EDITORIALWhy is Steve Job’s destroying Apple

Well its probably not him personally, but many people at Apple misunderstand the company and why it was special, and why it is no more.

The new version of OSX was recently released with many changes, many of these make it very similar to iOS on iPhones and iPads. Which as we all know is the OS of the simpleminded. Its basic. I don't want OSX to be cannibalised into an iPad with a keyboard. I want OSX to be the innovating system that it used to be several years ago. I remember staying up late reading about Apple release new features and products, and they were magical at the time. I think that magic is gone. 

Once the underdog, that position is now far gone, and with it a new way of thinking. It’s no longer Apple hoping that you will like their next latest product or feature, its them telling you will and forcing you to do so. A recent example is the removal of the Macbook from their lineup. Now you can get an Macbook Air or Pro. Now whats wrong with that. Apple have removed a basic entry level mac, making it harder to own one once again. It is however more about the tech that the Air doesn't have, such as a disc drive. We know Apple makes lots of money through iTunes and wouldn't want you to purchase a DVD to play.  

I am well aware that this is most likely the way of the future, but I don't like being pushed into something, and I most certainly don’t like be forced into something. Maybe this is now old thinking.  

Apple used to be special, their products used to be special, and yes while many of you will still buy Apple because of that white little logo, is it really the same as what it used to be. It is really special anymore?

“PRESIDENTSWelcome to the new Rivcoll Board!

Welcome to our new members Scott and Jack! I look forward to doing some serious representation with you both. A welcome also to our unofficial members Gemma and Stuart (sadly not enrolled from our campus but happy to help out). We also have a new Vice President Dick, we would like to recognise the services of David Bate and thank him for his representation in the position of Vice President.

Rivcoll would like to thank our members that we have lost, Dean, Catherine, Andrea and Amy. You are all great people and representatives and Rivcoll thanks you for your Representation.

We have been planning Oweek. There are a great many things that we would like to improve on for next year and we are going to be well on top of it before it arrives. Some of the things that we have been hitting up and will be meeting about this week will be merchandise (and all Bag items), involvement with RA’s and Coordinators as well as Student Services.

Big on our list at the moment is DE Representation and Accommodation issues. We are creating a survey for DE students to cover what we have highlighted are a few topics of concern. Accommodation concerns are on hold for the moment as we have to ask a few questions of CSU before we launch straight into it.

Today, I take my second step towards world domination. Step one: establish a foothold in the Hungappa readership and contribute a weekly article. This will be my method of propaganda, to communicate my grand ideas of salvation and victory, and make people respect my intelligence (or lack thereof). Step two: Implant my face into the article via a fun, comical graphic. This will encourage my subjects to pity their great leader, as they learn how ugly their master looks. However, it will also draw compassion and lead my future slaves to trusting and believing everything I say. Step three: Replace all the sweet chilli dipping sauce in the Nosh Pit with a secret formula I have developed in the school of pharmacology. I call it “Zombazepam” (with the Zombi functional group undiscovered as yet). Step four: My slaves, totally under my control, will build me an X-Wing fighter, armed with proton torpedoes and countermeasures. My slaves will do this without question, as the drug will render them incapable of any rational thought beyond “Wow, an X-Wing! That’s so awesome! Let’s build this shit!”* Step five: Screw world domination, I have an X-Wing. There is nothing in this universe I could possibly want more**.

Nevertheless, I’m still bloody happy with my graphic likeness in this post. The cartoonish, superhero-esque edge it will bring to my articles will add a much needed personal touch, which I felt was lacking before. Watch out for subtle changes to the image in future! Oh, and speaking of cartoons and comics ...

Etcetera’s Lucky Number Edition: Scott Pilgrim vs The World

I have three words to say about this movie. Instant. Cult. Classic. From the witty dialogue and fantastic choice of music, to the anime-style battle scenes and video game references – this movie has all that a young nerd could ever want. Beck providing the music for Sex Bob-Omb was just a masterstroke, as was getting Nigel Godrich to do the soundtrack. These guys are gods of modern day music.

