  • Images: The changing face of Web mail

    With Windows Live Mail currently being tested, here is a look back at how Web-based e-mail has changed since 1997.

  • First Take: MSN Search

    Microsoft hustles to catch up with search engine giants Google and Yahoo, but the beta version of MSN Search still leaves plenty of room for improvement.

  • First Take: Yahoo Messenger with Voice

    Free voice calls and voicemail, built-in Web searches, and drag-and-drop photo sharing make Yahoo's new instant messenger a fun, powerful IM tool.

  • Trillian reconnects to Yahoo

    Cerulean Studios has released a software patch that will let a version of its Trillian instant-messaging service communicate with Yahoo Messenger, according to its co-founder.

  • Yahoo heralds corporate messaging

    Yahoo has unveiled a version of its Messenger service designed to work with corporate portals and business applications.

  • Fast AlltheWeb: Google killer?

    Could a Norwegian owned Web search utility unseat Google's stranglehold on the Web searching market?

  • Yahoo! Media Player Beta 2.0

    We found this player so far behind its competitors that it appears almost quaintly anachronistic. Unless you're researching the state of the art of media-player technology circa 1998, we see no reason to download this product.

  • Adobe Photoshop Express beta

    Adobe recently released a beta of their on-line version of Photoshop based on flash Photoshop Express. Despite terms of use that gives Adobe the rights to your photos, we think the beta version shows promise.

  • Google Docs

    Google Docs is a fantastic free online application that offers some exciting features. However, by virtue of being an online application, users with a slow connection will experience lag, and Docs still doesn't contain enough functionality to be a replacement for today's mainstay office suites in most businesses.

  • Firefox 3 beta 1: a first look

    A few months later than originally planned, Mozilla has released the first beta version of Firefox 3, the widely used open-source Web browser. Firefox 3 beta 1 includes a number of features that Mozilla says should improve security, ease of use, rendering of Web pages and location of previously visited Web pages.

  • WordPerfect Office X4

    Many free and inexpensive office suites are available for download or for use in a web browser. So what's the advantage of paying a pretty penny for a desktop office suite? Corel's WordPerfect Office X4 offers a strong software package that comes closest to the breadth and depth of features found in Microsoft Office.

  • Windows Live Hotmail

    Drag-and-drop message organisation and a built-in MP3 player are among the notable new features to this radical overhaul of Hotmail.

  • Microsoft Office 2008 for Mac: a first look

    A new version of Microsoft Office for Mac is due in a couple of weeks. Here are our impressions after testing the release candidate for a month or so.

  • Norton Internet Security 2008

    While Symantec's protection is solid, the overall user experience within Norton Internet Security 2008 could be much, much better. Not all the features work together and use fewer system resources.

  • First Take: Google Talk

    With an interface that lacks ads but is also short on features, this early Google Talk beta serves Gmail users who want to chat via text or voice.

  • David Braue NBN needs workers on board
    Without consensus on labour issues, the eventual winner of the NBN may end up as little more than a lame duck and a cashed-up symbol of the conflict between the desire for progress and the lack of mechanisms to deliver it.
  • Array D'Ascenzo: Read p23 of security review
    Following yesterday's admission by the Australian Taxation Office that its courier had lost a CD containing the details of 3,000 self-managed super funds, it wants to review how it handles information. My suggestion: go back to the review completed in April.
  • Array Opening the floodgates on missing drives
    News headlines about portable storage devices going missing are as common as muck, but the problem could be even more widespread than you suspect.
