It’s been a very busy week… and it shows no sign of slowing down any time soon. Over at CNET, I’ve reviewed a mouse. As I explain in my review, it’s just a mouse… Microsoft Express Mouse: “Back in the late 1980s, Madonna insisted that it was important that you “Express Yourself”. A year earlier, […]

I’ve not written a lot of stories about the Cloud, which probably marks me out as exceptional amongst Australia’s IT journalist community. Even the games journos who only cover Barbie-themed games have written a few Cloud pieces by now. So today, I broke with that silence via an analysis of Apple’s announcement of iCloud overnight

It’s been a busy day today. Too busy, actually. So, what have I been up to? At Hydrapinion, my Carry column looked at how taxi drivers view GPS: Taxicab Confessions: “I was in the back of a cab yesterday — no, before you start wondering, this isn’t one of those kinds of stories…” At PC

A busy day here — both in the office and out and about. Firstly, at CNET, a review of a larger-than-normal printer: Canon Pixma iX6550: “The iX6550 isn’t awash with features, but those after a somewhat compact A3 printer should find it good value.” Then at Geekspeak, two columns covering the rise of the eBook

It’s all about the money, apparently. Except if you’re a journalist; while it’s an intellectually rewarding profession, it’s rarely what you’d call genuinely lucrative. Which is why, in my idle moments, I dream up get-rich-quick-schemes, like the one outlined in this week’s Hydrapinion: How to build your own Android Smartphone and MAKE MILLIONS!* “Just follow

Another week kicks off, and with it a fresh menu of delicately prepared articles. Today, Chef Alex recommends: At PC & Tech Authority, one part of the massive mobile broadband feature I’ve mentioned previously has gone up, detailing Optus’ test results: Optus wireless broadband reviewed: “Optus’ network performance remains impressive, but…” At CNET.com.au, an inexpensive
