Heaven forbid that PCs running old versions of Microsoft Windows operating systems should be phased out, or prevented from accessing the Internet! What would the spies, spooks, hackers, malware writers, spammers, security software companies and IT…

The IT industry is a fascinating beast chock full of logical contradictions. Take these two points for example. Point 1 : the vast majority of consumers and commentators in the IT industry seem to have the belief that "cheap is better, and free is…

I think this sort of competition is an excellent idea. It may get people who would normally use these exploits to steal money and identities from a trusting browser user, to use their undoubted skills to expose these exploits publicly. I would act…

After I installed the 10.10.1 Yosemite update on a brand new iMac, I started getting beachballs during basic Finder operations, and that is on a machine with 16GB memory! The beachballs disappeared immediately I quit DropBox. I do not know the cau…

One of the great benefits of the iPad is that it makes computers accessible to a vast number of people who were excluded by the complexity of the types of hardware and software developed to suit only the needs of business and IT professionals, and a…

I wonder how Google are going at preventing malware authors and their criminal customers from taking advantage of the design flaws in various Android OS releases?
-
How terrible for Apple to cut the malware authors out of their ever growing profit stream. Surely Google, Microsoft and Samsung should take them to court for restriction of trade on behalf of their silent business partners!

I think this is one of the most significant announcements by Apple is recent years. Although C-variants including Obj-C, are powerful in the right hands, they are just 2nd generation languages in the sense that we used to refer to Fortran and Cobol …

This article makes a lot of sense. One might expect Apple to come up with a similar strategy if it was in Samsung's shoes. And we can see Apple still trying to free itself from corporate and technological dependencies that it sees as limiting its a…

When will the IT industry gurus understand that price is not the determining factor driving sales of Apple products. It is product quality, and the quality and depth of the Apple ecosystem experience that drives Apple product sales. Far too many so…

What should have been done with Microsoft/Windows years ago, and what should be done with Google/Android now, is for a consortium of people and organisations who suffer losses as a result of malware-based crimes, to mount a massive class action agai…

I have absolutely no reason to believe that Apple did anything illegal in Australia, but what it has done is certainly not ethical. Nor is it good business practice because it risks a consumer and government backlash in many countries, particularly …

Oh dear, oh dear! Some poor little rich boys think it is time to sell Apple shares and buy what ... Microsoft shares or Samsung shares? Let's hope Apple just ignore these parasites and keeps concentrating on what real CUSTOMERS think, and keep drivi…

But this sort of deluded criticism of Apple has been going on in the IT industry for the past 30 years. Some people never ever learn from their errors. We see exactly the same crap coming from so-called IT 'experts' (aka drips-under-pressure), who …

Oh dear, oh dear. What a bunch of losers Apple customers are! Why, oh why, do they insist on buying simple software that is designed for use by 'real people', not IT professionals with years of experience negotiating the intricacies and complexiti…