My one criticism of the movie is that it will never reach worldwide adulation, because it is obviously engineered towards Generation Y. I don’t really care, as it’s a nice feeling when a movie is specifically directed at a target market, and it pulls the job off beautifully. On the contrary, Napoleon Dynamite was definitely aimed at our generation, but it was a crock of shit. It is only cool to use target market engineering if it is done well.

Scott Pilgrim vs The World was released in Australia on August 12th, 2010, which means this coming Friday marks one year since it graced our screens. If you haven’t seen it already and you are a member of Gen Y (roughly less than 30), I suggest that you visit your local movie store, or hop on your favourite torrent site (insert look of disapproval) and do your generational duty.

Etcetera promises not to do another film review until next term. Two in three weeks is a bit intense. Also, I’ll try not to talk about music much next time either...

P.S. I hope the picture printed well. The persons behind the manufacture of this article were a little worried about the greyscale.

*Is step three even necessary? I normally think this on a daily basis. However, I do need to have some method of crowd control, as someone could try to steal my X-Wing. Anterograde amnesia, you are my friend.

** I lie. I want a TARDIS more than an X-Wing. But I don’t have stolen Time Lord technology to make it bigger on the inside. Oh well.

CROW BARDEAD LETTER CIRCUS

STONEFIELD

SYDNEY - A man broke into a home in Mosman last Wednesday and strapped what was apparently a 'collar bomb' to the neck of the teenage resident, leaving instructions for her wealthy family to follow. It took ten hours work to free Madeleine Pulver, 18, from the device, which police later determined did not contain any explosives. Bomb technicians, negotiators and detectives attended in response to Pulver's family's report that she had been attacked, and nearby homes were evacuated. NSW Police Assistant Commissioner Murdoch told reporters that the 'collar bomb' "certainly gave the appearance of a legitimate

improvised explosive device. We had to treat it seriously until we could prove otherwise." Police are still unsure why Pulver was targeted, but do not believe that the attack was random. An obscure novel, 'Tai-Pan', which has links to the incident was found to be on a recommended reading list at the school attended by Madeleine's brothers, father, and many of her male friends. Police are investigating this as well as several other lines of inquiry.

WASHINGTON - Standard and Poor's reduced the US credit rating from AAA to AA+ on Friday night for the first time in history. The US had held its triple-A rating since first receiving it from Moody's in 1917. The downgrade came after Democratic and Republican lawmakers finally agreed to raise the US debt ceiling, allowing the government to borrow further funds and avoid defaulting on its financial obligations. However, there has been some dispute about the new rating, with a treasury spokesperson alleging a "two trillion dollar error" in the S&P analysis. According to CNN, S&P have agreed to a review. Meanwhile economists are in debate regarding the effect this new rating will have. Some are declaring this the beginning of ‘Global Financial Crisis 2.0’, whilst others question

whether demand for US debt will really lessen, and suggest that the

economy marker may not take much notice.

AFGHANISTAN - Thirty-eight people died when the Taliban shot down a US special forces helicopter late on Friday (local time). A rocket fired by the insurgents during an anti-Taliban operation struck the Chinook

helicopter as they were preparing to leave, killing thirty-one US troops and seven Afghans. This incident is reportedly the largest death toll to hit foreign troops since American and other international forces invaded Afghanistan in 2001.

Helicopter Attack kills 38

CHRISTMAS ISLAND - Fifty-four mainly Afghan asylum seekers who arrived on Christmas Island last Thursday are proposing a hunger strike in protest to the Australian government's plans to send them to Malasia. Prime Minister Julia Gillard has said that the strike will not affect the government's position, which involves a swap deal with Kuala Lumpur. The group of asylum seekers includes at least 14 people who claim to be unaccompanied minors, and called the Refugee Action Coalition (RAC) on Friday to say, "We are in a

bad way; we need help. We are starting a hunger strike." Mr Rintoul of the RAC is calling on the government to provide the asylum seekers with access to lawyers.

