Cybercrime fighter Eugene Kaspersky can't help but be impressed by the slick operations behind the Conficker botnet, and says that it could have been worse had the botnet been after more than just money.
The NSW Department of Education and Training will hire hundreds of extra full-time IT staff to support the 220,000 netbooks to be deployed this year, but the fleet's operating system is yet to be announced.
A whole gaggle of Atom powered UMPCs turned up at the Intel Developer Forum this week, including offerings from Lenovo, Fujistu, Sharp and Panasonic.
Microsoft has acquired a small search technology company Powerset to buttress its search efforts, but it won't shake Google's grasp of the search market in the short term.
Xerox gave a sneak peek last Thursday at its cured gel ink for digital printers that works on a large variety of materials from foil to super-slick plastic to cardboard.
Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala was officially released overnight and marked the eleventh release of the distribution. It's attractive, polished and measured, but fails "the grandma test".
I can't say I ever thought a laptop was too heavy or bulky or genuinely inconvenient because I couldn't effortlessly slide one into an unpadded manila envelope.
I recently visited the shiny new Apple store located beneath a glass cube on Fifth Avenue in New York City.
Mere days after resolving that although I would ideally like a smaller screen size, a 15.4" MacBook Pro was The Laptop For Me, Apple releases the 13" MacBook.
The real beauty of the Palm Pre is the webOS. Check it out in action with these screenshots of the various features and apps of the Pre.
Sol Trujillo has, not for the first time and perhaps not for the last, ignited a furore, this time over his charge that Australians are racist. While his broader comments mischaracterise a country generally welcoming to people of different cultural backgrounds, there is also some validity to them when it comes to the way he was treated during his stint here.
We give you a sneak peek at a "Technical Preview" build of Microsoft's upcoming Office 2010 suite before the company formally unveils it to the public.
There's no doubt that Ubuntu is a worthy rival to Windows 7 and even hands Mac OS X a cold dish of nasty in its stellar 9.04 release. Hats off to Mark Shuttleworth and his team: you got game.
Windows 7 will be one of Microsoft's greatest operating systems, if it fulfils the promise shown by the unofficial beta version we have been testing for the past couple of days.
Internet Explorer 8 takes some long-needed strides to bring it up to speed with its competitors. It's more secure, with tab sandboxing and more aggressive malicious site warnings, and introduces some slick new features like Accelerators and Web slices. Even with better support for web standards, it's far from perfect.
HP's biz-minded Mini 5101 is a successor to the Mini 2140 (one of our all-time favourite netbooks). It looks and feels great, but for a premium-price netbook, we expect to get more features, not fewer.
While we like the design, Samsung needs to do more with the software. Without customisation, Android's absent features are glaringly obvious.
Asus does a good job of combining a netbook and a touchscreen in the Eee PC T91, even if the system hits a couple of first-generation snags.
The U80V is without question our favourite 14-inch laptop, and Asus deserves praise for what it has achieved here. If the company can overcome the final stumbling block of having a reliable multi-touch touchpad on PC, we'll be thoroughly impressed indeed.
While the new HP Mini 110 is less expensive than the Mini 1000 and doesn't stray far from the same mould, there are some subtle design changes and they're not always for the best.
