Fresh from saving us all from “spams and scams coming through the portal<\/a>“, Minister for Communications Senator Conroy has come up with another brilliant idea to save the kiddies from all the horrors of the internet. A nice shiny red browser button<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Based on the Adobe Air platform, the security device, notionally referred to as a \u201cbig red button\u201d will either occupy the Windows taskbar or sit prominently on the desktop. <\/p>\n

Clicking the device will permit a child experiencing trouble to either access assistance to report issues to a social networking site or to connect with Police.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Sounds a lot like the Porn Siren<\/a>, a cunning idea I came up with quite a few years ago.<\/p>\n

Ridiculously, the panic button is said to have cost $100,000 and a team of 8 programmers to create. Junket, anyone?<\/p>\n

As IT wire points out, either kids won’t know when to push it or, like Stimpy in the History Eraser Button video above, they’ll be sitting there feeling incredibly tempted to push it. Hell, I’d like to push it just to piss people off.<\/p>\n

Instead, this government is wasting my hard earned tax dollars on pointless things like the big red panic button.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
