Over at Geekspeak, my weekly column has looked at the mobile office concept through the prism of the smartphone. By way of that brother of mine — the one I’m frequently mistaken for. I don’t know why — his hair looks totally different to mine. Is the mobile office a reality right now? “The concept […]

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

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

An interesting start to the week. First off, over at CNET, a monochrome multifunction laser printer: Fuji Xerox DocuPrint M205b: “Fuji Xerox’s inexpensive multifunction monochrome laser delivers pleasing printing results, but small businesses need to keep its lack of networking in mind.” OK, OK, mono lasers aren’t that thrilling, all things considered. The other, slightly

This week’s Hydrapinion covers my personal thoughts on the fact that my iOS devices are watching me right now, by way of Catherine Tate and a dated catchphrase reference: Apple’s iPhone Snooping: Am I Bovvered? “Does codswallop come in smaller portions than loads?” Then at CNET.com.au, a colour LED printer that’s not exactly fast: Fuji

When I think of Elite, I tend to think of… well… Elite. When Telstra thinks of Elite, it thinks of something slightly different, as I’ve covered today for CNET.com.au: Telstra Elite Mobile Wi-Fi: “Telstra’s Elite Wi-Fi modem improves on the original in almost every way, but data costs are still a problem.” Meanwhile, still at

But today I went head to head with a hangar of full of Samsung products and only 30 seconds to make them interesting [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6EPAgesXP9I[/youtube] (and yes, it’s yet another 30 Seconds Of Tech starting with the letter S. No, I don’t know why either) Before dealing with more than a dozen iPad 2 cases over

My, I’ve been a busy boy this week. But enough about me. What do you think of me? Before you answer, consider this week’s offerings, which have been keeping me up late at nights. Mostly because that’s when I’ve been able to work this week. First up, this week’s Hydrapinion, which pits Nintendo’s glossy 3D-capable handheld

Another busy day sees yet more content going live. First up, at CNET.com.au, a review of a very nice trackball. I’m going to be sad to see this one go back, frankly: Kensington Orbit Trackball with Scroll Ring: “The design of the Orbit ball makes it stand out from the trackball crowd, which traditionally goes
