Huawei and Alcatel-Lucent have been selected to manage and provide the "active infrastructure" for the country's planned next-generation national broadband network (NBN).
Telstra is expected to plead guilty today to breaching its obligations to provide competitors access to its copper network.
Far from the world of datacentres and silicon, an agriculture project at the University of Melbourne is an unlikely place to find the forefront of cloud computing and web applications.
Various Microsoft enthusiast sites have published what appear to be screenshots of Office 14, which is in early testing.
Australian use of the Twitter micro-blogging service hit an all-time high for the week ending 10 January 2009, as a number of factors contributed to its growth.

Commercial sensitivities ride roughshod over the NZ public's right to be informed.
Around one third of Australia's telcos have shut their doors over time, but that isn't stopping new ventures hoping to chip away at carriers' mobile call bonanza. By fighting carriers at the smartphone rather than the home phone, could the latest two contenders be onto something big?

We compare Xeon 5500 (Nehalem) servers from Dell, Fujitsu, Hewlett-Packard, IBM, Lenovo and Sun Microsystems and pick a winner.
HP' s 24-port ProCurve offers PoE+, a lifetime warranty and free software upgrades.
If you are in a processing/graphics-intensive role and your employer wants to increase your productivity, then start your purchase requisition for a Xenon Nitro Z5 Visual Workstation.
Intel's new Nehalem architecture features an integrated memory controller and runs two threads per CPU core. Our extensive benchmark tests reveal how well the new quad-core processors perform in practice.
While Core i7 presents a new performance paradigm, the heinously gluttonous Australian prices will need to come down before it's accepted by the mainstream.
