    Out with the old, in with the new

    Outlook, Marius Murdoch, Published on 14/01/2010

    » It might seem like the ancient past, but it wasn't so long ago that we lived in the dark ages of dial-up internet, floppy disks, pagers and fax machines. Luckily these old-hats died with dignity, and while we may miss the harrowing screams of connecting modems, good riddance to bad rubbish. But other technologies seem insistent on carrying on, despite smarter and more accessible alternatives gaining saliency in the new decade. What looked to be consumer mainstays seem poised for poor performance and obsolescence this year. Here's a list of some of the stale technologies of 2010.

    Already looking to the next Apple news

    Database, James Hein, Published on 17/02/2010

    » Seems the feedback for the iPad has been a bit lukewarm. Some have described it as ''an iPhone having a mid-life crisis''. It is like the iPhone but without multitasking, no Flash and no wide screen video playback capability. The iPhone itself is still dong well but the new unit didn't live up to expectations. Some of the problem is the responsibilities Apple has. They need to keep their developers happy to minimise app rewriting. Then there are the shareholders who expect customers to be locked into the iTunes store for everything, hence there is no Flash and you will not be able to play Evony or Farmville on your iPad.

    Back to the future

    Database, Published on 31/03/2010

    » Don't panic, announced Prime Minister Abhisit Vejjajiva, but in the next 60 days the government will "create a level playing field" for telecom companies and probably try to extract truckloads of money and turn back the clock on concessions granted by the state duopoly; Mr Abhisit continued to maintain that telecoms firms (translation: one telecoms firm) made money from changes during the Thaksin Shinawatra years; he said he wants to "unwind the concessions," go back to the future and probably send a huge bill to Advanced Info Service of Shingapore; Mr Abhisit said he envisioned one big concession contract covering all telecoms firms and saving the bacon of your slowly dying ToT and CAT Telecom. Wichian Mektrakarn, CEO of No 1 yuppiephone firm Advanced Info Service of Shingapore, explained that if Mr Abhisit succeeds in unravelling all concessions contracts and reverting to the early 1990s when they started to come into being, "the whole system will collapse." Finance Minister Korn Chatikavanij seemed to contradict the prime minister; he told Hong Kong businessmen it is "unlikely" the government will try to extract retroactive concessions payments.

    Disk contents and some OS X users' pitfalls

    » For those new to OS X and Macs, the experience may be like walking into a dimly lit room. You can make out shapes of important furniture, but you may walk into smaller items. As the eyes adjust to the light, working becomes easier, and when the sun rises, the first rays make everything much clearer.

    » These blasted machines are out to get us. But so are some of the programmers, and I don’t mean the hackers, either. Some of the most insidious attacks on our computers come from companies which claim to be responsible, don’t do any evil, etc.