LONDON - Rioters threw petrol bombs, set cars on fire and looted stores when a peaceful rally turned violent on Sunday. One hundred and twenty people marched to Tottenham police station in protest over the fatal shooting of Mark Duggan, 29-year-old father of four, who was killed after allegedly exchanging fire with police officers on Thursday. The crowd of protesters grew to approximately 500 after two police cars were set alight, and violence quickly spread to surrounding residential streets. Riot officers and mounted police struggled to regain

control of the street under continued attacks from the rioters.

The shooting incident which led to the riots is still under investigation by the IPCC.

“FRUGAL STUDENT1. Heal your wounds. A great

old remedy with stale bread is to

use it with some warm milk wrapped in a towel or bandage as

a dressing to bring boils and

abscesses to a head. Just remember once you have successfully applied

the dressing and extracted the infection to throw it away!

2. Bruschetta. Toast your sliced

bread with a drizzle of olive oil, then top it with a little minced

garlic, and freshly chopped tomato and basil.

3. Croutons. To make croutons for

soup and salad toppings, simply toss the bread in a mixture of

olive oil, dried herbs, and salt, and

toast until golden brown with a

crispy in texture.

4. Breadcrumbs. Breadcrumbs are great for topping pasta bakes,

casseroles, and making fried

chicken. Just bake your stale bread on low heat (around 110°C) in

your oven until the bread is extremely dry and brittle. Then

place the bread in your blender or

food processor to create tasty breadcrumbs.

5. Bring stale bread back to life. Revive old bread and make it

soft again by wrapping it in a moist

paper towel and microwaving it for 30 – 40 seconds.

6. French toast. The hardness of

old bread keeps it from absorbing

too much egg that produces soggy toast. Just beat together a couple

eggs, milk, cinnamon, and sugar

(with measurements according to your taste). Then dip the bread

slices into the egg mixture (coating both sides well), and fry

the slices in a pan over medium

heat with butter until golden brown on each side.

7. Clean oil or acrylic paintings. Use stale bread to

remove dirt from oil or acrylic

paintings.

Uses for Stale Bread

• When you have a sick stomach, I find that sipping peppermint tea, or sugar-free peppermint or spearmint chewing gum really helps ease the nausea. Though the strong smell and taste of peppermint or spearmint will not suit everyone, try giving it a go to see if it does help ease your feeling of sickness.

• The common Chinese remedy of Ginger is based on the traditional system of yin and yang, including

hot and cold, and is a great sickness remedy. Try making a tea from grated root ginger by steeping it in boiled water, and leaving it to cool and sip it throughout the day. Otherwise if you don't like drinking tea, you are able to now purchase ginger capsules at some health food stores.

• When you’re feeling nauseated, drinking a glass of water with a splash of apple cider vinegar and a

couple of ice cubes works wonders!

• Eating something dry and salty such as a few crackers is a good solution for treating slight nausea, as it gives you some energy when you’re feeling too sick to eat much.

“MAF WATCHHello students! Welcome to MAFwatch I am your host.

Today we continue our journey into that joyful and amazing place that is the Mature Aged Forum. Frequented by more people than any other forum, posted on more than any other forum and where the really big issues in life are really taken head-on.

Screw lectures and Res Schools, this is where true learning really takes place! Where else will people appreciate all the troubles in your life? Down to you not wanting to cook dinner some night as one poster did last week… 30 sub-posts last look. One of the most curious things about this forum is the fact that people actually care, no matter how stupid or pointless your post is.

Take last Thursday for instance.

Poster Posts: I am so excited about this that I ...

At this stage you have probably clicked on a few of the other posts and you are thinking to yourself ‘gee, I could also do with some excitement. I wonder if I click on this if I will be able to share in this persons excitement’

And you Click…

Poster Posts: to share ...

