If Telstra does not voluntarily structurally separate, a new telecommunications reform package will permit the government to impose an oppressive functional separation framework on it, the Federal Government announced today.
Supermarket clearance chain Not Quite Retail (NQR) finally decided to ditch dial-up internet for its chain of 26 stores and headquarters in March, instead signing up for an Ethernet WAN connection from Uecomm.
Available as the 3GHz Phenom II X4 940 and the 2.8GHz Phenom II X4 920, these new quad-core CPUs are AMD's first 45nm desktop processors, and they finally bring AMD in line with Intel's 45nm manufacturing process, used in its Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad and Core i7 chips.
Intel has begun shipping its 160GB solid-state drives, the manufacturer announced on Monday.
Toshiba has unveiled a 512GB solid state drive (SSD) which it claims breaks both speed and size records in the notebook SSD market.
The amount of attention the HTC Dream gets when I flash it around in New Zealand is quite remarkable; and the HTC Magic on Vodafone seems set to get even more.
South Australia's Yorke Peninsula with just 11,780 people spread across 5,834 square kilometres, is known more for its rugged natural beauty than its technological prowess. But now that Internode has brought broadband to the entire peninsula, the area has become a very important part of Australia's telegeography.

With "Eco" and "Lite" in its name does that mean the U121 is a product with fewer features with a high price for the sake of being branded as environmentally friendly?
The world of enterprise IP telephony is varied and complex. Here's our round-up of the major players and what they can bring to your business.
Intel Mac users will like Snow Leopard's smartly designed interface enhancements, and its Exchange support is a must-have (especially with Outlook for Mac on the way). With a ton of technological improvements, Snow Leopard is worth the AU$39 upgrade fee.
The U50Vg has some annoying design issues, but it's a great laptop that can be relied on when out and about.
