James Packer has indicated he wants to continue the fight over the collapse of One.Tel, maintaining he was "profoundly misled" about the financial position of the company.
A landmark court ruling over the One.Tel collapse has brought its special purpose liquidator closer in his pursuit of Lachlan Murdoch and James Packer on behalf of creditors.
One.Tel founder Jodee Rich this week said the "dark" years leading up to Wednesday's victory in one of NSW's largest ever civil cases had made him a stronger man.
The corporate watchdog has failed in its civil action against One.Tel founder Jodee Rich and the doomed telecommunication's company's finance director Mark Silbermann.
The fact that the spectacular expansion of internet activity has continued, and even accelerated through the financial crisis shows that the global exchange of information does not depend, in any important way, on the global financial sector.
Shareholders got a rude awakening this week as Stephen Conroy made good on industry calls to break up Telstra. Some argue the government has been duplicitous and should be held to account, but those who sit tight may find the new Telstra offers a far better value proposition with better long-term opportunities.
Only a few years ago Atlassian and Omnidrive were the flag carriers for Australia's Web 2.0 movement. But recent developments have shown just how different the outcomes for start-up companies and entrepreneurs can be.
South Australian distributed backup start-up Memory Box splits up users' data and spreads it in encrypted form across many customers' PCs. But can the company build trust amongst customers who could be worried about their data being stored on other people's hard drives?
We've got our own open source versus Microsoft stoush going on in New Zealand, with the government as a key player.
Like many, I expected Telstra's dismissal was inevitable, given that it had openly flouted the NBN's guidelines and attempted to bend the process to its own wishes. But who would have expected it so soon?
Ten years ago they were the young turks of Australia's business community; radical free-thinkers on the path to fame and riches. Shortly after, all those dreams came crashing down. But where are Australia's first dotcom moguls today, and what are they up to?
The Federal Government's committal to spend up to $43bn of taxpayer funds without rigorous and detailed analysis and economic modelling of the National Broadband Network is simply extraordinary.
A remarkable four-car pile-up is about to happen with the National Broadband Network; goodness knows what will emerge from the wreckage. Maybe there'll be no survivors at all.
If mainstream media cannot be trusted to provide an objective, poison-free analysis of the issues of the day, then it is the responsibility of this government specifically, my department to come to the citizenry's rescue.
The Australian Taxation's Change Program (which is best suited perhaps for simple formulaic tax collections, not complex audit, analysis and interpretation work) may collapse under its own dead weight.
WordPress is the content management system behind some of the most popular sites on the web. The open-source web publishing platform is beloved for its elegance and extensibility. Check out our comprehensive screenshot gallery to see what you'd be in for if you used it.
Intuitive interface design and easy access to useful features make iWork the best office suite choice on the Mac. Though it lacks some of Microsoft Office's advanced options, iWork '09 is an emerging powerhouse in its own right.
Although there are some design quirks, the Samsung Omnia promises to be a solid alternative to Apple's iPhone.
On the surface, the X3550 appears to be a budget workhorse of a printer with the enticing option of wireless connectivity. It's a pity then, that the wireless is so expensive to include, and the printer itself so slow.
If you work with Microsoft Outlook on a daily basis, this upgrade can make scheduling simpler and e-mailing more interesting. Still, we wish Instant Search and e-mail rendering were better.
