Features and Case Studies

Reviews

  • BlackBerry 8707g

    The BlackBerry 8707g is reasonably zippy and easy-to-use, but lacks many common smartphone features like Wi-Fi and microSD memory expansion.

  • Zoho Invoice

    Zoho Invoice is a useful but limited online tool that allows small teams to manage and track invoices. It's easy to use and customise, and the management interface is intuitive and clearly laid out.

  • Annoying software: a rogues' gallery

    Here are ten of the guilty parties who try to do the impossible: to make us hate the internet and wish it had never been invented -- and who very nearly succeed.

  • WordPerfect Office X4

    Many free and inexpensive office suites are available for download or for use in a web browser. So what's the advantage of paying a pretty penny for a desktop office suite? Corel's WordPerfect Office X4 offers a strong software package that comes closest to the breadth and depth of features found in Microsoft Office.

  • Maxthon 2.0.8

    Of the less well known open source browsers, Maxthon has been gaining attention as the second most popular Web browser in its home state of China. Based on IE's Trident engine, we found it to be highly customisable; however its lack of support makes it difficult to recommend for business.

  • Adobe Photoshop Express beta

    Adobe recently released a beta of their on-line version of Photoshop based on flash — Photoshop Express. Despite terms of use that gives Adobe the rights to your photos, we think the beta version shows promise.

  • Acer Veriton 1000

    Acer's Veriton 1000 is designed for corporate rollouts, impressing with its quiet operation and sleek design. While it will easily knock over office tasks, expect to pay a premium for a small form factor.

  • AVG Internet Security 8.0

    AVG Internet Security 8.0 provides strong protection against malicious Web sites, but its full-system scans sometimes tax system resources and produce false positives.

  • Acer TravelMate 6292 (602G16Mn)

    The Acer TravelMate 6292 passes muster, and comes in at a great price. We just wish it looked a little nicer.

  • Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac (Special Media Edition)

    Office 2008 for Mac may be the best pick for business users, but most people can get by with less expensive alternatives.

  • Give me a ship, and a trading scheme to steer her by

    Watching the latest, hilarious stage in the Jimmy Kimmel-Matt Damon "feud" -- which racked up 2.5 million YouTube views in one day -- I was struck by a thought: who in the world is paying for all this bandwidth?

  • Keep watching the skies -- for RIM and Google?

    Previously, much of the business model for the in-flight connectivity market has remained up in the air -- but that could all be about to change thanks to RIM and pals.

  • Seven: The new Telstra?

    A good merger always gets the pulse racing -- and Seven's takeover of Unwired could be shaping up to be one of the most interesting for a while.

  • Google's green data plans a hypocrisy?

    Google's plans for greener datacentres are being promoted with great fervour, but its calls for greater environmental accountability have some definite limitations.

  • Seriously, Ten: What's going on?

    The major security flaws suffered by the Big Brother Web site are the most recent example of an apparent "launch first, fix later" approach within Channel Ten. But a chequered history with the Web may help explain the problems.

  • Boundless Web mail bad news for IT managers

    Yahoo's decision to offer unlimited storage capacity for Web mail users might be great news for home users keen to swap stupidly high-resolution photos, but for enterprise IT managers it's just another pain in the backside.

  • Emoticon designer a Tropfest finalist

    Tropfest Best Comedy winner Jayce White's other claim to fame is creating the emoticons for Yahoo Messenger. We talk to him about the design process, upcoming smileys and his favourite emoticon.

  • My Channel Ten manifesto

    Hey Channel Ten, I'm sorry I slagged you off last year. So your Web site is pretty cruddy, Yasmin turned out to be the queen of the harpies, and Matthew Newton brought shame to you over the new year. We all make mistakes. But before your site relaunches, might I be so bold as to make some suggestions for what to include?

  • Channel 10's wacky wiki marketing

    Why would Channel 10 bother with a Web site for its new drama series when there's Wikipedia? Well, here are several reasons.

  • Yahoo7 cancels Webcast of Irwin memorial

    Yahoo7 cancelled plans for a live stream of today's memorial service for Steve Irwin at the eleventh hour following an inability to secure "the necessary clearance and approvals required for an online broadcast".

  • Angus Kidman I'm a celebrity, don't back me up
    Celebrity comes with its perks — free alcohol, better-looking partners, lots of holiday time — and disadvantages — constant media intrusions, being forced to appear in films with Eddie Murphy for the long-term good of your career, and having to do mindless radio interviews with angry men who've been awake since 4am.
  • Array Lies, damned lies and telco stupidity
    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.
  • Array Dear carriers: More walking, less talking
    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.
