    Woolworths, the fresh mobile people

    When Coles introduced Fly Buys, Woolworths introduced Everyday Rewards. When Coles introduced petrol discount vouchers, Woolworths introduced petrol discount vouchers. It's a bold plan, but can it and Coles' inevitable copycat product change the prepaid mobile world for the better?

  • What's the magic price point for SSDs?

    Ever since Anand Lal Shimpi described using SSD drives as the single most noticeable upgrade you can do to your computer, I've been looking for the right price point to follow his example and make the SSD move. But at what price?

  • Why an iPod beats Chrome OS

    Google announced the open-sourcing of its Chrome OS early this morning, and the search giant was very clear in explaining its target market for Chrome OS devices: this is a companion device, not a primary desktop machine. But is a Chrome OS netbook intrinsically better than a lowly iPod?

  • CIO profile: Peter Nikoletatos, Curtin University

    It's been just over 12 months since Peter Nikoletatos moved west to take over the role of CIO at Perth's Curtin University of Technology. Since then, he's been working to manage the inevitable complexities of university IT while making sure he has enough time to keep his head in the clouds.

  • Optus Wireless: Now cheaper, sort of

    Optus is now offering its wireless broadband plans cheaper, but only for the first 12 months.

  • Sue Trujillo

    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.

  • HP Envy 15 (1015TX)

    HP's new Envy 15 packs high-powered components into a svelte 15-inch body. The result is an upscale status symbol that still shows a few first-generation rough edges.

  • HP Envy 13

    HP's upscale Envy 13 looks and feels like an expensive status symbol, with performance and features that impress us but its high price makes it a tough sell over the similar-looking MacBook Pro.

  • HP ProBook 5310m

    If you are after a tiny laptop and are certain you won't ever be playing any graphically intensive games on it, you'd be hard pressed to find a better machine than HP's 5310m.

  • Samsung Galaxy Spica (i5700)

    On the surface the Spica looks like a very competent smartphone, but we're beginning to expect a lot more from manufacturers that take on Google's OS.

  • Asus UL50Vt

    It doesn't quite live up to its own battery hype, otherwise Asus' thin and light laptop is pretty good.
