Rough days on a rolling campaign to nowhere Have any two political leaders ever simultaneously polarised the electorate in the way that Julia Gillard and Tony Abbott demonstrably do right now? And has there ever been so much political savagery and manic participation from political partisans in this part of the political cycle, maybe the best part of three years away from the next federal election? These are rough days for a government still finding its way and crippled by a history of wasteful spending, and yet the opposition seems incapable of exploiting any of it. Fire, rain, tears and fears The Mad Monk seemed convinced in yesterday's press conference. Channel 10's curmudgeonly Steve Price seemed to have bought it. One BBC blogger dared suggest it might be a "turning point in her beleaguered prime ministership". Am I the only one who didn't buy the PM's tears? Cards on the table I used to work for her. I voted for her government. I was vocally chuffed at her getting the job way back when. This isn't an anti-Gillard rant. But cards on the table, I certainly didn't buy yesterday's tears. The saga of Bolivia's coca culture The west's obsessive war on illicit drugs via prohibition is farcical, as an attempt to stop a Bolivian push to decriminalise the chewing of coca leaves shows. Spinning glamour: Warnie 'n' Liz Liz Hurley has touched down in Australia to get touched up by Shane Warne, and it's sent the media into a frenzy. Tantrums and tears: why does anyone care? All yesterday, talk-back radio quizzed its listeners about Gillard's tears. That show of emotion, asked the announcers. Was it real? Or was she just putting on the tears for the cameras? Here's a third question. Why does anyone care? We need a political media that takes less of an interest in tears and tantrums and other trivialities, and more of an interest in stuff that actually matters.

Google Translate for iPhone

By Kyle VanHemert

Google Translate for iPhone

While perhaps not quite as HOLY CRAP futuristic as Word Lens, Google Translate is a tool that can actually help you when you're travelling abroad. The new iPhone app lets you translate phrases both talked and typed in dozens of languages.

What is it?

Google Translate, free, iPhone Though a web app's been around for a few years, the newly minted Google Translate iPhone app has been polished up and enhanced with a few new features that make it an essential download. It accepts voice input for 15 languages and translates phrases into over fifty. You can then listen to those translated phrases spoken out loud in 23 languages using the same speech synthesizer as the desktop app. Magnifique!

You can star your favorite phrases for later reference, look up specific words in a dictionary, or—and this is smart—tap a full screen icon to make the translated phrase take up your whole display. You know, like when you're waving it in some poor taxi driver's face? The app works as well as you'd hope—occasionally it mangles phrases when you're not enunciating them per.fect.ly—but in general it's a great resource.

Who's it good for?

Pretty much anyone who travels. Or really just pretty much anyone.

Why's it better than alternatives?

It's free and its versatile enough to work in several translation-requiring situations. It's one of those few apps that elevates your smartphone from more than just a device of distraction to a high-tech swiss army knife.

How could it be even better?

Expand the languages that you can hear results in—it's much easier than trying to stumble through a phonetic pronunciation yourself.

Google Translate, iPhone | iTunes

We're always looking for cool apps—for iOS, Android, Windows Phone or whatever else—to feature as App of the Day. If you come across one you think we should take a look at, please let us know.

Tears, stares and a media frenzy Yesterday, Canberra had resolved to spend the day in quiet contemplation of memories of floods and losses. But by sunset, two fresh images took hold. The first was the tear-streaked face of the Prime Minister, whose uncharacteristic sobs interrupted her thoughtfully-written speech about the horrors this summer brought. The second image that moved in late yesterday was the face of Tony Abbott, locked in an unforgettable death-stare directed at the Seven Network's political reporter Mark Riley. What a ruthless monopoly the visual image has. Pox Americana Don't mark the end of the Cold War in 1991 as our conventional histories do. Mark it in the early days of 2011. Still not OK to be gay Changing attitudes and behaviour is as important as changing laws when it comes to the LGBT community. I love a sunburnt skeptic It really gets on my goat that people keep quoting Dorothy Mackellar's My Country as proof that there is no such thing as climate change. Beyond the chaos, federalism lives on The critics of political theatre suggest Anna Bligh has shown successful leadership during the Queensland floods and Cyclone Yasi. Julia Gillard's notices have been somewhat less positive. Trying to emote in front of TV cameras, she's looked wooden. Like Samuel L Jackson in the Star Wars prequels, Gillard is talented but the script gives her nothing work with. That's a show of leadership succeeding at the state level, and failing at the federal level. So aren't you glad we still have states?
