  • Browser wars on the Mac

    PC users always say they have more apps than Mac users. But that's not true of browsers. We review five.

  • New IE may burst pop-up bubble

    Pop-up advertisements have thrived for years despite numerous efforts to eradicate them, but now online marketers are seriously wondering whether the Web's most detested ad format is about to meet its match: Microsoft.

  • Safari 1.0

    If you're only after speed, try Safari but keep your other browser, too. Security buffs should skip Safari for now.

  • Apple Safari 1.0 Beta 2

    If you're only after speed, try the Safari beta but keep your other browser, too. Security buffs should skip Safari for now.

  • New Netscape punctures pop-up ads

    AOL Time Warner has released a version of its Netscape browser that lets Web surfers suppress pop-up ads, a further sign of declining fortunes for a widely hated marketing format.

  • Investigating Vista's new search features

    While Virtual Folders offers one technique to help us keep track of our data, there's still a need for a Search tool in Microsoft's new operating system. We look at Windows Vista's new Search features and how they work.

  • Longhorn goes beyond search

    Microsoft will build multiple search solutions into the next version of Windows. Is it enough?

  • Find it fast: six apps that search your hard drive

    Need to find a specific e-mail message or file on your hard drive? You're not alone. Fortunately, six new localised-search apps let you search your hard drive. Read on to find out more.

  • Pop those pop-ups: Six packages tested

    Fed up with pop-up ads? We review six ad-free browser apps, each with its own method of removing annoying solicitations.

  • Samsung Omnia

    Although there are some design quirks, the Samsung Omnia promises to be a solid alternative to Apple's iPhone.

  • Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2009

    You can't beat the price. For a good, basic internet security suite, we recommend Trend Micro Internet Security 2009.

  • Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 Preferred

    Dragon NaturallySpeaking 10 isn't perfect, but it's the best dictation software available. We don't find this upgrade necessary for the most basic dictation, although new features may benefit heavily-accented English speakers and those who rely heavily on voice commands.

  • Firefox 3

    If only for the speed, lightness of being and security alone, Firefox remains our Editors' Choice for best internet browser.

  • HTC Touch Diamond

    HTC's Touch Diamond crams a multitude of features into a compact and stylish device, topped off by a flashy user interface. However, the TouchFLO 3D interface has too many rough edges and the battery life is terrible.

  • HP TouchSmart IQ505a

    The second generation TouchSmart as just a panel PC is gorgeous. The AU$1,999 price is fantastic as well " but we can't help but feel that there's so much more potential in the touchscreen aspect being left, ahem, untapped.

    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.
