Since Tuesday, Gartner has been holding its annual ITXPO, or Symposium, at Sydney's Darling Harbour.
Victoria Police's IT division under disgraced chief information officer Valda Berzins had a "disregard for proper procurement and contract management", a new report has revealed, which saw contracts fail to go to tender while their dollar values ballooned beyond approved amounts.
Communications Minister Stephen Conroy has taken the rap for mistakenly making public confidential information about the value of Telstra's copper network assets.
Telstra has distanced itself from the ACCC's estimates of the value of its copper access network, estimates that were accidentally released yesterday by Minister for Communications Stephen Conroy.
The federal government will have to rely on the support of the entire Senate crossbench if it wants parliament to approve its plan to restructure Telstra before the end of the year.
Next month the Senate Select Committee on the NBN will table its final report. It will reflect the views of 100 or so submitted documents and a series of public hearings.
It's all very well to roll-out technology, but if you don't force your employees to use it, it's just another piece of expensive equipment that takes up office space.
How well Stephen Conroy handles Telstra's challenge will determine whether we're hurtling towards a great new era in telecommunications, or fated to even more years stuck in the grip of Telstra's well-entrenched market position.
Labor's fibre-to-the-premises NBN was meant to be an act of freedom, a breaking-free from 100 years of copper infrastructure legacy and the start of something new. So why in the world are we still discussing Telstra's copper network?
The long-awaited launch of New Zealand's newest mobile operator 2degrees took place this morning; but the offering isn't as hot as it could be by a long shot.
Fedora is Red Hat's younger, more community-driven desktop-centric distribution. ZDNet.com.au grabbed the ISOs hot out of the oven to see what Fedora 12 was all about.
When you really get down to it, former Victoria Police chief information officer Valda Berzins and her offsider John Brown aren't so different from many other IT managers in the public sector.
Antivirus software manufacturers all claim to protect us against threats, but how well do they actually perform? We put six popular business internet security packages to the test.
There are as always exceptions, but most ICT vendors are simply not doing the right thing by the thousands of SME customers in Australia and New Zealand.
The level of ignorance from Australian politicians about technology can be staggering. Here's some of the worst examples we've seen, and a short recipe for resolving the issue.
David Forman answers Telstra allegations that he and his wife Senator Kate Lundy plot against the company at the breakfast table.
In the coming years, the conference table will be a computer, the whiteboard will be a computer, says Microsoft Chairman Bill Gates.
Antivirus software manufacturers all claim to protect us against threats, but how well do they actually perform? We put six popular business internet security packages to the test.
What's the best mid-range server on the market? We put machines from Dell, Hewlett-Packard, IBM and Lenovo through their paces in our labs.
The Latitude 2100 is an interesting answer to customising for the needs of schools. As a by-product, Dell has created a robust little netbook that can just as easily be tossed around by any techie who likes to work roughly.
HighPoint's RocketRAID 2340 is designed for those running a file server on the cheap. While it doesn't haul massive throughput thanks to its lack of hardware grunt, and the lack of Solaris support is lamentable, for the price it does the job admirably.
Looking for a phone for well under $100? Samsung's E2510 makes excellent calls and is easy to use, but you can forget about the extra trimmings on this one.
