Features and Case Studies

  • When will virtual worlds become a business tool?

  • Rudd awakening: Govt's plans for ICT

  • How open source is losing the charity battle

Reviews

  • Apple iPhone 3G (16GB)

    Though there are still some big features missing from the iPhone, the addition of 3G and GPS, the affordable price tag, and extra features from the iPhone 2.0 software update make the handset a worthy prospect.

  • Apple iPhone

    Despite some flaws, the Apple iPhone sets a new benchmark for an integrated phone and MP3 player.

  • Netgear SSL312

    We found this to be an impressive unit and, while it doesn't have all the bells and whistles, if you need to facilitate up to 25 concurrent SSL VPN user sessions then the NETGEAR SSL312 is definitely worthy of short-listing for evaluation.

  • Photos: HP Officejets challenge SMB laser printers

    Hewlett-Packard has launched a new range of Officejet Pro printers Down Under aimed at small- to medium-sized businesses that use laser printers.

  • Internet killed the (digital) radio star

    During a trip to the US four years ago, I rented a car fitted with an XM satellite radio — which gave me well over 100 radio stations, each carrying a continuous stream of crystal-clear talk radio or music in a surprising array of genres.

  • The 'secret': Banks are freaked out by security

    Last week's blog on why consumers might be confused by contradictory messages on computer security from banks drew a few objections from interested parties — ones that I thought would be worth responding to this week.

  • Banks are confusing consumers on PC security

    Banks obviously have an interest in making consumers feel safe. They are there to protect the customers' money. They want customers to use their online services, too, because the channel offers a lower cost per transaction than a branch. But giving away free security software to make customers feel safe is probably doing more harm than good.

  • Could you believe in Steve?

    For no particular reason that I can discern, a 1979 Kenny Rogers song popped into my head as I was considering the ever more complex morass that is the national broadband network tender — which Senator Stephen Conroy defended in his CeBIT keynote speech.

    It's just two months until Microsoft plans to pull the plug on Windows XP — arguably its best operating system to date.

  • Angus Kidman I'm a celebrity, don't back me up
    Celebrity comes with its perks — free alcohol, better-looking partners, lots of holiday time — and disadvantages — constant media intrusions, being forced to appear in films with Eddie Murphy for the long-term good of your career, and having to do mindless radio interviews with angry men who've been awake since 4am.
  • Array Lies, damned lies and telco stupidity
    Earlier this month, Telstra put out a press release trumpeting that it's come up with a new phone coaching service to help people who are "bamboozled" by their mobiles. Another excellent example of wrongheaded thinking from the mobile industry.
