Autograph Makes The Pogo Stylus Useful
Hahaha! Did you laugh at the unfortunate Pogo Stylus accessory for the iPhone too? Well, Ten One, the guys behind the ridiculous peripheral probably heard it.

OS X Snow Leopard Review: Amazing Changes Under The Surface
The OS X Snow Leopard doesn’t offer anything considerably substantial – at first glance. There are no new first-party software installed and no major interface changes. In fact, it’s almost the same exact system as the Leopard, except with all the default applications running considerably faster. From opening files to running web apps on Safari [...]
Corel Home Office: The Perfect Office Suite For Netbooks
Is there really a market for an alternative to Microsoft Office? Corel thinks so. To make sure you get the message, the UI of their Corel Home Office mirrors MS Office 2007. That should work.

Magix Movie Edit Pro 15 Review: Average Video Editor, Unique Multicam Editing
While Movie Edit Pro 15 isn’t the best video editor around, it brings one feature to the table that nothing else in the market can match – two-camera multicam editing.

Firefox 3.5 Review: The Need For Speed
I had high hopes for the release of Firefox 3.5. Easily the most extensible browser with an innumerable number of add-ons available, it’s the one browser I always want to be using but often don’t simply because it’s not fast enough. For this latest iteration, the browser’s TraceMonkey JavaScript engine does make some inroads in [...]
