  3. What Lidl Will Mean For Australian Supermarket Shoppers
    If speculation that German discount supermarket, Lidl, is preparing to launch into the Australian market is correct, it will be the biggest shake up in the grocery sector since Aldi’s arrival in 2001. With potentially five viable combatants in the mix, the way we shop and how supermarkets and suppliers compete, will fundamentally change.
  4. The World’s First Vibrator For Guys Isn’t Just A Marketing Gimmick [NSFW]
    The Hot Octopuss Pulse II is billed as the world’s first “guybrator”, and it claims to be fun to use flaccid or erect.

  7. Ask LH: Can I Switch My US Netflix Account To Australia?
    Hi Lifehacker, I’m one of the 250,000-odd Australians who already had a US Netflix account prior to its local launch this year. Given that with the exchange rate it’s slightly cheaper in Australia (and that I can switch between the services with a VPN), is there any way I can switch my account over? I don’t want to create a new Australian Netflix account and lose the curated ‘My List’ attached to my US account.
