Never mind the tax PM, feel the renewables Coverage of the meetings between Australian Prime Minister Julia Gillard and the administration of US President Barack Obama is missing one of the biggest stories of all. On climate change Julia Gillard should learn from Barack Obama, who is making gains by winning the 'positive' debate about energy independence, security and cost. A good bargain and a glass of milk I cannot imagine how those bargain bottles of milk in my fridge can help our farmers, battling to stay upright in this vicious market economy. Small request from Generation Y I'm just so tired of hearing Baby Boomers and Gen Xers speaking 'authoritatively' on Generation Y. Really, how would you know? Will no-one rid us of this troublesome Hanson? When I heard Pauline Hanson was running in the NSW election, I found myself getting angry. Who does she think she is coming into our state and trying to take the jobs of our NSW MLCs? Price on carbon: show me the money Climate Change True Believers don't count the cost of saving our planet. That's admirable but who will actually get the money when we put a price on carbon? Now that the Government has announced that we will have a carbon tax by 2012 and that it will be replaced by a Cap and Trade system a few years later, this is a question that must be answered.

By Kyle VanHemert The Most Impressive Home Theater in the Entire Star System Tucked away in a palatial Hawaiian home and packed with high-tech accouterments, I can't imagine a better place to watch a film than this incredible Star Wars-inspired home theater. Unless you were trying to watch a Western or something. The house itself is stunning. 10,000 square feet of contemporary design; six flat panel HDTVs each with their own futuristic touchscreen remote from Creston (each with one button—"WATCH DVD"—that sets all the correct inputs and eliminates headaches). But I'm pretty sure I'd be spending all my time in the theater. It has life-size R2-D2 and C-3PO replicas that talk to the audience (I assume 3PO stays quiet during the actual screenings), a ceiling featuring a three-dimensional fiber optic scarscape, and a motorized pocket door that serves as the entrance, just like you'd find on a Corellian Cruiser. The designers, Acoustic Innovations of Boca Raton, FL, didn't want the gear to break the intergalactic illusion, so they hid it: acoustic panels on the walls were designed to look like starship doors, equipment racks turn 180 degrees, so they can be concealed by a concave cabinet, and the Runco DLP projector that makes the magic happen is hidden inside a soffit in the rear of the room. The screen is a curved, anamorphic 107-inch display from Stewart Filmscreen, which is acoustically transparent to accomodate the five speakers behind it. The only problem with the whole space-age setup? The popcorn is freeze dried.
