ATO Tax Calculator to calculate income tax for 2012-2013

Posted on 21:06 by Unknown

I find in discussions a lot of people would like to know the tax on their income. It is not possible for me to provide tax related advice as you need to be a qualified tax professional to provide tax related advice. As a computer consultant however I’m able to use the information provided by the tax office on their web site and create a calculator others can use.

As well as a calculator for the 2012-2013 tax year, I’ve also written a calculator for the 2011-2012 tax year which recently ended. A link is provided to the prior year on the Tax Calculator.

Tax Calculator 2012-2013 ... Read More

Windows 8 Release date October 26th

Posted on 16:48 by Unknown
It's now official. The next version of Windows, Windows 8 will arrive on October 26th 2012.

If you're thinking of a new computer now is a good time to see if you can wait. Yes there will be a low priced upgrade if you buy now, but keep in mind there is time involved in installing the upgrade software.

Before rushing out and buying a new computer or the upgrade, keep in mind with every upgrade there are things which stop working, such as attached hardware. As an example it took nearly a year before drivers were available for the very expensive HP 4700 colour laser with Vista.

The upgrade won't work with all Windows XP computers based on my testing of the Release Preview. Ten's of millions of Windows users will potentially be irate they can't upgrade their computer even though it is more than powerful enough to run Windows 8. To me Microsoft will alienate a lot of current users who will gladly move to a Mac or tablet as a sign of their annoyance.

For most users I'd suggest waiting until the hype dies down. I'll learn what works and what doesn't work as I install and upgrade computers and this knowledge will assist other clients.

With the upgrade, if you have an older computer, see if you can get a test version first. The upgrade is only around $40, but if it doesn't work it's a waste of money. I hope Microsoft offers a money back guarantee, otherwise there could be a lot of complaints to consumer affairs.

Whilst there will be some negatives with the upgrade, there will be plenty of positives. Those with Vista should now have a cheap upgrade option to a faster operating system at last.
