The program has consistently kept pace with the evolving needs of shutterbugs over the years and the latest "X3" ...
Digital cameras have been around for so long that for some shutter buffs, it's difficult to remember a time when they didn't exist. It's even more difficult to recall the days when a slide projector was a necessary accessory for an image-grabbing hobbyist. Projectors, though, may be poised for a com...
StarTech.com's new DisplayPort KVM Switch helped me solve a computing problem I did not realize I had. The company's KVM Switch provides direct connections to monitors and computers without using a converter. The DisplayPort KVM Switch let me control two DisplayPort-capable computers with a single k...
Using the latest version of the Opera Web Browser is like meeting up with an old friend and finding out he or she now has issues with the relationship. Opera 10.10 has several impressive new features, but a few glitches really limit the usefulness of this version. In fact, the only way for me to con...
"Avatar" could indeed light the way to fresh, uncharted territory for filmmaking and entertainment thanks to its groundbreaking special effects and 3-D technologies -- but that's not necessarily a good thing. The best way to explain that is to go see writer-director James Cameron's new blockbuster i...
If you want to know why the netbook is headed to the endangered species list, take a look at Gateway's new ultraportable. The handsome offering with the bland designation "EC 1437u" has power, performance and a small footprint, all for a very reasonable price of $549.99. When the notebook is pulled ...

Up to now, if you wanted a smartphone with power and without complexity, the only orchard you could go to was Apple's. With the arrival of the Motorola Droid, though, that's changed. The Droid uses Google's Android operating system. It's not as slick as the OS in Apple's iPhone, but it's still a bre...
Let's put this simply: If you want to stream free, professional videos online, Clicker makes finding the video easier than most other solutions I've seen. In fact, it's one of the few online television and video search guides that I've felt compelled to create an account with. Why? Easy. It targets ...
The scales of justice definitely don't tip in grayscale's favor when it comes to the overall e-reader device experience for consumers. Whether it's an Amazon Kindle, Sony Reader or Barnes & Noble Nook, 16-level grayscale means nothing more than a digital version of the weather in Seattle between...
Business users whose lives revolve around their mobile phones won't be disappointed with Samsung's Intrepid smartphone. The handset, which uses Sprint's 3G network domestically and also connects to 3G networks abroad, is packed with features aimed at the pinstripe crowd. Intrepid runs under the lat...
Windows 7 is on my wish list. I wish Microsoft didn't raise the equipment ante required to run its new operating system. I wish Microsoft built in an easy upgrade path from Windows XP. I wish Microsoft provided Windows 7 with some kind of Wow Factor that gave me a compelling reason to change my comp...
Is it damning with faint praise to say that Windows 7 is definitely not Windows Vista? Probably. After the misfire that was Microsoft's previous operating system, those words alone may be enough to push consumers off the computer-buying fence -- when you couple them with the bargain-basement deals t...
Five months of hype have roiled the waters for Google Wave. Is it an Outlook killer? The search giant's idea of a social network? One unified communications tool to rule us all? The buzz began at May's Google I/O Developer conference. Now, after much talk in the tech blogosphere and among analysts, ...
With high-definition video popping up everywhere, it's a wonder it has taken this long for the first 720p HD webcam to hit the market. It's Microsoft's LifeCam Cinema webcam, and not only is it a honey of a webcam, but at $79.95, it's nicely priced to boot. Installation of the camera requires three ...
