  • Raritan Dominion PX8

    The Raritan Dominion PX keeps track of power consumption, and records temperature and humidity data from sensors placed amongst your servers. When combined with an un-interruptible power supply, we think it will keep your servers safe and happy.

  • Ubuntu 8.04 LTS

    Hardy Heron is an incremental set of advances on earlier versions, but all the advances are in the right direction. Unfortunately, a known and unfixed bug means we can't currently recommend it for enterprise use.

  • Maxthon 2.0.8

    Of the less well known open source browsers, Maxthon has been gaining attention as the second most popular Web browser in its home state of China. Based on IE's Trident engine, we found it to be highly customisable; however its lack of support makes it difficult to recommend for business.

  • Mozilla Thunderbird 2

    Thunderbird 2 provides a compelling option for users looking for an open source e-mail client.

  • Fonality Trixbox (Base Appliance)

    Fonality's trixbox is an ISDN and traditional POTS-style telephony system based on the open source Asterisk software, and comes with dedicated hardware eliminating compatibility issues. We found trixbox to be competitively priced and easy to set up.

  • OLPC XO

    The One Laptop Per Child (OLPC) project is unique as the XO laptop it distributes. While the XO is not commercially available, our review provides an insight into what can be achieved in a laptop designed for children at a very low cost.

  • Windows Server 2008

    Windows Server 2008 is easier to install and manage than previous versions, and has many new and improved features that should encourage organisations to upgrade.

  • 3CX Phone System for Windows

    By being very easy to configure and manage, the 3CX Phone System for Windows scores well on functionality and is compatible with most SIP handsets, gateways and services. However scalability could be an issue for larger organisations.

  • Asus EeePC 701

    The EeePC isn't for everyone in fact within about two seconds from picking it up you'll know if it's for you or not. For those it does appeal to, it's a brilliant little thing that fills a much lamented gap.

  • 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.

  • Aastra 53i

    Are you looking for a new IP phone for your office? Aastra's 53i is an attractive and very usable phone without the shocking price tag.

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard

    The grace of Leopard's interface enhancements makes productivity more pleasurable with a Mac, as more than 300 functional and fun features top off this update.

  • Adium X 1.0.5

    Given all the great consumer-facing open source software available, I figured I'd try to evaluate and write reviews on those I use most often. Open source long ago stopped being about developers for other developers. Here's proof.

  • Ubuntu 7.04

    Ubuntu is very user-friendly but not right for everyone. Oddly, both casual and advanced users will find this operating system wonderful, while day-to-day users may rail against Ubuntu's incompatibility with certain popular software applications.

  • Lotus Notes/Domino 8, Beta 2

    In version 8 of IBM/Lotus's upcoming collaboration suite, the client (Notes) moves to a new Java framework while the server (Domino) gets a number of overdue enhancements.

  • Renai LeMay StartupCamp Melbourne: The review
    StartupCamp Melbourne looks to have produced just as interesting ideas as the Sydney event which immediately preceded it, but the Victorian start-ups appear to have stumbled during execution. Sydney 1, Melbourne 0.
  • Array Google should come clean on datacentres
    It's nice that Google says it has put an effort into making its datacentres more energy efficient, but the search giant's pledges won't mean much until it discloses just how many of the beasties it's actually running.
  • Array US shows what OPEL could have been
    Sprint's WiMAX roll-out in Baltimore will prove the Australian government's decision to worm its way out of the Opel WiMAX contract was a short-sighted, and ultimately damaging, political stunt that has benefited nobody.
