A message to Tony Abbott A message to Tony Abbot: one part of your party is playing with fire. If senior Australian politicians are revealed as playing with explicit anti-Islamic rhetoric, we will feed this extremism and force young Muslims into the hands of recruiters for Islamist causes. Moderate Australian Muslims must cringe when they read that conservative politicians are planning to stigmatise them and their community. Wurley all the way for mainstream digital journalism In the old newspaper model, the connection between content and sales was indirect, and difficult to fathom. But editors now have concrete evidence that Shane Warne and Liz Hurley, shark attacks, UFO sightings and sport score far more clicks than the earnest outpourings of the Canberra press gallery. Unless news organisations like Fairfax and News Ltd can create apps that have the right mix of content and functionality to attract users, the last best hope for mainstream 'quality journalism' may prove a pipedream. Values, freedoms and multiculturalism: you can't have it all On one hand Bowen applauds multiculturalism, on the other hand he argues for the acceptance of 'traditional Australian values'. You cannot have it both ways. Scott Morrison: putting the alpenhorn into dog whistling Has no-one explained to the shadow minister for immigration the ground-rules for the use of a dog whistle? Those who toot upon this fabled instrument do so with a complex purpose; to reach certain ears, while maintaining plausible deniability of a darker motive. This nuance appears to have escaped Mr Morrison, who is reported to have enjoined colleagues, in a meeting last year, to use community concerns about Muslim immigration for the Coalition's advantage. Morrison, it seems, is a new breed: the Audible Whistler. NBN vs 4G: the contest is already over There is a new 'broadband cringe' that now claims that American-style broadband is better than Australian-style broadband.

By Brian Barrett IBM Jeopardy Challenge Finale: Follow It Here Live Tonight is the final battle between IBM's Jeopardy-playing Watson computer and humanity's two greatest quiz show gladiators. And because I just moved to a state that buries epic man vs. machine battles at 4:30 CST, I'm going to liveblog it early for you all. Spoilers, and the possible end of mankind as we know it, ahead. For a quick primer on how the contest has shaped up so far, check out our round-ups of the first scrimmage, the evenly matched first round, and last night's total computer domination. Tonight's the rubber match. Let's rumble. 5:30 - Watson gets a much more lengthy introduction than Ken Jennings and Brad Rutter. Favoritism. Don't like it. 5:31 - "Luck of the draw has given Watson the first selection." Sure. Luck. 5:31 - Watson goes straight for European Union category, instantly snaps up $200 on Istanbul softball. 5:32 - Brad rings in with an incorrect EU response, but Watson also screws up. If it bleeds, we can kill it! 5:34 - Humans are on the board! Brad gets two in a row to dig out of a hole. Ken follows up with two more. Watson doesn't know much about actors who also direct, apparently. 5:34 - First commercial break. Watson $4,200; Ken $3,600; Brad $600. And man do these guys (and machine) move fast. 5:35 - I'd like to use this commercial break to point out that Watson cheats, and I'm not just saying that because I'm a sore loser. Okay, yes I am. Still, though, how is it fair that it's hard-wired into the game board? 5:36 - Too bad none of these categories came up today. And that Watson will have no one to hug after its victory. 5:37 - Looks like they may do an interview portion! Although looks like we're just talking about whose prize money is going to which charities. 5:38 - Some IBM suit is explaining that Watson's winnings are going to World Vision and World Community Grid. Let the machine speak for himself, suit. 5:38 - Watson starts off with a quick correct answer after the break. 5:39 - KEN GOES TRUE DAILY DOUBLE. 5:40 - And he's correct with "Martin Luther King"! The IBM crowd tentatively applauds. Human takes a commanding lead. 5:40 - Humans continue to dominate actors who direct category. Maybe Double Jeopardy will have Directors Who Act? 5:42 -Closing out the first round. Ken $8600, Watson $4800, Brad $2400. 5:42 - Second commercial break. The best part about all this has been seeing Watson's probability meter right? I wish we could see what else Ken and Brad were thinking about too. Probably LOVE or some other HUMAN EMOTION. 5:43 - Or just, like, how great it is to have a soul. 5:44 - Back for Double Jeopard. "What to Wear" is a category, which presumably Watson will be at a disadvantage for. 5:45 - Watson's first correct response comes four or five questions in. "What are tools?" Indeed, Watson. Indeed. 5:46 - Watson hits a Daily Double and gives one of his batshit wagers. 5:46 - AND GETS IT WRONG. Guessed the author instead of the title of the book. He's trailing Ken by almost $10,000. 5:47 - Watson storms back. You wouldn't like him when he's angry. 5:48 - Watson hits another Daily Double but bets only a few hundred dollars. Gets it right, but still trails Ken. 5:49 - Brad looks frustrated. Ken looks eager. Watson looks like a big dumb machine. 5:50 - As expected, Watson can't handle the "What To Wear" category. None of the answers so far has been silicon. 5:50 - Double Jeopardy round is done. Watson $23440, Ken $18200, Brad $5600. 5:51 - Final jeopardy category is 19th century novelists. Which sounds like one of those fact-based questions that's lodged securely in his database. Looking bad for the meat puppets. 5:53 - Possible drinking games for when you watch tonight: drink every time Watson says something kind of human sounding, every time Brad looks like he's breaking his thumb on the buzzer, every time you're pretty sure Watson is the fifth horseman of the Apocalypse. 5:54 - Also, again, sore loser, but did you know Watson crashed multiple times during this taping? I don't think Ken would've gotten a time out for low blood sugar. 5:55 - Final Jeopardy Q: "William Wilkinson's An Account of the Principalities of Wallachia and Moldavia" inspired this author's most famous novel." 5:56 - A: Bram Stoker. Brad gets it right, but he's too far behind for it to matter. 5:56 - Ken gets it right, too. As part of his wager: "I for one welcome our new computer overlord." Only bet a grand, because what's the point? 5:57 - Watson, naturally, owns it. Game over. I'll spare you the final score so you've got some reason to watch tonight still. It's not as bad as yesterday, at least. 5:58 - And that's it! The good news is, lots of charities got lots of money, and Watson represents a huge breakthrough in computing. The bad news is, yeah. We're doomed. Thanks for joining me in the meantime! Share this:

The price of politics: the death of compassion Politicians Scott Morrison and Tony Abbott have admitted they were insensitive and wrong to make a fuss about the funeral arrangements for the Christmas island boat tragedy victims. However, Immigration Minister Chris Bowen sent a deeply traumatised 10-year-old orphan 5,000 kilometres back to Christmas Island immediately after the funerals instead of allowing him to stay with family in Sydney, and Barnaby Joyce is still demanding to know how much it cost to fly family members to the funerals. Is this the necessary price of politics? Laying democracy on the table This week a Senate petition with only three signatures has sparked the kind of publicity most petitioners dream about. Tangentopoli to bunga bunga: a wasted chance Silvio Berlusconi has held the reins in Italy now for most of the last decade. He must have begun to think himself untouchable. A sorry tale, this King's Speech Artless, bland and overly traditional: there's nothing in The King's Speech to talk about. Confidence in our navy is sinking without trace It doesnÂ't take a rocket scientist to know that our Navy is in deep, troubled water.
