    Blog: RIM BlackBerry Bold, Apple iPhone: Who's Beating Who to the 3G Punch? 27 June, 2008 14:45:55

    Last month CIO.com sister publication PCWorld.com posted an article entitled "BlackBerry Bold Beats iPhone to the 3G Punch." The story was written to announce the official unveiling of RIM's latest-and greatest to date-BlackBerry smartphone, but it rubbed me the wrong way from the start.

    How to succeed in the high-tech boys' club 26 March, 2008 09:37:20

    My, how times have changed: A woman, Hillary Clinton, is a serious contender to be the next US president.

    California city rebuilds network using open-source apps 05 December, 2007 07:12:30

    When the city of Madera, California, needed a new voice system, it turned to open-source technology -- not just for the IP telephony but for an entire network-infrastructure overhaul and loads of other functions. All the renovations cost less than half the estimated price of deploying a commercial voice over IP VoIP system alone. This smart, budget-wise use of open source across the network wins the city a 2007 Enterprise All-Star Award.

    Blog: Broadcom "3G Phone on a Chip" to Bring Cheaper, Sleeker 3G Mobile Devices 17 October, 2007 12:28:00

    I've reviewed various mobile devices for CIO.com in past, and the majority of the smartphones I evaluated did not support third generation, or 3G, mobile networks. This is one of the first things I, or the CIO reviewers I worked along with, complained about-though we weren't always sure what exactly we'd do with the extra speed.

2008 CIO Summit

19th August, 2008 Four Seasons Hotel, Sydney Developed in partnership with CIO Magazine, IDC, INTEP and the CIO Executive Council.

Every year the CIO Summit identifies what is top of mind for CIOs across Australia and New Zealand, and offers insight for CIO benchmarking and vendor strategic planning alike.

Recent IDC research shows that over 59% of CIO's believe that 'to achieve their business strategies, technology should be used more aggressively than today.'

Join us on August 19th to discover how this is possible with the latest technologies including Virtualisation, Web 2.0, IP Surveillance and Software as a Service (Saas).

    Selling zero-day exploits has a down side 07 July, 2008 10:16:36

    There is an ongoing argument about the ethics of selling 0-day exploits on the open market: It helps if you don't sell exploits targeting the company you work for.
    Information Security can sometimes be a funny field to work in. Some days it seems as if anybody with their hands on unpublished exploit code can sell it for all they're worth, and others it seems that they are set to become the target of law enforcement and the companies the code affects. It does help if you don't work for one of the companies that is set to be affected by the exploits you are trying to sell and aren't trying to bootstrap a competing company in the process.
