Medical computer graphics could be seen as the invisible side of VFX. We tend to associate CGI with spaceships, fantasy or history, but in many ways medical imaging is the forefather of all computer graphics. When Steve Jobs bought the team at Pixar from George Lucas, he wanted them to make computers for high-end visualisation such as medical imaging – the animations that Pixar made were just to showcase the hardware.
Public wi-fi hotspots are increasingly common. Cafes, fast food chains, airports and even buses and trains offer them as a free service. A recent study conducted by McAfee found that nearly two-thirds of the surveyed Australians used free wi-fi. But just because there's free wi-fi at a trusted establishment, there's no guarantee it's safe to use.

The research into parents' influence over children's learning has found parents possibly even more so than teachers are key to success.
Mums and dads don't need to understand calculus to get the best from their child. Taking an active interest and facilitating a love of learning is what kids need most.
The improved results included higher grades, making advanced classes, lower dropout rates and greater likelihood of tertiary study.
Schools with strong family involvement were four times more likely to improve student reading and 10 times more likely to improve maths results.
Volunteering at school had little impact, and simply demanding high achievement can instead damage a child's self-esteem and their marks.
