    Not so simple anymore: The smart TV revolution meets its match

    It actually defies all logic to only be available in one country. Why not disperse them around the world to test the markets. They don't have to flood them but you don't normally manufacture on such a small scale.

    10 daily habits you’ll wish you started sooner for a safer home

    I am certainly fit for my age and still reasonably young. But having said that I am moving in a couple of days from a really large house with room to swing a cat in every space to a much smaller house so I am going to have less space around furniture especially in the bedroom etc so I daresay I...

    Not so simple anymore: The smart TV revolution meets its match

    They say read the manual but they actually don't come with one and they should at the very least. Always used to and should go back to it.

    Think you know speed cameras? This $2,500 fine might shock you

    Well I for one don't want a fine so it makes me be much more careful and there must be many more like me so that's a great start. Just need that number to keep increasing. You watch some ofnthe risks people take, not just speeding it's no wonder road deaths have risen. A few more minutes and...

    ANZ customers locked out by second major outage in 48 hours

    When you are paying for a house you can't get that much cash and certainly wouldn't be carrying it around and you still need to deposit it.

    Old trinkets, big returns: Aussies cash in as prices for this commodity reach new heights

    Yes those gold places in shopping centres tell you that and if you have something with stones they will take them out and give them back. Probably a better place to take those, just not sure where.

    A taste of heartbreak: Beloved eatery shuts its doors after bitter rent feud

    The landlord's just should not be allowed to do what they have done, restaurants put in huge amounts of money, sweat and handwork, training to open, only to be closed with no real reason. Hopefully they can find somewhere else and the landlord's are made to cover all their costs. Then boycott...

    Good News You Might Have Missed

    That's a great idea. My grandies have such a dog at their high school and my grandson has found it very useful and calming on occasion.

    Old trinkets, big returns: Aussies cash in as prices for this commodity reach new heights

    I sold some gold chains and things late last year and was pleasantly surprised by what I received. I now have some gold rings to sell as none of my daughter's wear gold and I no longer wear some of it so will investigate that when I have time. Money is better in my pocket than jewellery sitting...

    ANZ customers locked out by second major outage in 48 hours

    These glitches are all very well and nobody can control when they happen but sometimes you have really important things to do like paying for the balance of your house like I had to do yesterday. I was already stressed enough just doing the process with the help of a guy in the bank then fraud...

    Think you know speed cameras? This $2,500 fine might shock you

    I consistently drive the speed limit and make a point to but every now and again I notice I am slightly over and slow down and just pray I haven't passed a speed camera. obviously I was not paying attention for that short span but so far so good, no tickets. I do use my cruise control on...

    When life throws you a curveball: How Centrelink's cash advance could be your financial lifeline

    As helpful as a lump sum is when something unexpected happens, if you are struggling to survive on what you are already getting it's going to be worse on the reduced payments. It's just a downward spiral isn't it? It shows that people aren't getting enough to get by and something needs to be...

    Your requests might have been ignored: How thousands of Aussies were let down by ANZ’s silence

    Actually customers should come first because if they didn't have any customers there would be no shareholders. It's a matter of priorities and they need to think about that.

    Stay cool, feel confident: The bamboo tee redefining everyday comfort

    I like the fact the t shirts have longer sleeves but do think the prices are exhorbitant for what they are.

    Too much power in one place? Communities question outback stores’ grip on basic goods

    It seems to me it was never going to work unless all stores were included otherwise they are priced out of the market. That was a given. Another hairbrain scheme not fully thought through and the impact on everyone.

    When your daily bread turns into daily disappointment: The hole story behind Coles' quality issue

    I absolutely would take it back as its the only way they know there is a problem. Can't fix what they don't know about.

    Are supermarkets charging too much? New rules could change that

    I agree buy 2 should be banned for starters. And I also agree and have been saying for years if they can advertise for half price they can bring the price down. Some products are repeatedly on half price which means they are definitely over inflated as they are still making a profit. Customers...

    Government official faces heat over building concerns. Is this office accessible enough for Aussies?

    Who are the idiots granting it to those that don't need it and declining it to those that do? I mean what the hell! Change the people making the decisions to start with and get some consistent rulings in place across the board. Surely it can't be that hard. Fortunately I have bad nothing to do...
