I did a double take recently after listening to Microsoft CFO Chris Liddell acknowledge that his company was ready to lose even more money in online services in the near term, if that's what it takes to catch Google.
The Australian Taxation Office (ATO) is trying to fix two "annoying" features that clients face when they attempt to call for advice when its staff are too busy a persistent busy tone or being "chopped off" the line without an explanation.
Forget pointing the finger at China when government systems and defence contractors are compromised it's the dirty work of Danish hackers, says Finnish security researcher, Mikko Hyppnen.
Defence has been too disorganised to deliver current technology to staff. Defence CIO Greg Farr hopes to turn the department around with stronger leadership.
Take a look at what ZDNet Australia readers have checking out this year, with our list of the most read blogs of 2007.
The amount of attention the HTC Dream gets when I flash it around in New Zealand is quite remarkable; and the HTC Magic on Vodafone seems set to get even more.
We've all experienced that irritating feeling upon walking into a nearly empty restaurant, only to see little 'reserved' signs on the empty tables, and to be told by the matre d' that no tables are available even as other people enter and are escorted to their tables.
Streaker Robert Ogilvie may have learned the hard way that getting naked can be painful, but many other Australians are apparently learning the same lesson as they try to break ties with Telstra once and for all.
In telecoms, Telstra is no 800 pound gorilla. It's an 800 pound colic-ridden infant, irritably throwing its toys out of the pram when it doesn't get its own way.
Will Internode's (sudden) and dramatic price hike for its broadband plans undo the G9's plans for an affordable, high-speed broadband network?
In the second part of his interview, Defence CIO Greg Farr talks about outsourcing, the skills crisis and reveals his most urgent IT priority.
Company president and chief operating officer Dirk Meyer is being groomed to succeed Hector Ruiz, but first he must prove that last year's engineering mistakes were an aberration.
Michael Meeks is a distinguished engineer at Novell. But his current project may be his toughest yet. He is in charge of tackling interoperability between Novell's OpenOffice.org productivity suite and Microsoft Office. And as with anything relating to Microsoft, this involves more than just technology.
Making a job change can be a life-altering decision, often requiring considerable courage and a leap of faith -- but it's easier if you're convinced that it's the right thing to do. Here is a list of factors that helped guide one IT professional's decision.
When you put technology assets into an unfriendly environment, the lifecycle of your equipment may be cut in half. Fortunately, you can take steps to help preserve it, along with simplifying maintenance, operations, and support.
We like the simplicity of the HP Officejet 6000 single-function inkjet printer, but its lack of an LCD screen takes some getting used to. Nevertheless, it performed well and earns our recommendation as a great single-function printer.
Windows 7 looks like the operating system that we've all been waiting for. Despite its imperfections, it shows a lot of promise for the future while presenting a stable platform that can compete comfortably with OS X.
We've tested plenty of printers at CNET, but very few have frustrated us as much as the Brother DCP-165C multifunction has. The counter-intuitive set-up, bland design, deplorable print quality and crawling output speeds earn this printer a double thumbs down.
The BlackBerry Storm looks smart, but its innovative SurePress touch-screen causes us a few concerns. We're also surprised and disappointed by the absence of Wi-Fi.
TC's Touch Pro fixes many of the problems with the Touch Diamond and adds a superb keyboard. It remains neat and compact, while battery life is improved (if still not perfect).
