This would have been a great April Fools' Day Joke.

However, SkyTV decided to pull the April Fools' stun 2 days ahead. hehe..

so I wonder, how popular is Geekzone today after the Optus B1 news get debutted 2 days, it is on Google and several other big news sources too. And also, how well is the Trade Me auction too? :-D

Internet is my backyard...

"Optus planning and strategy manager Mark Harwood confirmed the company had lost control of the satellite during the attempted realignment. It is understood technicians battled for some time to regain control, and concerns have been expressed about the amount of fuel lost during the rare event."
