Yet more pimping of my online writings, which today come from multiple sources. First, at APCMag.com, we have: Shock revelations on “green” IT: “PR people for Jobs, Ballmer, Trujilo, Otellini, Schmidt and Dell break ranks to tell us the truth about what these companies really think about “green IT”” Then we head to CNET.com.au, for […]

While a lot of my writing has, of late, been dominated by the online world, I do still scribe out words that end up on bits of flattened trees. Such is the case with the June 2008 issue of PC User Magazine, which is so rich with Alex-penned goodness, they’d only need an Alex centrefold
The BBC would like to point out that not all barn owls are called Mr Peters… Read More »
Wow. It’s not often I can use a Goodies quote in context. The context, in this case, being the headline for this news story written today for PC Authority: Fixed phone lines to go way of the dodo? “New report from ACMA indicates pent-up interest in dropping fixed telephone line services. Could this be the
Was it going cheap? No, it was going ERRRRKKKK!!! Read More »
One turns to the other and says: “You drive, I’ll man the guns.”* This can only be a sign that another satire news piece of mine is live at APCMag.com, inspired largely by my father forcing me to watch far too many episodes of “Yes Minister” when I was but a nipper (not that I’m

Fatigue hurts. It really hurts. I just don’t remember it hurting this much before. I must be getting old, or something. So, of course, the writing continues. Strangely, I’ve written quite a bit elsewhere, but it’s the rapid folks at PC Authority who are publishing my stuff first, which is why it might have seemed
Guh. Fancy words go here. Read More »
Yeah, I know. The subject lines — they’re not making a whole lot of sense. Blame my overall lack of sleep, which is even more wretched than usual. It does have its strange upside; as my brain struggles to stay awake, it also writes at a furious pace, as witnessed by these couple of stories

But then again, based on the fairly short commentary available, neither did anyone else. I’m not a news guy, and it is just a rework of a press release, but I suspect I might be first online with this one… Vodafone announces Australian iPhone: “The cat’s out of the bag – you should be able
Well, I didn't exactly see that one coming… Read More »
I’ve got to stop these 3am starts… they’re killing me. They don’t seem to be hurting the old productivity, mind you, with yet another PC Authority Mac Blog hitting the virtual presses today. As a special bonus, I even sing in this one! There is nothin’ like an iMac: “Alex Kidman has a challenge for

Hang on a second — I have hats? What kind of hats? I mean, an Investigator’s hat I can understand — I’ve written this month’s Investigator column in PC Authority. But the possibilities with hats are potentially infinite. I could have hats that give me strange, mystical powers, or hats that endow me with the
And now, I put on my investigator's hat… Read More »
Alex Kidman, bringing you the news stories* that the other journalists are afraid to touch. Via APCMag.com in this case: Nokia declares massive change in corporate strategy: “Nokia is cutting out middlemen (“users”) and will sell mobiles directly to other mobiles.” You find out all sorts of interesting things researching stories (even “stories” like the
