Telstra has revealed the addition of almost one million new mobile services in the six months to December 2011, but Sensis revenues plummeted 24 percent in 12 months.
A creature named Own Blood, created by Thailand's Peerakam Santivorapong, has been chosen as the winner of the Asia-Pacific round of a competition for the best Spore creations.
Spore is a simulation game that goes from single-celled life to space travel. You'll find Mike Bantick's review here.
The other regional finalists in the Spore creature design competition were Wesley James Maggs (Australia), Jacky Chan (Hong Kong), Ajay Gupta (India), Soichiro Sakibara (Japan), Lee Jung Hun (Korea), Jacquieline Marie Hyslop (New Zealand), Stefanie Tan Ying Xiu (Singapore), and Chen Chun-Yu (Taiwan). No transliteration was provided for the name of the winner of the China round.
For their efforts, all ten finalists picked up an HP Pavilion dv4 notebook, five EA games, and a trip for two to the EA Experience at the Peak in Hong Kong for the regional final.
Own Blood was chosen by a process involving a public vote plus a ballot of IT journalists attending a HP media briefing in Hong Kong this week, which led to Santivorapong taking home the $US5000 first prize.
All the prizewinners were recognised by Patrick De Moustier, COO of EA Asia studios, and Ajay Mohan, vice president, marketing, HP personal systems group, Asia Pacific and Japan.

The writer visited Hong Kong as the guest of HP. He admits that he did not vote for Own Blood.
