Video has been a perk packed with digital point-and-shoot still cameras for some time, but judging by the quality present in many offerings, it's a perk that has been treated as an afterthought by many digicam makers. Not so by Kodak. The chief of film stock -- now remaking itself as a dean of digit...
When it comes to slim and sleek in digital cameras, Casio is king. One of its latest offerings, the Exilim S880, illustrates why. Not only does the new 8.1 megapixel bytecam sport the Twiggy proportions that Casio is known for -- it measures 3.72 by 2.38 by .68 inches and weighs a feathery 4.51 ounc...
Avid Technology has long had a sterling reputation among video professionals for its editing systems. However, while widely respected with the pro set, its consumer offerings have been at worst ornery and at best, disappointing. Then the company acquired Pinnacle.

Although I'm a hopelessly U.S.-centric person, I still find it engaging from time to time to gauge the opinions of those outside Uncle Sam's borders about what they consider stellar products. One indicator of those opinions is awards like those bestowed in August by the European Imaging and Sound As...

When ripping and playing digitized music was a novelty, media players basked in the hot software limelight. There were articles about the merits of one over another, about "wars" among vendors and lots of noise when a new version of a player arrived in the market. Today, though, new releases of medi...
Mind mapping, for the uninitiated, is a visual method for organizing ideas -- a sort of project management tool for the mind. It often involves lots of thoughts in "bubbles" connected by lines. The language used to describe the elements of a mind map parallels that used by software outliners, except...
Portable hard disk drives aren't the sexiest computer peripherals in the world. They're pretty much a small box with an LED or two on them. Most disk makers have been content staying inside that box when they design their drives, but not SimpleTech. The company, which was purchased in February by Fa...
We live in an a golden age for portable gizmos. Wherever we go we can take our computers, telephones, personal organizer, digital cameras, video camcorders and satellite radios with us. However, along with those gadgets, we also take along -- if we're away from an electrical outlet for any length of...
