We get the goss from Oracle Australia and New Zealand chieftain Ian White on the sidelines of the technology giant's gargantuan OpenWorld confab in the United States last week.
Oracle supremo Larry Ellison has taken several potshots at his company's rival IBM, denigrating the power efficiency of Big Blue's hardware and opening fire on its blanket "Smarter Planet" marketing campaign.
Adobe announced today that Flash developers will be able to create applications that run natively on the iPhone, but the ability to have Flash plugged into Safari remains missing.
Cisco's local chief Les Williamson today said it was too early to say what role the networking titan could play in the $43 billion National Broadband Network (NBN) project, and that he would honour NBN Co CEO Mike Quigley's request for contact via industry representative bodies.
The party-hearty mobile operator today launched its new-look branding and members' lounge alongside a new CBD store on Pitt Street in Sydney.
Some of the 500,000 visitors expected to walk through the Sculpture by the Sea exhibition on the Sydney coastline this November can be excused for saying they are seeing things that aren't really there.
As Oracle gets bigger and bigger, one question remains unanswered: what type of company is Oracle?
In a massive "special edition" of our telco podcast Twisted Wire, we talk to virtually everyone in the telecommunications industry about the break-up of Telstra, including man of the moment, Communications Minister Stephen Conroy.
Is the NBN announcement a good thing? The industry at large seems to say yes. The Opposition is less sold on the idea, as you'll hear from Nick Minchin.
Communications minister Stephen Conroy today announced the controversial web filtering blacklist will be scrapped and be replaced with a whitelist-based filtering regime, to be administered by viewer voting through a family-friendly digital TV-only show called 'The White List'.
There are large conferences, and then there is Oracle OpenWorld. A mega-conference that sees over 40,000 attendees descend on San Francisco.
Adobe's attempt to bring its AIR platform to all handheld devices smells strongly of Sun's attempt to dominate the smartphone market with Java. But will the software giant's efforts suffer the same fate?
Max is Adobe's premier developer conference and this year it featured Star Wars, flying monkeys and electric cars.
BMC Software CEO Bob Beauchamp has headed up the company since the beginning of the decade, transforming it into the business service management power it is today. We find out what his priorities are.
The story of how Telstra lost its network is one of hubris and bungling, of misreading the play in Australia by men from the US who thought they knew everything already. Shareholders should never forget this.
Welcome to the CIO Vision Series, where we have with us as our guest Graham Andrews of PriceWaterhouseCoopers. Thank you for joining us today and congratulations on being 'highly commended' by the Australia CIO of the Year judging panel.
SonicWall's feature-packed TZ 210 gateway security appliance is capable of protecting all kinds of networks at a very affordable price. It's easy to set-up and manage, and sets a new price point in the UTM market.
At a very affordable price, the D-Link Wireless N Router DIR-615 makes a great entry-level Wireless-N router and would satisfy most situations where a wireless network is needed.
SCVMM 2008 R2 is a very competent product, neatly bringing Microsoft's virtualisation management offering in line with the competition at the same time as offering management of disparate platforms in the one product. The integration with the rest of the Systems Center suite makes the overall management and monitoring experience better than its rivals.
The D-Link Xtreme N Storage Router DIR-685 is a very good single-band Wireless-N router; however, its extra features hardly justify the price.
The AirPort Extreme Base Station is a great wireless router for Mac or novice users who need something that's simple, nice-looking and works well for their homes. Savvy and Windows users will find many other alternatives that offer a lot more features for their money.
