Zentai's family disappointed battle continues
The family of Perth man Charles Zentai says an eleventh hour decision by the Federal Government to seek a High Court ruling on their father's long-running extradition battle, is disappointing and frustrating.
The Home Affairs Minister Brendan O'Connor will apply to the High Court for special leave to seek its determination on what constitutes a war crime, before the case can continue.
Mr Zentai, who turns 90 next month, is wanted in Hungary over the murder of a Jewish teenager in 1944 and has fought his extradition since 2005.
The Federal Court had previously ruled that Mr Zentai could not be surrendered to Hungary, because war crimes were not a criminal offence under Hungarian law in 1944.
The Home Affairs Minister Brendan O'Connor says it raises a significant issue for Australia's extradition regime.
Mr Zentai's son Ernie Steiner says his father, an Australian citizen, should not be used to resolve the government's extradition policy.
"There are many people in Hungary who are questioning the tactics and the value in pursuing these types of case when the evidence is so flimsy," he said.
Mr Steiner says he is disappointed the government will not support his father with better representation
"We hope someone will come to my father's aid," he said.
"My father can't afford to spend out anything more on legal costs so it would have to be done within certain constraints; pro bono or for legal aid rates."

Did Obama Meet the Wrong Big Wave Surfers?
It was reported that during his recent trip to the West Coast, President Obama had
dinner with a dozen Silicon Valley executives. The appearance of the technological and
financial captains of industry such as John Doer (Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers),
Carol Bartz (Yahoo), Larry Ellison (Oracle) and John Chambers (Cisco) set the press
wires buzzing. While these people would all be considered at the top of the tech
industry heap, perhaps the President was meeting with people whose technology and the
waves they created have already passed instead of meeting with people who are creating
and forming the new waves that will rock the tech world.
Ken Thurber, author of Big Wave Surfing: Extreme Technology Development, Management,
Marketing and Investing, sees these companies as mature - "some like Apple (Steve Jobs
was reportedly seen at that dinner meeting) will surely impact the American economy as
it moves forward, but the real action is forming out at sea with new surfers and
technologies such as nanotechnology, wind-powered cars, extremely fast Exascale
Computers and powerful new lasers being developed by the military. The future lies
with serial big wave entrepreneur surfers like Elon Musk, who founded PayPal, SpaceX
and runs Tesla motors, which looks to revolutionize the electric car industry, if they
don't run out of cash first."
Thurber sees companies such as Oracle and Yahoo as the old world order and the new
surfers like Elon Musk (Tesla, SpaceX, PayPal), Tim Westergren (Pandora) or Jack
Dorsey (Square & Twitter) as the coming Big Wave Surfers.
Thurber goes on to say," As these new Surfers and others like them go, so goes the
future of the American economy. Like any surfers there will be wipeouts and winners
and losers, but without embracing them and what they represent in the innovation
economy, America will be in for trying economic times and profound structural changes
will occur in American society. Understanding of the current innovation economy will
not be found by meeting with the current captains of industry. The understanding to
forge the nation's innovation strategy will only be formed by meeting with the current
entrepreneurs who are trying to spot and ride the next big wave!"
About the Author: Kenneth J. Thurber, Ph.D., is a renowned computer architect and has
developed technology and systems worth billions of dollars. He developed the concept
of "technology big wave surfing" to empower readers to understand and harness the
opportunity of an ever-changing technological world.

Back to the future: VW unwraps possible mini-bus successor
Few vehicles trigger happier memories than the iconic Volkswagen bus, a practical van
that became an emblem of the free-wheeling '60s.
VW has toyed for years with the idea of bringing back this model, and this week it's
displaying its latest interpretation of the bus at the Geneva motor show.
Dubbed the Bulli, as the original bus was called in Germany, the concept vehicle
features cutting-edge technology and a zero-emission electric drivetrain, yet remains
true to the spirit of the bus launched in 1950.
While the Bulli is a show car, the company indicated it might provide the inspiration
for a new model that would join the VW lineup.
"This concept has the potential to establish a new people carrier next to the Caddy,
Touran, Sharan and its large counterpart, the Caravelle," Volkswagen said in a
statement, referring to its global lineup of family haulers.
The Bulli is equipped with an electric motor located forward of the front axle. Powered
by a 3,200-pound lithium-ion battery, it can store 40 kilowatt hours of electricity
providing a driving range of 186.4 miles.
But the vehicle also can be fitted with VW's gas and diesel direct-injection engines.
With a length of 156 inches, a width of 68.4 inches and height of 66 inches, the two-
toned Bulli is wider and shorter than the old bus.
"It's very cool-looking," said Jack Nerad, an industry analyst at Kelley Blue Book, the
used-car pricing firm. "There are retro elements to it, but it's not a retro design."
The Bulli's interior combines technological updates with nostalgic touches. Like the
old Microbus, as it was known in the United States, the Bulli concept has a single
bench seat in front.
Its updated console features a removable iPad offering Internet-based applications as
well as controlling functions, such as a Bluetooth hands-free phone and a navigation
system. U.S. guitar and amplifier maker Fender produced the sound system.
Like the old bus, the Bulli's seating system can be rearranged easily into a large
reclining surface, transforming the vehicle into a compact camper.
Analysts said they expected Volkswagen to launch a model based on the Bulli concept, in
part to fulfill its ambitious U.S. sales targets. The Wolfsburg, Germany-based
automaker aims to triple U.S. sales of VW cars by 2018.
Currently it offers the Routan in North America, a slow-selling model derived from
Chrysler's Dodge Caravan.
A production version of the Bulli is likely to appeal "to the same demographic that was
drawn to the minibus back in the day — the 18-to-34's," Nerad said.
"It would probably bag some aging boomers who were fans of the original Microbus, as
well."
