Construction needs cloud flexibility
Australia’s embattled construction sector could benefit from cloud based information systems that can be switched on and off in lockstep with individual projects – with the exception of those organisations based in remote areas like the Kimberleys.

Duke Nukem 'Fornever': a game that should be nuked?

From across the web, it turns out the game that took 15 years to emerge shouldn't have bothered coming out and wasting everyone's time.
iTWire colleague Mike Bantick has had a good play of Duke Nukem Forever, and it looks like he's been as underwhelmed as the rest of the Internet, if not more-so.
What does Duke Nukem Forever promise?
Unimaginative gameplay, levels, weapons, humour, graphics, fighting styles and storyline, along with a multi-player mode that introduces absolutely nothing new to the equation.
There's even the sad realisation that the Xbox 360 version of the game looks absolutely terrible when compared to the PC version.
Duke Nukem once had cred: way back in his 3D days, when his 'humour' was fresh, funny and in-your-face.
Now it's just in-your-face in the worst way imaginable, with the game starting off seeing you as Duke urinating into a toilet, and then, for some unimaginable reason, handling faeces.
The funny thing is that the game's creators think this is a hoot, and will get you right into the character of Duke Nukem, but toilet humour is only ultimately good for flushing right out of your life, and preferably avoiding completely, if at all possible.
Look, if you really want to believe that Duke Nukem Forever is worthy of your time, then for goodness sakes, play it in store first (if they dare to have it easily playable) or find some friend who has already spent the cash and play their copy before blindly plopping down your own cash.
You'll likely save yourself a lot of money, while setting yourself up to buy the game at what will soon likely be at knockdown prices just to get rid of remaining stock.
According to the Internet, Duke Nukem Forever is an unmitigated disaster that should never have been exhumed from his radioactive grave.
Is it any surprise that the re-animated corpse of the Duke is nothing but a zombie?
