Canadian software house Corel seems to be stuck playing second-fiddle to its competitors to the south. In office apps, it shadows Microsoft. In illustration and photo editing, Adobe's number one. Though VideoStudio Pro X4 doesn't quite match our Editors' Choice, CyberLink PowerDirector 9 ($99.95, 4.5 stars) in the speed of some operations or number of tracks allowed, Corel can stand tall and proud: VideoStudio is...
GarageBand '11, the latest version of Apple's amateur musician software, builds on an already impressive, easy-to-use app, with more ways to help your band play better together, more amp and pedal styles, and better tools for teaching you how to play instruments. It was already a bargain as part of the $49 iLife 'll suite...
ife '11, the latest version of Apple's consumer media suite, includes several apps, but only the three tentpoles—Garageband, iMovie, and iPhoto—were updated for the 2011. Since the advent of the Mac App Store, those three apps are now available as standalone programs for the first time, at the incredible value price of $14.99. The suite comes free on new Macs, of course, and it's Mac-only. Though the equivalent suite...
For casual drawing on an iPad, Penultimate ($1, direct) is second to none. It's fast, friendly, flexible, and a bargain. If you've ever doodled in a notebook, using the app should be second nature. When it comes time to share, you can e-mail a sketch or an entire notebook without leaving the app, or pipe your pad through a projector for group collaboration. While the app's touch-based sophistication will no doubt impress consumers, but when paired...
Some might argue that the netbook's heyday is over, but there's still a growing number of them finding the market. In fact, we'd argue that the netbook may be on the rebound, thanks largely to AMD's Fusion platform. While Intel's Atom was revolutionary for its time, the chip never seemed to improve quickly enough. Even new Atom CPUs feel sluggish, and thanks to Fusion, Intel's in a spot now where they simply need to step up if they plan on matching...

Over the years, we have consistently been impressed by cutting-edge dual-GPU powered graphics cards, not only for their relatively high performance, but because of the engineering involved to design, build, and bring the cards to market, in form factors not much bigger than their high-end, single-GPU based counterparts. From the GeForce 7950GX2 to the GeForce GTX 295, or the Radeon HD 3870X2 to Radeon HD 6990, top of the line (for their time) dual-GPU...
Western Digital is first in the world to create a 2TB hard As they say, you can never have enough storage space. Somehow no matter how much space I have available it will get filled.

So not only do we want to store a lot of data, we also need to back it up. Today...

Today they seem to mix up gadgets with each other. Here we have a wireless router that is constructed as a vase. This gives it a “dual use”. Some of you might think this is a stupid combination and I agree to some degree. However if you want a wireless router that no one else have this could be a cool gadget.
The wireless router vase combines the technical with the esthetic and will make sure your guests will turn their heads. One problem...

1. Use One-Time passwords
Using Facebook on the go, such as in hotels, cafes or airports, jeopardizes your account's security, whether it's a public PC or wi-fi hacking that leaves you and your account vulnerable. To combat this, Facebook is offering one-time passwords if you're concerned about the security of the computer you're using.
To receive your one-time password, text "otp" to 32665 (FBOOK) on your mobile phone and you'll receive a password that can be used only once and expires in 20 minutes....
The latest Internet Explorer news is both good and bad for Microsoft. First, the good: IE9, the newest version of Redmond's browser, seems to be gaining favor with Web users. A post yesterday on Microsoft's Windows Blog cites usage-tracker Net Applications' latest browser statistics, which show IE9 with 3.56 percent of worldwide market share for March. For a browser that officially launched just over two weeks ago--albeit one that's been available in beta...
Burning questions: Will the ambitious privacy standard for Web surfers be effective? How will it work? What will it affect? And who should use it? Users concerned with online privacy have been struggling for years to come up with a solution to being tracked on the Web. Such users either want to avoid irritating, targeted ads based on browsing history or are concerned about businesses having too much access to our personal information. Historically,...
Google is the dominant force in EuropeSeznam—there is no other search engine which even comes close to Google’s market share. I think everybody will agree when I say that Europe could use some competition for Google. Bing should be the designated search engine to become that big competitor, but for now that is not the case. Even the recent launch of the “new” Bing in France and the years of Bing in the UK haven’t made most people switch away from Google.
But despite its dominance, there are alternative...
