Global Warming

It is believed that global warming appears to have the greatest impact on reefs, triggering the collapse of reef ecosystems throughout the tropics. It also appears to create tropical storms, which batter the reef - but due to its ribbons, the inner reef withstands these attacks. Coral bleaching also appears to be happening, due to the water's temperature rising as a result of global warming and the El Nino effect. Coral bleaching is when the coral turns white due it expelling its zooxanthellae while under environmental strain. If the water temperatures continue at this high level, the whole Great Barrier Reef faces extinction.

Buying Real Estate in Mission Beach

Buying a property is always an emotional time so take the hassle out of it. Mission Beach real estate is a pretty cut-throat market (surprising really considering the size of the place) but I'm of the opinion that there's one set of agents that you can actually trust to give you an honest answer and that's <Andersons Real Estate.

Excellent Retail Shopfitters

If you're ever after somebody to give your shop that new look then why not try retail shopfitters On-Site Projects? They're based down in Brisbane but have worked as far afield as Tassie, Perth and Townsville. Their shopfitting client portfolio includes Vodafone so they're no slouches either. So, stop being ripped off by unscrupulous Cairns companies and save yourself some money and hassle.

Australia Battles Alcohol Abuse

Alcohol increasingly has Australia in its poisonous grip.

One in eight Australians drink at dangerous levels. The effects on long-term health are likely to be catastrophic.

Australia has always had a boozy reputation but excessive drinking is on the rise.

Doctors are warning of a surge in chronic diseases such as cirrhosis of the liver and cancers as well as brain disorders in the next 20 years.

"Unfortunately Australia has a massive alcohol drinking problem," said Associate Professor Gordian Fulde from Sydney's St Vincent's Hospital.

"It's our culture, our society accepts it and in some ways society encourages it."

"Alcohol leaves all the other drugs - heroin, ecstasy, ice (methamphetamine) - absolutely for dead," he told the BBC.

"They're minute compared to problems caused by alcohol drinking."

Safari...so goody

Apple's surprise announcement of a Windows version of Safari has led to inevitable questions about its motives in reigniting the browser war.

For some, the move is simply an essential element to its forthcoming iPhone launch, while others see it as a more aggressive move for browser market share or even the launch-pad for a raft of upcoming Apple software.

The fact that Apple chief executive Steve Jobs chose to announce the move at an Apple Developer's conference indicates that the focus is on web development.

"The more Safari users there are, the better support for Safari there will be from web developers. As it gets more popular, so it becomes essential that any new web application supports for Safari from day one," commented John Gruber on his blog Daring Fireball.

But perhaps, with its iPhone due to be launched at the end of the month, the key motivation for a Windows-compatible Safari is to make it easier for Windows-based web developers to write applications for that device.

"Apple needs to make sure that websites work with Safari. It is at the heart of its iPhone and probably for Apple TV, so it's got to make sure that websites work with it," said Ian Fogg, an analyst with Jupiter Research.

Origin Bragging Rights...Again

Well it seems that we have the bragging rights over our New South Wales counterparts for another 12 months. I've already had several abusive phone calls from my mates down south but hey, my beer is cold, Queensland won and to top it off it's rainy and 3 degrees in Sydney.

Mission Beach rocks.