Deck the halls with boughs of holly, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Tis the season to be jolly, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Don we now our gay apparel, Fa la la, la la la, la la la. Troll the ancient Yule tide carol, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

See the blazing Yule before us,

Fa la la la la, la la la la. Strike the harp and join the chorus. Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Follow me in merry measure, Fa la la la la, la la la la. While I tell of Yule tide treasure, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Fast away the old year passes, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Hail the new, ye lads and lasses, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

Sing we joyous, all together, Fa la la la la, la la la la. Heedless of the wind and weather, Fa la la la la, la la la la.

just add some foot tapping and it is great ...]

Whilst this would seem to be a bit strange on any other forum, posts like this are seen as quite normal and are accepted and in most cases applauded on the MAF forum… 20 odd sub-posts in which conversation went to what people had got or given for Christmas and also for some reason comments about driving on roads in Europe and their strange driving habits.

The MAF community is a truly unique community, where a lot of people with a lot of issues and large range of characters. From the strictest most anal of people to the most ridiculously lax and lame. One post last week was ‘what do wombats eat?’

One lady seems to use the forums as their own blog… I encourage readers to pop on and experience it for themselves because if the MAF forum is anything, an experience is what it actually is.

This has been MAF Watch. I have been your host.

For Forum tipoff ’s please email mafwatch@hotmail.com

Until another week

The event will take place on Wednesday, August 17th from 6 to 8 pm at the Wagga Campus, Bld 14, room 115.

This event is aimed at all public, so bring your friends, your parents, your granny and don’‛t hesitate to spread the word!

For more information, contact Celia Barril at cbarril@csu.edu.au.

See you there!

Having ruffled some feathers with his return to the public, Skinny bravely once again ventures into the depths of his mailbag. In it he finds power, politics and poor hygiene.

Dear Skinny

I live in full board and i found the power outage last week to be very annoying. The uni really dropped the ball on this one. Surely they could have done this at a more appropriate time so it could’ve been less detrimental.

Regards Tony

Tony how about we make a deal. The uni will apologize for the inconvenience if you apologize for being a whiny little bitch. I know your pretty upset that you laptop ran out batteries and you couldn’t watch the latest episodes of vampire diaries but surely there was something you could do. Hell the best thing about living in full board is the fact that your surrounded by hundreds of young bucks such as yourself. So how about

next time theres a blackout instead of picking up a pen you pick up a pink cruiser and get that weird animator across the hall to give you a foot massage.

Dear Skinny

Do you think the S.R.C and the and residential support scheme should be amalgamated into one?

Mary

Great question Mary and i have seen a few letters on this. My opinion is that i care about politics less than a care about Jaffy’s... But its a close call... a very close call.

Dear Skinny

I love university and i love my cottage. My housemates have become like a big family. All except for one. I’m not normally a very fussy person but after like five months i’m at my wits end. I know no man is perfect but how can a guy not only have aim that bad, but

refuse to clean up the seat. And when scooping someones hair out of a the shower drain has become part of your morning routine than you know somethings wrong. I’ve told him about it but he just doesn’t take any notice. You have hair and are a boy what do you suggest.

Therese

That does actually sound pretty rough. I recommend talking to him, telling him how disgusting he really is and if he still ignores you take a page out of the godfathers book and take a shit on his pillow. Bear with me, this might sound a bit over the top but i believe it could work. At first he will be furious at you but he shouldn’t retaliate to intensely because your a woman and his chivalrous side will kick in and prevent him. Then his anger will gradually settle into a constant fear, a fear of pushing you over the edge again. The man will practically be doing your dishes for you within a fortnight.

From 28th July to 1st August CF held its annual Jesus Awareness Week. You may have seen us around campus on Wednesday hosting free BBQs, or joined us at one of our four events over the weekend.It was great to meet so many new people and hear what they would do if they were God…..

