WANTED: Entrepreneurs for Channel 9 game show

Why create a program to support over 50s entrepreneurs? Isn’t that ageist?
Many baby-boomers might be nearing retirement but most are far from retired. Many members of this very driven (and notoriously outspoken) generation are embracing the freedom of an empty nest, turning their backs on once stable corporate careers and employing wisdom earned to serve their own ends.
Cool Company Awards (2010)
The inaugural Cool Company Awards were launched in February 2006 as a way for Anthill Magazine to publicly acknowledge and celebrate Australian organisations that are doing things differently to bring about positive change.
Is Australian auto-manufacturing still an industry worthy of government assistance?
“I don’t know the figures for how many people are directly employed in automotive manfacturing, I’d guess about 10,000, and we don’t know exactly how much the grants and kick-backs from the federal and state governments are, but if it’s around one billion dollars a year, you just have to do the maths to come [...]
Ruslan Kogan hits back at Gerry Harvey with satirical advertisement
Funny? Hypocritical? Pure viral marketing gold? That’s for you to decide. What’s more interesting about this public spat is the underlying question it raises. What drives consumers — expensive television advertisements to establish trust and, therefore, create the ability to sell products at a premium price or the opportunity to purchase online at discount rate?

In the online world, it seems there is not much demand for large graphics of this nature, despite their effectiveness at explaining an often complex message or set of principles.

If you’ve ever worked in tech support, this will crack you up
The first in a series of four videos, The Website is Down has been driving technical support staff to tears (for both reasons) since it first appeared on Blip.TV over two years ago. It’s not for everyone but if you’ve ever tried to provide guidance to the digitally illiterate or found yourself butting heads with technical support this is sure to make you chuckle. Salty Language Warning: Moderate
I couldn’t give a damn whether Abbott is a misogynistic, churchy freak. But if we lose the NBN, I’m moving to Iceland.
Five minutes of overheard conversation in any Australian watering hole or bus-shelter this week will tell you that Tony Abbott is a misogynistic mad monk and that Julia Gillard is a political assassin controlled by faceless apparatchik of the union movement. But are these the factors that will steer Australia in a direction that will create an economically secure and culturally harmonious nation for decades to come?
When was the last time an Australian leader spoke to you like this?
Among the belly-flopping corgis, astonishing Indian Pole Gymnastics and Justin Bieber clips that rise to the top of YouTube’s most watched clips on any given day, it’s rare to find something of substance. That’s why it’s forever reassuring to witness the rise of an opinion that is not built on a sound-bite or caters to the common view.

Snazzy Napper: Anthill’s search for the world’s most brainless innovation continues
The product developers describe the innovation as “the snazzy way to sleep while you travel”. What they don’t explain is how this innovation hasn’t yet caused race riots in a country already irrationally fearful of similar headware and community centres.
