Finally there’s protection against spams and scams

WORRIED about spams and scams coming through the portal? Don’t know what to do about it?

Finally, someone has come up with a solution.

An Australian electronics company has taken the p*** out of Communications Minister Stephen Conroy by launching a bizarre new product.

Earlier this month Senator Conroy found himself tripping over his tongue while trying to explain to SBS News why cyber security was important.

“There’s a staggering number of Australians being in having their computers infected at the moment,” he said on camera.

“Up to 20,000… can regularly be getting infected by these spams, or scams, that come through the portal.”

Watch Senator Conroy on SBS News:

The phrase, which makes almost no sense, has since become something of an internet joke, with geeks across the country remixing Senator Conroy’s “spams and scams” line.

Technology blog Gizmodo even ran a Photoshop contest to see who could best visualize the problem. You can see the results here.

Now electronics company Kogan Technologies has joined the party with the launch of a fake product called the Portector.

With full portal compatibility and an 8000 thread-count, the Portector provides “direct physical protection from threats coming through the internet portal”.

“It is the most exciting product we’ve released to date. Our engineers have been working very hard on this one,” said company founder Ruslan Kogan.

Watch the Portector video demonstration:

Needless to say, it’s not a real product.

Maldives: Paradise threatened?

In 2009, while attending the premiere of "The Age of Stupid" (a British climate-catastrophe movie), Nasheed unveiled a plan to make the Maldives the world's first carbon-neutral nation by 2020.

"Climate change is a global emergency," Nasheed said, introducing a proposal involving wind turbines, giant solar panels and biomass plant-burning projects. "The world is in danger of going into cardiac arrest, yet we behave as if we've caught a common cold."

There is heartbreaking irony in all of this: The first landmass victim of human rapaciousness could be a place that defines tropical flawlessness, a nation that is clean, peaceful and doing its best to be green. The Maldives is also a favored playground of the rich, including many Middle Eastern sheiks and Russian magnates who made their fortunes on fossil fuels.

NO, Cold Snap Doesn't Negate Global Warming

No, the cold snap in some parts of the northern hemisphere (New York, Florida, Beijing, Northern India, Europe) does not mean that manmade global warming is not happening, or even that it's happening just a little less.

This is, of course, an old story...and more and more 5th graders are bringing it home from their science classes to get their parents up to date on the latest climate science.

Bottom line -- fast and simple? Three points:

1. Weather is not climate.

2. Manmade global warming means less frequent cold snaps (not none at all) and more frequent heat waves -- just as we've been having.

3. You know (don't you?) about the record high temperatures this week in Washington State, Alaska and Bulgaria in the Northern Hemisphere -- plus, down south, the record-breaking high temperatures in New Zealand, and the second hottest year on record (after 2005) in Australia?
