I'd say they have licensed a news feed from the Inquirer - media groups do this from time to time. You'll see AP stories all over the place. If you take a look at the story, The Inquirer is clearly acknowledged as the source.
Broadband without the pork is a big issue in Australia, due to rising telephone line rental charges by telephone companies - people are paying extra for something most Internet users essentially don't want.
ISPs have now begun offering something called "Naked DSL". As the name implies, it's DSL, but naked - meaning the telephone service has been stripped, leaving only the Internet service.
The beauty of Naked DSL is it's cheaper - take a look at the
cost analysis here.
From what I can see you'll save at least $10, because you don't pay monthly telephone fees, and you still get your broadband Internet.
I have to agree - on a laptop this is definitely the future. Touch recognition has improved a lot with Vista too - one of the only good things I can say about Vista. If I'm in a big rush, it can't understand messy writing, but otherwise it can translate my handwriting pretty well.
Remember Tablet PCs? Yeah, i used to think they were stupid too, but after struggling with crappy mouse touchpads on buses and trains I've grown to appreciate the touchscreen. It's infinitely easier in a crowded situation than a touchpad. I think we do need a touchscreen OS - just for notebooks, not desktops. Oh, and get rid of the stylus - it's no use if you're holding the laptop with the other hand.

Interesting comparison of the new Android phone here, compared with T-Mobile G1 and Blackberry Bold: http://www.pcauthority.com.au/Review/130280,kogan-agora--a-simpler-practical-google-phone.aspx In a nutshell, it's a Blackberry, but with Android.