We are running a short course called “Christianity Explored”. Are you interested to hear more about Christianity? Who Jesus was? And why we make such a deal about his death & resurrection”?

“Christianity Explored” is a 6 session course that comprises of a short DVD presentation followed by a chance to discuss it. You can meet up with one of our ministry staff workers, Steve or Sonja, anytime that suits you.

So why not take some time and space to think through who Jesus is and why it matters; get together with a few friends if you want. To find out more about the course come talk to us at Unichurch, or see Steve or Sonja at the campus ministry centre in the library.

Unichurch is an on-campus non-denominational (i.e. not specifically Anglican, Baptist, catholic etc). We meet every Sunday, 7pm at the rec hall near the gym. Why not come this Sunday and check us out!

NB: I realise what I am about to do is exactly what I say is wrong, but sometimes people need to stand up to these annoying little shows that end up doing more bad that good.

The convenience of self scan checkouts at supermarkets across the country is something many of us have come to presume as the norm. For one I know that I would jump at the chance to use self scan, because it just quick and easy. Some do find that this “convenience” is just a hassle, and being forced to use it is a nuisance and at times annoying. When it comes down to it, if you follow the instructions, are patient and don’t abuse the computer when it asks you a question you will be fine. 

As an employee of a supermarket that uses the latest trend in supermarket checkouts, It pains me when people abuse me or the computer itself when all it is doing is doing its job. Occasionally yes the “stupid bitch” is at fault but more often than not it is just the fault of the impatient customer that just can’t understand the difference between scale and bagging area. 

This new 21st Century supermarket sensation is starting to appeal more to the average person, and even more to your supermarket thief. Which now, thanks to self scan checkouts, can get away with even more. Most Australians are unbelievably honest when it comes to the checkout, and will panic when an item is scanned at the wrong price or too much change is given. With the introduction of self scan, you would think that everyone would be so self conscious given that there is always an attended, and countless security cameras watching your every move. Unfortunately this is not the case, self scan checkouts have now become a target for not only your supermarket thief, but also your average shopper. 

Up until recently most would not of dreamed of doing some of the following things, but now thanks to an “investigation” that aired on A Current Affair the other night. Now more people are aware of exactly what they can get away with when using these self scan machines.

The story titled ‘Self-Serve Checkout Cheats’ which aired on Thursday last week on the show pretty much gave a step by step instruction on exactly how to cheat at the checkout. They even tried to excuse shoppers by saying sometime it is just a honest mistake. Yes, I believe this can be true, but the amount of customers that do in fact know exactly what they are purchasing and how much it is completely out weighs ACA’s claim. The bulk of the investigation came down to the pricing and naming of fresh fruit and vegetables. They claim that a customer generally has no idea what the

difference between apples and some types of pears are, this simply is not true. If the customer wants to purchase that apple shaped pear, they know what it is.

ACA may have  involuntarily assisted a large population of shoppers to start cheating at the checkout. Many people have come to me and asked if what they said on the program is true. Unfortunately yes it is; but now that they have run this story supermarkets Australia wide are going to start losing a lot more money.

SHOP KEEPERS “

 

With the prices of some fresh produce sky rocketing, especially on Apples, Potatoes and Bananas some could argue who can blame some customers for “accidentally” typing Mandarins instead of Bananas when using self serve. The fact of the matter is that it is indeed stealing. How a customer can go from saying they wouldn't make it out the door if they were handed too much change without fainting, to casually waking out the door with a kilogram of bananas they scanned as $1 a kilo is beside me. ACA showed viewers (exactly  1.3 million that night) what they can get away with when they think no one  is watching. 

What A Current Affair have now done, is effectively doomed supermarkets and shop keepers by revealing this to a mostly honest population. Saying that most wouldn't dream of doing this, and then virtually giving a step by step guide is unbelievable. The word of mouth spread that this story has had with customers especially where I work is incredible. It is sad that humans can’t trust each other, the idea of self serve was to make things quick easy and painless (granted that is not always true) but the trust shop keepers have with customers in order to provide these machines can just as easily be taken away. 

