Smartphones may be becoming slimmer and thinner, but the standard physical size of a smartphone is rising. This doesn't help when you’re attempting to grab your phone out of your pocket just for some pesky notification, so in an attempt to save precious seconds of your life, and due to the lowered cost of displays, ‘smart watches’ are becoming a trendy time-saving tool for many time-conscious consumers. Again.
You might not have had a smart watch back in the 1970s, but ...

You might not know of him, but without his invention, you wouldn’t be reading this sentence at this very moment. Sir Timothy Berners-Lee, a British computer scientist and creator of the World Wide Web, visited Griffith University over last weekend for a guest lecture. Team iOnline tagged along to this event for a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
It was Tim’s first visit in 15 years to Australia and the night at Griffith University was the only stop of his visit in Queensland,...

The future is upon us! Google, who you’d likely know is a search engine, already sells phones with their Android software on it, maps the globe, sells advertising services and is even attempting to make self-driving cars - and now they’re heading into the augmented reality realm.
Project Glass, or more commonly known as Google Glass, aims to provide users with a handsfree head-worn display that works much like a smartphone. The interface is controlled through voice actions and...

It’s hard to believe it’s been almost two years since Google’s latest endeavour into social networks, Google+, launched, and although the figure falls short of Facebook’s interminable 1 billion-plus users, it’s even harder to believe that Google+ has 500 million registered members, making it the world’s second most popular social network.
Google+ was launched invite-only to an overly “insane demand” audience in June 2011, which luckily, a few...

Facebook’s search functionality has always been a bit lacking. If you need to find a photo of you and your brother from 2010, what bands your friends listen to, or perhaps even what restaurants your friends have been to around the Gold Coast, it’s always involved a bit of searching and technical expertise. Luckily, Facebook hopes to make life easier with the introduction of Facebook’s ‘Graph Search’ feature.
In mid 2010, Facebook introduced the ‘Graph...

We here at the iOnline offices are feeling a lot more furry and fuzzy than we were at the start of November with the conclusion of charity event Movember. Starting fresh, youthful and baby-faced, each male staff member slowly-but-surely grew, combed and maintained a respectable moustache in the hopes of raising money for charities beyondblue and the Prostate Cancer Foundation of Australia.
The hard task of growing facial hair has worked as we’ve raised almost $800 with the power of...

On the 23rd January 2012, a new network of websites for James Frizelle's Automotive Group, a well-known car dealer with multiple stores located around the Gold Coast and Northern NSW was launched by iOnline.
This new network features 16 sites, which were all previously independent, making it difficult to keep them uniform in appearance and their content up to date. iOnline was commissioned to put a single overarching content management system into place and to unify the layouts of all...

Are you currently the market for a tablet computer? Although the market has had a major shakeup as of late, now is likely the best time ever to get your hands on one of these sleek devices for personal and business purposes. Let’s have a quick run-down on what exactly has happened in the last few weeks:
Let’s first go to Cupertino, California to the offices of Apple. Shortly after releasing the much anticipated iPhone 5, Apple held yet another event to release a few new shiny...

Service-based businesses have long been dreaming of a simple, intuitive, and streamlined way to create proposals, manage deals and automate follow-up activity to avoid opportunities and relationships slipping through the cracks. Many customer relationship management (CRM) systems have attempted to fill this void, though most are too bloated, too difficult to use or too inflexible to suit the particular needs of small, nimble, responsive companies. These service-based businesses have thus been ...

Gentlemen, put down your razors and shavers, remove all traces of shaving cream from your face, and place all facial-hair removing devices back into the medicine cabinet, because it’s time to grow that upper lip hair. That’s right, Movember is back bigger, bushier and better than ever. And, for the first time in years, the iOnline offices are again partaking in this divine test of manliness.
Here’s a run-down of the event we call Movember:
Man as we know it have been...
