Briefly: Ziggy Plays NBN, New Dell Tablets, Gran Turisomo 6 Adds Bathurst

Brief news items of note for Lifehacker readers, including Ziggy Skiwkowksi as the new NBN Co chair, Dell’s new tablet plans and Gran Turismo incorporating Mount Panorama.

  • It wasn’t exactly a surprise; former Telstra head Ziggy Switkowksi is the new chair of the NBN Co Board. Gizmodo celebrated with a brilliant animated GIF.
  • C’arn Bathurst! It’s now official; Bathurst’s Mount Panorama track will be included in Gran Turismo 6, due out in December. The big upside; no limit to how much beer you can drink in front of your console.
  • Dell has announced a new range of Windows 8 tablets, which if nothing else means the Surface 2 doesn’t have the market all to itself. No Australian pricing yet, but we will see the devices in September.
  • Running can be good for you, but not if you don’t take the right steps afterwards. PopSugar Health & Fitness rounds up five things you shouldn’t do after running.
