Adobe Systems created a media tsunami earlier this month when it released its Creative Suite 3, a two-year project designed to roll all the company's formidable software packages for creative types into an integrated monolith. Needless to say, since the package costs more than $1,000, it isn't somet...
We're all inundated with information every day, and we all have our strategies for dealing with that flood. A common tactic adopted by many of us is making lists. The problem with lists, though, is that they can be misplaced. That problem prompted two serial entrepreneurs, Joe Bergeron and Josh Wein...
With so much sizzle being created in the consumer electronics market by digital media players, it's tough for a traditional gadget like a digital voice recorder to grab much consumer mindshare. That hasn't stopped recorder makers like Olympus from continuing to introduce innovative and interesting p...
Personal Data Assistants have become dinosaurs, and after taking the Motorola Q for a test drive, it's easy to understand why. Just about anything you'd want to do with a PDA you can do with a smartphone like the Q -- and a lot more. The Q is about the size of a PDA -- 2.5 by 0.5 by 4.6 inches -- an...
Although digital still camera makers are making great strides in improving the video capabilities of their products, they still have some distance to go before they catch up with conventional camcorders. Sure, we'd all like to haul around less tech when documenting our lives, but for now, two camera...
There are two utilities that I've found essential in my day-to-day operations with Windows. One is a clipboard extender -- a program that archives anything cut or copied to the Windows clipboard. The other is a screen capture application. Screen capture programs allow you to create images from whate...
Although I may be unappreciative of the value of Post-it notes, I can appreciate the rationale behind them. That's why I can appreciate a program like NotesHolder by A!K Research Labs. NotesHolder reminds me of Google Notebook in a number of ways, but it has a few bells and whistles that make it a l...
Symantec's latest security suite, Norton 360, gives less-experienced consumers a fresh approach to hardening their computer security with a from-the-ground-up rebuild of its Norton Internet Security Suite into a product that offers anti-intrusion, PC optimization and backup modules. Norton 360 takes...
Of the three pillars of digital lifestyle applications -- video, photos and music -- music remains a bit of a mystery to many users. That's ironic because sharing digital music files was one of the first applications byte-stylers flocked to. However, while many users have graduated from merely shari...
Like many home keyboard jockeys, I view my wireless network as a black box. I set it up to share my broadband Internet connection. It does that. So I leave well enough alone. That doesn't mean, though, that my curiosity isn't aroused from time to time, and I feel an urge to poke around with the netw...
Giving digital images an artful twist isn't anything new in the computer world, but leave it to Alien Skin Software to take the technique to another level of elegance.

PC Guardian, a manufacturer of computer and data security products, has introduced a product line that puts a new twist on some old security issues involving physical computer theft and data loss through exposed USB devices.

With Apple grabbing all the headlines of late with its iPhone, it's difficult for other spiffy mobiles to garner any mindshare in the market. That's a shame because a recent offering by Samsung deserves some attention. The new cell phone -- Samsung's answer to Motorola's Razr -- is called the Sync (...
Some bloggers amaze me -- not by what they say, but by how much they say. It seems to me sometimes that a lot of these guys must be sitting in front of their keyboard 18 hours a day filling screen after screen with their prose. Maybe the moles of electrons they produce every day is better described...

As someone constantly installing and uninstalling software on their computer, as well as connecting and disconnec...
