Darren Yates @darrenyatesau	Mobile networks cannot cope in regional areas during bushfire emergencies. Telstra wheeled in portable towers to cope last October.

	Lara Giddings @LaraGiddings	Confirmed Lib broken promise!! #NBN I remember people saying before the election 'its alright we have assurances'. http://t.co/JqoF1xm7O1

	Jon Bays @BaysNet	Parliament urges Qld Govt to recruit privacy commissioner http://t.co/kX8S2KrTBR via @itnews_au

	Jon Bays @BaysNet	@iTnews_au Just shows how much the government cares about protecting peoples privacy doesn't it.
