A government report has identified six disruptive tech trends to watch,noting that mobile messaging apps such as WhatsApp are killing traditional text messages while multi-screening is going mainstream.

A Perth app developer alleges Western Australia’s Department of Fisheries stole the idea behind his shark alert app.

It is widely recognised that Australia needs to train up a generation of tech-skilled entrepreneurs to prepare us for the future. Should Australians be doing more to teach kids how to code?

Matchmakers and hook-up apps beware: friendly cuddles from strangers could be the next big thing.

Startup Weekend Australia has launched a new national platform at an event held last Thursday at Sydney’s Tank Stream Labs.
