In a press release today, Sydney lawyer, music industry commentator, and academic, Alex Malik has revealed further evidence that the recording industry in Australia has little respect for their customers.
Jesse McCartney’s single, “Beautiful Soul”, is currently number one on the Australian single charts. Unfortunately the record label has discontinued production of the single. Now why […]

It was only a matter of time, but I for one didn’t realise it has already happened.

Camera phones outsold digital still cameras by almost 4 to 1, reaching just 68 million units globally in 2004. Sales grew 40 percent annually, from 49 million units in 2003.

Om Malik points to Strategy Analytics press release that carries […]

For me this podcast was the most difficult that I’ve done. Firstly, I was speaking with two living legends of the Blogosphere, David Weinberger and Kevin Werbach.

I mentioned a couple of days ago that Apple’s new Tiger OS is due at the end of the month. At the moment, I’m like TUAW, and am really looking forward to the release.

A couple of weeks ago I interviewed Xeni Jardin for The Gadget Show #6. She’s an amazing person, with so much to discuss. The 40 minute show just didn’t do her enough justice. Lucky for us The Los Angeles Times have a cracker of a story on Xeni’s life, which is archived here.

This weeks buzz has been all about Xbox 2, again. It seems, like last year’s “I love bees” viral marketing campaign, that they’ve started a new one. The new Our Colony “reality game” is being linked to the new XBox 2 game console, evidence coming from many quarters, but the most compelling being J Allard […]

Today’s show was a huge amount of fun. I rang a good friend of mine who moved from Perth back to Melbourne only a few months ago. His new job entails training people the technical details about an air traffic management system, so we spend a short while discussing the gadgets that they use and […]

Congratulations to Richard, Ken and Matt for winning the prize of an iPod & iTunes Garage book by Kirk McElhearn in the Gadget Show #7 competition.
