Computing giant IBM has built a supercomputer that can operate at one petaflop — 1,000 trillion floating point operations per second — twice as fast as the world's previous fastest computer, IBM's Blue Gene.
Six technology titans are banding together to jointly license patents that cover WiMax in an effort to prevent costly royalty rates.
At Computex 2008 in Tapei, Taiwan, the biggest buzz is about the developing new market for Netbooks, smaller than traditional notebooks but larger than PDAs -- and the revolutionary new chips to run them.
Nextgen Networks has snapped up fibre-network operator Silk Telecom in a bid to increase its network reach and boost growth.
Telecom NZ has beefed up its management team, importing experts from the other side of the world to help tackle its arduous task of operational separation.
The national broadband network will not be fast enough for Tasmanian businesses, according to consumer action group Digital Tasmania, and could even mean further delays for the Basslink cable.
As England's historic Bletchley Park raises funds to restore buildings used by code-breaking legends such as Alan Turing during World War II, ZDNet.com.au 's sister site CNET News.com is taking a look back at the cryptographic machines that kept vital specialists of the German, American, British, Polish, and Japanese military forces awake at night.
In 2020, datacentres are estimated to be cleaner, greener and more flexible — but will they be any safer?
The average datacentre lasts between 15 and 20 years, so when the current generation of datacentres near the end of their working life, will their replacements be at all familiar?
Installing cables can be difficult — especially if they're 9,000 kilometres long and up several kilometres underwater. Our photo gallery gives you a look inside the 'Ile de Sein', a ship used to lay Telstra's latest fibre optic cable, which will become part of Australia's global Internet network backbone.
Ever wanted to see what makes an Apple MacBook Air tick? We crack one open in the interest of science.
It seemed like a good idea at the time, but Australian utilities' recent abandonment of broadband over powerline (BPL) technology has all but sealed the fate of a technology that was once hoped to bring high-speed data to every corner of Australia.
ZDNet.com.au takes a peek behind the scenes at the security specialist's European anti-malware operation in Dublin.
For a man a few months away from leaving his job, Bill Gates has a lot on his mind.
The second-generation Microsoft Zune media player was intended as an iPod killer, but the Zune never made the splash Microsoft had hoped it would. Which is strange, considering our inside look will reveal just how similar the two media players are.
From Blaster Worm to Blue Hat, we bring you a complete retrospective on the evolution of Microsoft's security strategy over the last decade. Step onboard as we chart the triumphs and tragedies as the Microsoft engineers battled the tides of internet hackers, transforming them from adversaries to unlikely allies.
Not the flashiest phone around, but its jaw-dropping price, ease of use and vast software ecosystem, make it a good choice for first time smartphone buyers and Palm OS aficionados alike.
It's a step back in the style stakes, but there's still plenty to like about Lexmark's latest small office wireless printer.
At AU$599, the Photosmart C8180 sits in Hewlett-Packard's lineup as one of its most expensive All-in-One (AIO) players. With a suite of features, it's not without a few missteps. The photo quality is better than average and the hardware is well-designed, but the lack of an auto-document feeder (ADF) and painfully slow print speed prevent us from giving this otherwise excellent printer a better rating.
While this newer USB modem from 3 carries itself with a sharp new look, it delivers nearly identical performance to its predecessor.
As a basic wireless N kit, the Conceptronic Wireless 300Mbps Broadband Starter pack offers reasonable value, but like so many of its wireless N peers, it still fails to live up to the hype.
At AU$2199, the XD520U DLP projector sits at the top end of Mitsubishi Electric's new "Leo" range of DLP business projectors. The XD520U performs a little bit better than its specifications might suggest, but you do pay a noise penalty in return.
The Lenovo M57 eco is a small form-factor desktop that is promoted by the company as energy efficient. We found it to be a capable and powerful office performer for its size, but with limited upgrade options.
Samsung's ML-2851ND is a bare bones mono-laser printer with a few extra features attached that will appeal to the small-to-medium business crowd that simply needs to print out text documents or light graphics. The AU$330 price tag is higher than average for a monochrome printer. Still, if print speed and print quality are deciding factors for you, consider the Samsung ML-2851ND.
The HP EVA4400 is a Storage Area Network (SAN) system that provides data storage and security on a much larger scale than a simple RAID or NAS system. We found it to be a reliable and scalable high-end data system.
Wrapped in a sturdy stainless steel case, there's nothing ground-breaking about the Shine Slide. However for AU$249, it's an excellent prepaid option.
I was interested to read that Telstra had the good sense to finally hand over its network designs to the Federal government last week.
What a week it's been for mobiles.
The mobile market in India, I recently learned, is racing towards 300 million -- and doing so at a rate of 8.77 million new subscribers per month, according to the latest government figures.
Watching the latest, hilarious stage in the Jimmy Kimmel-Matt Damon "feud" -- which racked up 2.5 million YouTube views in one day -- I was struck by a thought: who in the world is paying for all this bandwidth?
The components that make up a modern datacentre often look disturbingly like commodity items: a server here, a rack there, spaghetti tangles of cable everywhere. But there's one item that is still something of a rarity -- and no, I'm not talking about the expertise needed to run it.
During a recent trip overseas, I marvelled at how technology has radically altered the way we travel
Datacentres are by their nature somewhat sterile and antiseptic places, but many of them hide a dirty little secret: cables so tangled they make the plots of Days Of Our Lives look logical by comparison.
Well, here we are. After years of bluster, measured progress and loads of annoyance, Australia's broadband users head to the polls on Saturday with a score to settle.
There's something immensely gratifying about accomplishing the seemingly impossible -- particularly in IT, where pundits regularly proclaim that a particular technology has hit its physical limits.
The news this week that Canberra-based TransACT was going to start rolling out fibre-to-the-home (FTTH) services it announced in May, was at first intriguing.
