The government and its Labor rivals have been indulging in a slanging match over the Coalition's plans to introduce Internet porn blocking software.
Following the news a teenage boy has cracked the government's filtering software in half an hour, the Communications Minister has warned parents to be vigilant about their children's exploits online whether they use filters or not.
Downloads of the government's Internet filtering software have hit six figures, according to the Communications Minister with the Coalition now turning to a schoolboy for help in improving the software.
New restrictions on online chatrooms, Web sites and mobile phone content will be introduced within a month to stop children viewing unsuitable material.
The government has squashed speculation that its Internet content-filtering trial had been brought to an end prematurely.
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy has welcomed "improvements" in ISP filtering technologies, but will a broad-scale roll-out make ISPs a thief's favourite target?
Getting into the finer print of Virgin's broadband-over-3G plans is a little like getting up close and personal with the office hottie and then discovering they have a personal hygiene problem.
If the Internet is God, and the browser my shepherd, I am a lost lamb who has been waiting for the Prophet to answer my call: What are those icon-less buttons at the bottom of Internet Explorer 7?
The council rubbish truck didn't pick up my bin last week. Instead, the garbage contractor left a big yellow sticker highlighting exactly why my old egg shells, rancid fruit, microwave pizza boxes, an ancient and smelly pair of sneakers, and the odd brick had been left to rot on my property.
Microsoft is going to let everyone -- even people with an illegal pirate copy of Windows XP -- download IE7 because the software giant really cares about the safety and security of all Internet users. (But don't mention Firefox ...)

Despite showing occasional signs of strain, the Internet has become an integral part of all kinds of business and consumer technologies. How will it change in the years ahead to meet with new demands? We identify some key areas to watch out for.
You can't beat the price. For a good, basic internet security suite, we recommend Trend Micro Internet Security 2009.
Its excellent, sleek design doesn't cover for its sluggish performance.
While Symantec's protection is solid, the overall user experience within Norton Internet Security 2008 could be much, much better. Not all the features work together and use fewer system resources.
ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite 7 offers a balance between best-of-breed security protection and ease of use, providing the home user with superior protection that's light on system resources.
For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance. We recommend it over McAfee Total Protection and Microsoft Windows Live OneCare.
