Despite icing a 2002 plan to pursue Telstra's structural separation due to concerns Labor had for its private shareholders, Minister for Finance Lindsay Tanner today said its current position was no different.
Australian company IceTV has won a long-running court battle against the Nine Network in which the television station had claimed IceTV's electronic program guide infringed its copyright.
Maybe Facebook co-founder Mark Zuckerberg should have listened to Flickr's community manager before he was forced to make a back flip over Facebook's copyright and terms of service last week.
Dear Mr Rudd, it's wonderful that you've joined Twitter. Of course Mr Turnbull was here a month before you, but Twitter has been around more than two years. You're both complete n00bs. May I offer some tips?
Since being released from prison eight years ago, Kevin Mitnick's brushes with the law have consisted of a few parking tickets and a citation for driving without a front license plate - that is, until he returned from a trip to Colombia two weeks ago.
Just last week, I was moaning and groaning like a whiny little so and so that SSD hard disks were too expensive. A few massive price cuts later from Intel, and I'm almost a happy man.
As Rudd and Conroy railroad the NBN into reality, the Liberals are trying to inject some due process into the whole thing by holding Labor accountable for its decisions.

We love the clear touchpad, both for its good looks and intuitive gestures, and we think the Crystal makes a good mobile phone. Shame its camera is a stinker.
The Dell Inspiron 15 is likely the best bang for buck you'll get for AU$1000, from its battery life to its upgrade options. We do miss the numpad, but the rest is perfect for the budget-conscious user.
While the interface of IBM's free office suite is sexy, its hunger for system resources and lack of features mean that OpenOffice.org 3 is still the best free office suite. Also, watch out for Symphony's lack of OOXML support.
