What exactly was going on here between Carr and ANU research professor Brian Schmidt at the launch of the ANU's new supercomputer yesterday? A new martial arts move? Explanation of a star going supernova?
The newly formed Australian Pirate Party came out swinging yesterday with a release criticising the international discussions currently being held in Korea to cement an Anti-Counterfeiting Trade Agreement.
Seven more federal government agencies, including the Department of Immigration and Citizenship, have applied to buy datacentre capacity from the government's new interim datacentre panel.
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy late yesterday said he had received the report from Enex Testlabs into trials of ISP-based internet filtering technology, and would release it "shortly" as part of a public consultation process.
For the first time, Kaz chief Mike Foster tells the full story about how the Peter Kazacos' baby was treated within Telstra, and how the deal with Fujitsu went down.
Microsoft has created the non-profit CodePlex Foundation to target increased communication between open source communities and software companies.
Optus, Vodafone and Three have long struggled to match Telstra's reach outside the capital cities. Vodafone's major network upgrade is the best chance yet to dilute Next G's rural monopoly, but questions remain.
Assets of the Australian MPEG-21 video compression technology company Enikos are up for sale, with investors unwilling to fund its further development.
Given that the new iPhone 3G S is rated at up to 7.2Mbps, you'd think Telstra would be all over it as a potential show pony for Next G's purported high-speed performance. Yet the opposite seems to be true.
Last year I opined that, even if Telstra did launch Apple's iPhone 3G, conflicting goals meant it couldn't afford to seriously back the product. This year, Telstra proved me right, and the reason is simple: Australia's biggest telco just wants to be a Mac.

The emergence of online social communities, micro-blogging sites and user-generated content has generated a new wave of legal issues.
Many would love to see the Pirate Party and Communications Minister Stephen Conroy face off in the Australian Senate, but the unorthodox political party doesn't have a snowball's chance in hell of winning the necessary votes.
The proposed regulatory reforms ahead of the roll-out of the National Broadband Network rely on a finely balanced carrot and stick approach. But will Telstra cooperate with the government's ultimatum?
Realestate.com.au is owned by News Limited and has grown into one of Australia's most popular property related Web sites. In February 2007, the same company launched property.com.au, which contains identical data to realestate.com.au, but has completely different user experience.
While there is no plan currently, taking all Google properties offline would make sense eventually to Google's Australia and New Zealand engineering director Alan Noble.
The HP EVA4400 is a Storage Area Network (SAN) system that provides data storage and security on a much larger scale than a simple RAID or NAS system. We found it to be a reliable and scalable high-end data system.
Western Digital's My Passport Elite is a quiet portable hard drive with a generous warranty. For the warranty, price and capacity, we found it to be excellent.
The ASUS Eee PC 900 is an excellent update to the Eee PC 701. The keyboard is still difficult to use, but the addition of a larger, higher-resolution screen, a multi-touch touchpad and more storage gives it the edge over its mini-notebook rivals.
If you work with images, a graphics tablet has obvious advantages: directly edit vector art, retouch images, paint, produce video special effects, and so on. True, tablets aren't for everyone. If you work with a tablet now, you'll probably find a Cintiq even more fluid and powerful.
Decent performance, GPS and good connectivity are a plus for a handset with yesterday's heavy-set PDA aesthetics.
