- Last year, Australians spent a grand total of $1.161 billion on video games. While that might sound impressive, it was actually a 23 per cent contraction compared to 2011. The decline in sales has been blamed on a number of factors, including the winding down of the current console cycle as consumers await the next generation of machines.
- Dropbox has announced new admin console and sharing controls for Teams in a bid to make its cloud storage platform more business friendly. New improvements for admins include overhauled sharing controls, the ability to view recent activity, web sessions and third party applications for each team member, and two-step verification requests.
