Industry minister Kim Carr has launched Australia's most powerful computer in Canberra, ushering in a new era for scientific research.
AAPT has decided to use Google Apps for its 1300 staff after deliberations it called more philosophical than technical.
Sydney companies are taking precautions to ensure their datacentres are safe in the face of a massive dust storm that hit the city on Wednesday in the early hours.
Publisher News Limited has decided to cut down the number of its server operating systems from four to three, with Solaris drawing the short straw.
Optus today said that its move to start selling the Android-based HTC Dream would not see its 3G mobile network suffer congestion as it had appeared to when it launched the iPhone in mid-2008.
Amazon's Kindle comes to the Pacific region but not to New Zealand. Why?
Telephone call cards how dodgy are they, despite recent court actions by the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission?
As Rudd and Conroy railroad the NBN into reality, the Liberals are trying to inject some due process into the whole thing by holding Labor accountable for its decisions. However, with the future of Australian telecoms on the line and no real viable alternative, is it just a bit late for accountability?
Pigs are flying in flocks as Telstra has a change of heart on separation. Given the vitriol of the past few years, Rudd and Conroy deserve credit for bypassing the copper loop and, in so doing, bringing Australia's most big-mouthed telco in line at last.
Will the Regional Telecommunications Independent Review Committee's report linger as simply yet another ineffectual review guiding limp and ineffectual efforts to improve regional services?

Toshiba's Satellite U500 wants to be portable and powerful, which has a negative impact on both the battery life and the weight. Still, if you need power in a petite package, the U500 might do it for you.
The iPhone 3GS is faster and we appreciate the new features and extended battery life, but call quality and 3G reception still need improvement.
The Fusion-io ioDrive is in a performance field of its own. Home users are much better off RAIDing a few SSDs together; however, for those running servers that need extra throughput now, the Fusion-io represents an expensive, but justifiable saviour.
