Carbon tax unearths Gillard's royal doppelganger Before dawn, Julia Gillard rose. After styling her hair into a warlike, blood-red helmet (and eschewing prayers, for obvious and widely-reported reasons) she rode forth, at twenty minutes past seven, into battle; an interview with Alan Jones. Gillard has always shared some attributes with Elizabeth I, the Tudors' Virgin Queen. Lately she seems to be channelling her even more. Liar, liar, shock jocks on fire Indigenous Australia: Make the world take notice The time has come for Australia's world-class medical and educational institutions to reach out, convincingly, into each and every corner of Aboriginal Australia. Carbon pricing: where death and taxes collide The carbon price architecture sketched by Labor and the Greens raises as many questions as it answers but one thing is clear: kicking off with a fixed price means it is born as a tax, not some quasi market-based system. The Government is terrified of the words "carbon tax", because it clearly breaks a promise made by Gillard before the last election. But there are strong arguments that a tax is better than an Emissions Trading System, if you have crossed the Rubicon that demands any response at all to the perceived threat of climate change. Egypt, Obama, Bush and the 'freedom agenda' Why the controversy over an American 'freedom agenda'? Has democracy promotion became so associated with Bush and the neo-cons that it is now akin to a partisan cause?

By Sam Biddle The Five Essential Best Picture Winners for Tech Lovers Pop some popcorn and zip up your Oscar watchin' pants, because the 83rd Academy Awards are this Sunday. To get us all in the proper cinematic mood, we've rounded up our five favorite tech-heavy Best Picture-winning flicks. Around the World in 80 Days Sure, its special effects are a bit quaint by our spoiled modern standards, but 1956's globetrotting caper was perhaps the first to make technology—the hot air balloon—central to the picture. So it's not the most advanced piece of technology, but Phileas Fogg's adventure is only possible because of it. To approximate the view from the balloon, the film's producers took advantage of Todd-AO—a special effects technique that projected scenery onto a giant curved screen. A 2011 remake would probably have Fogg just checking in the various places around the world on Foursquare while lying on his couch. The Greatest Show on Earth Director Cecil B. DeMille's opening narration says it all: "But behind all this, the circus is a massive machine whose very life depends on discipline, motion and speed...a mechanized army on wheels that rolls over any obstacle in its path...that meets calamity again and again, but always comes up smiling...a place where disaster and tragedy stalk the Big Top, haunt the backyards, and ride the circus rails...where Death is constantly watching for one frayed rope, one weak link, or one trace of fear." Metal! Lights! Giant tents! Trains full of various sharp-toothed animals! Beyond its enormous (and technically ambitious) production values, this 1952 circus ode highlights the technological underpinnings of the spectacle—a show that's just as much a feat of engineering as acrobatics and animal abuse. The Bridge on the River Kwai A hallowed classic. Alec Guinness, not being Obi Wan! But beyond being a cinema history jewel, David Lean's 1957 winner is about blowing shit up. Namely, the (!) bridge on the River Kwai. The film follows the harrowing wartime engineering efforts of British POWs and commandos, as they struggle to build and subsequently destroy an enormous bridge. Technical ingenuity, both constructive and destructive, are at the fore. And if there's anything that gets our geeky hearts beating quickly, it's a tremendous explosion. And hey, the acting ain't half bad either (ergo, Oscar). Titanic Okay, just give me a chance to explain, here! It might be a bit hokey in retrospect—YOU JUMP I JUMP, RIGHT?—but if you sweep away all the melodrama and Celine Dion, Titanic is at its heart a film about humans and technology. Namely, the ways humans can really screw things up through technology. The Titanic still stands as a tribute to our hubris as users of tech, bad design, engineering audacity, and the limits of just how big and crazy we can create. The Hurt Locker Similar to Titanic, The Hurt Locker is fundamentally about the dangerous intersections of tech and the human mind. On the one hand, we have the terrible genius of the IED's maker. On the other, the stoic, scientific approach of defusing. In the middle, we've got a person. It's an incredibly tense film, and an ominous reminder that "technology' isn't a word with universally great connotations—not when you're the one risking your legs being blown off. Share this:
