Hi *|FNAME|*,

 

 

 

The blocking of 1200 legal websites by the Australian Securities and Investments Commission has sparked calls for the federal government to reveal who it's censoring, and why.

Telstra has apologised for leaking customer data online. It is not the first time it has happened, and it is unlikely to be the last.

Google makes billions from internet advertising and is peeved (if we can be any politer) at Microsoft’s new YouTube app for Windows Phone that blocks advertisements.

Microsoft's Surface Pro is an excellent opportunity for the company to right the wrongs of its lukewarm first effort. We tell why this could be the great comeback product that fixes the shortcomings of its predecessor Windows Surface RT.

A petition demanding that Adobe reverse its subscription-only model for its creative software, including Photoshop, has collected over 13,000 signatures.

Asus’s VivoTab Smart Windows 8 tablet is a surprisingly good, well priced bundle with a Bluetooth keyboard and softcover thrown in.

According to a new report Android is an increasingly powerful malware magnet and security incidents continue to rise significantly.

HP has announced a new hybrid Windows 8 tablet/notebook called the Split x2 and an Android tablet called the SlateBook x2. Expected availability in Australia is August 2013.

Peak telecommunications consumer body ACCAN has called on the ACCC to take action on mobile games that advertise as free but aggressively encourage or require in-app purchases to keep playing.
