The BeerFiles
beerfiles_email_logo_2BeerFiles is an in-your-face and sometimes irreverent blog concerning all things to do with IT, technology, people and the media from the point of view of a hard boiled technology journalist and commentator. Stan has been in the IT game for about a quarter of a century. In that time, he has seen and written about the rise and fall of more than a few IT players and made many friends, some of whom he has even crossed swords with on occasions. Everything in this blog is purely Stan’s opinion so if you agree, wish to expand upon, correct a post or tell Stan he’s a clueless know nothing, please feel free to do so.

User Rating: / 3
Monday, 28 July 2008
The still nascent podcast phenomenon is set to explode driven by the emergence of the massively popular Apple iPhone, according to one of the world's leading social networkers. One of the keys will be the adoption of the iPhone by business users.

Monday, 21 July 2008
The news that consumers are still lining up to get into the new Sydney Apple store is astounding, but if any of them are actually buying anything other than an iPhone, they're crazy.

 
Why Telstra does not want you to buy its iPhone 3G
User Rating: / 8
Friday, 11 July 2008
The iPhone 3G is a revolutionary device which breaks a lot of communications boundaries and that is precisely why Telstra does not want a bar of it. After looking at its voice and data plans, it is crystal clear that Telstra offers the iPhone 3G because it has to not because it wants to.

 
Australian Government gas bags back gas over green hybrids

Tuesday, 08 July 2008
Like most drivers these days, I've been exploring options for cutting costs which still enable me to run a car. It has been a surprise to discover that the Australian Government elected last year partially on its green credentials is actually more friendly to big oil than alternative energy.

 
Functional separation works for broadband: UK communications regulator
User Rating: / 4
Sunday, 06 July 2008
While Telstra promotes the ideas that telecoms regulation and functional separation of its wholeslale and retail divisions are anathema, the UK communications regulator begs to differ. In fact, in its latest report the UK Office of Communications (Ofcom) states that functional separation has been a resounding success - especially for broadband competition.

Sunday, 29 June 2008
Regardless of what opinion one might hold of Bill Gates, there can be no denying that concerning IT he is a man with vision. Thus, it comes as no surprise that at just 52 he has cut the cord with his baby, Microsoft. Gates has known for a long time Microsoft is a company on the wane.

 
eBay: do unto Australia what you cannot do in the US
User Rating: / 18
Monday, 23 June 2008
It is hard to fathom the behaviour of eBay in Australia over the past couple of months because never in the history of the technology industry has a multinational company so flagrantly flagged its intention to flout this country's commercial laws. The question is how should Australia as a market respond?

 
Can eBay continue to force sellers to offer PayPal as an option?
User Rating: / 8
Monday, 16 June 2008
Since May 21, all eBay Australia sellers have been forced to offer PayPal as an option for buyers. However, the Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) recently decided to deny eBay the right to enforce a PayPal only policy on its Australian site. Will the ACCC force eBay Australia to shut down its mandatory PayPal option for sellers?

 
eBay continues to flog dead horse by challenging no PayPal only ruling
User Rating: / 24
Saturday, 14 June 2008
eBay has issued a statement on its Australian website expressing its disappointment that Australian Competition and Consumer Commission has blocked its plan to enforce the use of PayPal on the eBay Australia site. However, with just about everyone outside eBay agreeing with the ACCC decision, eBay has incredibly decided to challenge the ruling. Does eBay know the meaning of the expression flogging a dead horse?

 
Bye bye desktop, $1B Web Cloud is new home for apps: Google
User Rating: / 3
Thursday, 12 June 2008
While the world watched in rapturous awe at the happenings that took place a few days ago at the Apple WWDC, earlier this month Google held its own developers conference for the first time. The Google I/O conference, held in San Francisco, had one clear message - forget the desktop, the "Cloud" is where it's at and the Web is the new platform for application development. It's already a $1 billion market and growing fast.

 
Desktop software: not green, not lean and mighty unclean
User Rating: / 2
Monday, 09 June 2008
An alternative title for this article was polluting the world, one program at a time but that's not fair. There's plenty of good software being developed that isn't a wasteful source of greenhouse gases, it just generally doesn't sit on the desktop anymore.
