The Australian Law Reform Commission yesterday released a report recommending Australia introduce data breach disclosure laws but Senator John Faulkner said that bridge would not be crossed by government at least for the next 18 months.
The nation's number two telco Optus has flown in a technical guru from its equipment supplier Nokia in Finland to get to the bottom of embarrassing network outages that knocked customers offline along Australia's east coast last week.
Amazon.com's Simple Storage Service, S3, spent a few hours Sunday in a big pothole on the road to the glorious cloud computing future, with an outage taking the storage system offline for several hours Sunday. Should we be surprised?
The nation's third-largest telco AAPT last week said it would begin migrating the rest of its customers to its new Hyperbaric billing platform this September, after stopping the process halfway earlier this year due to a wave of complaints.
An online video start-up launched by three Australian entrepreneurs (including,apparently, an old acquaintance of mine from university) has been bought by Google subsidiary YouTube for a reported US$15 million.
Earlier this month, Telstra put out a press release trumpeting that it's come up with a new phone coaching service to help people who are "bamboozled" by their mobiles. Another excellent example of wrongheaded thinking from the mobile industry.
Sometimes, a well-placed and well-timed letter can make all the difference. Other times, it can make no difference at all and even hurt your case. This week's missive by the Competitive Carriers' Coalition, I would suggest, falls into the latter category.
Banks obviously have an interest in making consumers feel safe. They are there to protect the customers' money.

If you start editing a document and then, after making numerous changes and saving the changes, you realise you shouldn't have made the changes in the first place, ShadowCopy might save the day. In this video we demonstrate how to access a "backup" version of the file that was created by Vista.
The Asus VW223B is acceptable for its intended audience those who need to add a second monitor cheaply, and are undemanding in its use.
HP's latest iPAQ, the 612c Business Navigator, is a solid offering with lots of features and good battery life. It's a bland-looking and giant handset, but good performance and crisp touchscreen somewhat make up for the poor keypad.
Although it covers all the NAS bases and is very affordable, it's hard to see the TeraStation Pro II Rackmount having much of an impact on the business market.
