Construction needs cloud flexibility
Australia’s embattled construction sector could benefit from cloud based information systems that can be switched on and off in lockstep with individual projects – with the exception of those organisations based in remote areas like the Kimberleys.

Supernova 2011fe visible with binoculars 9/9/2011

An exploded star, what is called a supernova, can be seen by observers here on Earth as it peaks on Friday, September 9, 2011. See Supernova 2011fe from your backyard.
It is a type Ia supernova, meaning that it is used by astronomers to measure the expansion of the Universe. It was discovered on August 24, 2011, by the Palomar Transient Factory (PTF) survey.
It is considered by astronomers to be the youngest type Ia supernova ever discovered.
To see it up-close-and-personal (kinda like in our 'astronomical' backyard), at least according to astronomical distances, it is quite the thing to see and examine by astronomers.
And, everyone can see the temporary light that this exploded star will be putting out for the next few days.
This supernova is the closest one that we've been able to see in the sky (with only binoculars) for 25 years. So, they don't come along very frequently.
Its peak of brightness is predicted to be on Friday night, September 9, 2011, around a few hours after sunset.
