Billions of years after Apple re-popularised the “all-in-one” desktop PC that’s all screen and no “box”, Toshiba has finally entered the desktop PC market with its own “all-in-one”, presenting it as a digital hub – just like Apple!

Don’t worry, Apple hasn’t gone mad with its pricing. Instead, auction house Christie’s is selling an Apple 1 computer, in what looks like original condition, not only made in the garage of Steve Jobs’ parents, but also coming with a “rare commercial letter from Steve Jobs” himself.

Automated expression recognition technology by the CSIRO is making Santa Claus’ job a lot easier these days. He may only need to check his list once, not twice, to see if you’ve been naughty or nice.

Researchers at the International Business Machines Corporation announced that they have built a computer that simulated the cerebral cortex--the thinking part of the brain--of a cat.  What's next? A human? Yes!

The National Museum of Computing at Bletchley Park, home to the UK's famous code breakers during World War Two, is on a mission to restore the world's oldest original working computer.

Telstra is offering a new round of grants of up to $A50,000 to help community groups teach seniors about using mobile phones and computers.

Those of us who work in technology have a jargon all of our very own. We know the difference between CPUs and GPUs, between SSD and HDD, let alone HD and SDTV! Yet, our users are flat out calling everything "the hard drive."

Impulse-buy retailer Zazz.com.au has sold computers in the past, but today's deal is a special one to my heart. For less than $200 including freight you get a Dell Optiplex desktop computer with Ubuntu Linux loaded and guaranteed fully working. However, you only have today to go for it.

In mobster parlance, to “waste” something is to get rid of it, hence the headline. Yet the question is vital, with millions of technological products currently going into landfill and polluting the earth for generations to come, with Australia’s politicians predictably “wasting” time dithering on not delivering a solution. The “TEC” demands action – now!

Are you or your employees stuck in “space-constrained” offices or cubicles? Then Dell’s new “OptiPlex 160” might be the answer to a bit of extra space on your desk, although if a few inches of extra space is the difference between sanity and insanity in the office, you might have other problems.
