When it comes to software, there are two schools of thought about tackling a basket of tasks. You can try attacking each task separately with an individual application, or you can look for a Swiss Army knife software suite to mount a unified assault on them. If the all-in-one approach appeals to you...
Remember the effort it took to put together a photo slideshow? First, you had to load slides into carousels. "Now let me see, should the printing on the slide face me or face away from me? How did that slide get in there upside down? Now it's time to lug the projection screen from the closet." That ...
Sony built its reputation in the electronics field on the premium thesis. Sure, there may be lower priced competitors in the market, but they couldn't beat Sony for quality, design and sheer wow factor. Consumers recognized that, and they have been willing to pay a premium for it. With Sony's new "W...
Everywhere you turn these days in the digital world you'll run into touts about sharing. Share files. Share photos. Share video. That's fine, but someone forgot to tell the e-mail providers about this sharing craze. They're still putting limits on attachments to e-mail messages that put a grave crim...
While I must confess I've never been a fan of online backup solutions, there was something about Mozy that tempted me to use it. Mozy is one of those new breed applications mushrooming under the umbrella Web 2.0, or the New Web. What's Web 2.0? Best I can tell, it's, in part, about creating a deskto...

As Windows computers get long in the tooth, they require special attention to keep running at an optimal level. Hard disks and registries need to be cleaned and defragmented. Settings need to be tweaked. All those things can be done manually, or individual programs can be obtained to make the tasks ...
One nice thing about this job is that tons of products get sent to me throughout the year. Some of these things are really cool, and some probably aren't worth the postage it took to send them. With college and high school graduation season in full swing and Father's Day on the horizon, I thought I'...
Small may be snazzy when it comes to gadgets, but for displays, bigger is better, especially when it comes to digital cameras. Those two-inch LCDs that used to be considered spacious now seem like postage stamps compared to the three- and 3.5-inch murals adorning the latest gallery of byte shooters ...
For heavy duty imaging work on a PC, there are some very powerful programs on the market. My application of choice is Corel Paint Shop Pro, primarily because I've been using it for years and have become comfortable with its interface. That's not to say its competitors -- like Ulead PhotoImpact and A...
There's a good reason why Hewlett-Packard notebook computers have become so popular with consumers. They give you a lot for your money. Consider HP's latest media center locomotive, the dv8000. For around US$1200, you get a monster notebook with a 17-inch display, a state-of-the-art AMD Turion 64 pr...
If there's one software category that program makers never tire of taking a crack at it's registry cleaners. As many Microsoft Windows users know, the registry is a database of all the settings on a PC. It's one of the most crucial components of the operating system, and it's always a mess. Any time...
CyberLink may not be a household name among PC users, but the feisty company makes some robust entertainment software for producing and watching DVDs as well as editing video. Certainly, the Taiwanese enterprise has a tough row to hoe, pitted as it is against the likes of Sonic/Roxio, Pinnacle and U...
So you say you want to share slideshows and videos on the Internet without a lot of rigmarole. Problem is, there's just so much noise in the media sharing space, you just don't know where to turn. Well, two well-known Net players have an end-to-end solution for you -- if you're willing to pay a heft...
As a legendary poet-songster once insightfully intoned, you don't need a weatherman to know which way the wind blows, but it helps if you have an Oregon Scientific regional weather station. The Tualatin, Oregon-based company pulled the wraps off its latest meteorological information center in Januar...
