    Forget the NBN, 100Mbps is already here

    Telstra and TransACT will shortly begin offering 100Mbps broadband to many customers. By moving early, the companies have not only raised the bar for Australia's broadband services, but thrown down a challenge to a government that now faces increased pressure to deliver the NBN as promised.

    Ubuntu can't cut geek support umbilical

    Bluff called, can Conroy still tame Telstra?

    How well Stephen Conroy handles Telstra's challenge will determine whether we're hurtling towards a great new era in telecommunications, or fated to even more years stuck in the grip of Telstra's well-entrenched market position.

    Non-professional Oracle wrestling

    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.

  • That other broadband revolution

    While everyone was distracted by the NBN, a revolution was under way in the supply of fixed line broadband.

  • Hoffman is Conroy's tasty new media carrot

    Hoffman's position on the board will ensure that the National Broadband Network Company can engage with the content industry in a meaningful way.

  • Time for a regulation rethink

    Loosening the regulatory controls on Telstra might actually make it easier to attract customers away from its copper network and onto the new and shiny National Broadband Network.

  • NBN numbers don't stack up

    The early signs aren't that promising if the Rudd Government wants to get the private sector to invest in its new $43 billion National Broadband Network.

  • Gigabyte Booktop M1022M

    The Booktop may be on the costly side, thanks to the bundled docking station, but it still falls below "premium" netbook costs. Plus the excellent battery life and ability to switch from a desk-bound PC to a portable mini-laptop captured our attention.

  • BenQ Joybook Lite U121 Eco

    With "Eco" and "Lite" in its name does that mean the U121 is a product with fewer features with a high price for the sake of being branded as environmentally friendly?

  • Brother MFC-990CW

    The Brother MFC-990CW is a speedy, fully capable all-in-one device that earns our recommendation for an individual or a family that will make use of its touchscreen and telephone/answering machine.

  • LG GM730

    The GM730's feature set makes it feel like it belongs in 2008. Unless you really like the design, there are much better WiMo phones out there to choose from.

  • Asus U50Vg

    The U50Vg has some annoying design issues, but it's a great laptop that can be relied on when out and about.