Both A Current Affair and Today Tonight run these types of stories all the time, but ones where they literary tell people how to get away with breaking the law should be banned. It was an investigation, but it shouldn’t have been broadcasted the way it did. If you want to check out the story it is still available on the ACA website. During the report, they interviewed many shoppers who said it was wrong and they would never dreamed of it, and I applaud them for including that, they also interviewed a forensic psychologist, supermarket and produce managers. Dishonest shoppers that are taking advantage of self serve deserve to be watched, and should stop complaining when they are watched, whilst in a supermarket. By doing this dirty deed you are in fact disadvantaging  yourself, the

more people that cheat at the checkout, the higher the prices will rise to cover costs. 

As ACA say “It is shop lifting in the 21st century” the whole concept is really so easy to do, but it is taking advantage of a system that operates on trust. By selecting Zucchini’s instead of bananas retailers are being ripped off at a massive $11 a kilo. The whole idea of cheating at the checkout is alarmingly popular, and now who knows what is going to happen now that it has been publicly broadcast. The shop keepers worst nightmare is now coming true, customers are starting to gain more power in the supermarket, and the level of trust supermarket owners have with them. Because of this story now more people are going to be aware of just another thing they can possibly get away with. Little do they know that everyday owners are monitoring cameras and surveillance footage and next time you enter a supermarket after cheating the system maybe you will just have to watch out. 

The greater population is of course honest and trustworthy, which is why these sorts of devices are offered to the public. I was always taught that stealing is wrong, as many of you were, but the age old excuse of ‘poor uni student’ defiantly does not get you off when cheating at the checkout. Stealing from a supermarket is wrong and is 100% illegal. If you rip off a supermarket by $11 you are in fact a thief, and you will be  treated as such. Something that ACA forgot to cover. Endorsing an act of theft, which ACA practically did, is not on and still a week later I can not believe they ran this story

Luckily there is photographic evidence to help her piece together the night, in case rolling over in the morning didn’t already...

Some decorated the porcelain, while others couldn’t stay upright on the dance floor...cough cough Mez....others remained in a drunken stupor at the deceptiveness of the magician. How he got that money from PK to end up in a sealed

envelope inside a wallet, we’ll never know.

Nik wished he had Loz’s skills of picking up BAPS members... and in other committee news, Miss Truscott couldn’t pass a simple drunk driver test of walking in a straight line...after having her sights set on a special someone, she ended up being escorted home early by a different gentleman who was later seen being thanked with a box of chocolates...hmm

Special mention must be made of our party animal lecturers! P.Ball, Hana & PK were dancing up a storm. PK was also taking skulls from Les and just generally letting his hair down after being absolutely smashed by the magician earlier in the night. Our fav lab tech was giving out good career advice...’if you’re going to have a meth lab out the back of your pharmacy, DON’T GET CAUGHT!’

By the end of the night, Les had made out with Macca more than once...not to mention, well everyone...he stumbled to the Vic and was filled up straight from the beer taps about a million times. He also soaked up some scotch and some green stuff...its no wonder he didn’t show

up in the morning....Tim was set on spending the night cuddled with Les in bed but was disappointed to hear he’d gone home with Sean, who actually came out afterwards for once...

And last but not least, our Pharmers Sexy-tary...Where’s she been and who is he??? Thats one secret you’ll never know!

So Until:

- Sean makes out with Macca

- We find out how the hell Magician Warren does his stuff....AMAZING!!

- BAPS Ball – Loz & Landy 2.0

- Les sobers up...screw that, he’s training for pub crawl (Sept 23rd!)

- Tomarchio dishes the dirt!

- Pharmers’ Ball 2012

- Pharmers’ incest or something else scandalous to report
