It comes as both a surprise and not a surprise that the New South Wales (NSW) state government chose a "safe bet" of Lenovo and Microsoft to supply many thousands of taxpayer-funded laptops to secondary school students. Was Linux ever on the short list?

Linux Australia has completed its 2009 election process with a new executive and committee announced. Yet, can the organisation maintain its claim to being the peak body when voter turnout suggests major disinterest?

Now, as the voting date fast approaches, could bringing the iPhone into the election battleground be the smartest tech move Obama 2.0 has made?
