E-Security Review Welcomed
Every day the Internet transforms lives. Social networking is revolutionising how we connect and learn from each other; blogging is invigorating traditional journalism and e-commerce is giving small entrepreneurs access to global markets. Even more dynamic changes will be seen in the years ahead - advances in medicine that create real-time monitoring and diagnostics, virtual worlds of work that save on transport and energy and new service relationships between citizens and their Governments. Unfortunately, the same Internet that creates possibilities in our lives also creates new opportunities for criminals. Two recent events suggested to me that it was time to say something about identity theft and on-line fraud. The first occurred just over a week ago when a senior federal politician approached me to let me know that “half a billion spam messages were being sent on the internet and it was Microsoft’s fault” While taken aback a little at this challenge I recognised the concern the MP was expressing and was grateful that filtering technology had at least not allowed those messages to get to their targets. Then this week the Federal Government announced a whole-of-government review of e-security. This is a timely announcement and while I have been ...

The shrinking personal computer
It's been one of those introspective periods at Bleeding Edge … a period in which we have been wondering just where the concept of a personal computer might be taking us. This column was founded on the personal computer, and it's been our business, over the past couple of decades, to try to keep track of the things. In the old days, we knew what a personal computer was. It was a large box that sat on or under your desk. It had a big screen. It emitted a background hum. Periodically it crashed, and occasionally ate your data, as often as not due to the engineering genius of Microsoft. Over the years we've accommodated the changing role of the personal computer – the way it moved from being something that one used for office activities to something that handled our email, hooked us up to the internet, became the instrument for our banking and an increasing proportion of our shopping, insinuated itself into our lounge room, firstly by becoming our music library, then our TV receiver and recorder, and more recently even served as our personal telephone exchange. Over that time the operating system has evolved, although it continues ...

ASUS LCD pixel policy a dud?
At Melb PC's monthly meeting at Melbourne Uni tonight, Barry Martin spoke about a client who'd bought a 24-inch ASUS LCD screen, only to discover a dead pixel right in the middle of the screen. It was a black pixel, which in a Word document looked exactly like a full stop ... hence extremely irritating. So, given he'd identified the problem within days of purchase, you'd expect the user could have had the screen exchanged under ASUS' dead pixel policy . Alas, no. ASUS' warranty only covers bright pixels. If you've got a black one, you're out of luck. So we've struck ASUS off our list of LCD suppliers, just as we've stopped recommending their DVD drives (no support for what appear to be defects that are by no means isolated). While we still like the Eee PC, we're rapidly getting disillusioned with ASUS. Given their reputation for producing high-quality motherboards, this sort of treatment of customers is, to say the least, disappointing.

Why can’t Linux beat Windows?
OK Geeks, I have a question for you. Tell me where my reasoning is wrong. Linux is in many respects a superior operating system to Windows, and seems to work perfectly well for people who know what they’re doing as a desktop operating system. The runaway success of products like the ASUS Eee PC shows that Linux [...]

Giving Ubuntu a spin (with less risk)
Updated: 28th June 2008 I've noticed several forum members who are primarily Windows XP, wanting to try out Ubuntu. Nice to hear about your initiatives and get up and go, but please, consider less risky ventures than the classic dual boot. Sometimes you may find your keyboard does not respond to the GRUB menu , or that you have accidentally let Ubuntu wipe out your Windows System Volume . When you dual boot, you intend to install a boot choice when the PC starts. This is what you intend but a slip of reasoning or of the finger could cause Linux to hijack your Windows PC. Here are some alternative options to test driving Linux. Run a Live CD. Ubuntu, Knoppix, SUSE, Puppy, all have Live CD functionality. You can boot the CD (make sure your optical drive is first in boot sequence in your BIOS), play for ages without tampering your Windows partitions or system. The downside is that performance is sluggish and many things won't "save". With some of them, like Puppy, you can save your session activity to a USB Flash storage stick. Or if you really play a bit, you could run these Linuxes off a ...
