Telstra shareholders travelled from far and wide to vent their frustrations as owners and customers to the telco's chairperson, Catherine Livingstone and chief David Thodey.
A health informatics professor from Sydney University today said Australia's e-health systems should be strictly open source rather than using proprietary software.
The Australian Federation Against Copyright Theft's (AFACT) investigations into Australian movie piracy led it to focus on two file-sharing clients and four Australian ISPs, the Federal Court heard today.
Members of Telstra's main union are expressing frustration over the fact that new pay rates have yet to be settled.
Australians have made more than 20,000 complaints a month against telecommunications companies this year as figures rose despite a campaign to lift customer service.
Virtually everyone in the telecommunications industry has their say in the Senate Standing Committee's public hearing into the pending legislation to split up Telstra, in this week's Twisted Wire podcast.
The latest and greatest version of the Oracle database, 11g Release 2, was made available recently and as the resident technical person, it fell to me to take it for a spin. Little did I realise the hell that I had just walked into.
Do the boards of IT companies deliberate extra carefully before making a deal with government for fear of having their name pulled through the dirt when they stuff up?
Will the NBN provide a boom for local application developers? If so, have we got enough local expertise to develop these applications? A visit to many government department websites will show how poor the user experience can be. With the new network will we just get more frustrated quicker?

The ST2310 has a low price and is good for everyday tasks, but it lacks some of the extra features included with similarly priced displays.
Norton Internet Security 2010 builds on the immense progress it made in last year's version, maintaining a low system profile while strengthening its security framework. It's not perfect, but even Symantec's detractors should check it out.
The UX30 gets oh so close to what it strives to achieve, but small design choices like the stippled touchpad and port covers, and large issues like the low battery life prevent it from achieving greatness.
While we like the design, Samsung needs to do more with the software. Without customisation, Android's absent features are glaringly obvious.
