Apple iTunes 11

CNET Rating7.9

User Rating5.5

December 12th, 2012 - iTunes 11 is a much-needed refresh, with a new interface and a useful MiniPlayer, but it's still a little complex for its own good. 3
Adobe Photoshop Elements 11

September 26th, 2012 - While there are a handful of new capabilities in the update to Adobe's entry-level image editor, the most noticeable is a more readable interface, intended for middle-aged eyes. 2

Microsoft Windows 8

CNET Rating8.0

User Rating5.0

August 20th, 2012 - Microsoft makes an aggressive, forward-thinking and bold statement for the future of PCs with Windows 8, and the vast security and speed improvements more than justify the US$40 upgrade price. 11
Chrome for iOS

CNET Rating8.0

User Rating1.0

July 2nd, 2012 - Chrome for iOS gives iPhone and iPad users a modicum of comfort in the isolated iOS world: a familiar interface, tabs and password syncing. But it's far from perfect. 3
Android Jelly Bean (4.1)

CNET Rating8.0

July 2nd, 2012 - You won't be left too far behind without it, but Android 4.1 Jelly Bean is a worthy update that brings improved voice search, notifications and sharing. 7
Pure Lounge

CNET Rating6.0

March 14th, 2012 - If you don't have a Pure radio with Flow technology, there is nothing to be gained from the Lounge that you can't find better implemented elsewhere. We can only hope that these issues have to do with it being an early build, and that a fix isn't far away.

December 14th, 2011 - While it may not be as fully fledged as its namesake, Photoshop Touch offers a robust editing experience for tablets. 2
Webroot SecureAnywhere Complete 2012

CNET Rating9.0

November 7th, 2011 - In a year of competitive overhauls, Webroot's SecureAnywhere stands out for being an entirely new program with the smallest installer around. Fast scans, a combo of competitive features and sharp performance make this the suite to watch in the coming year.
F-Secure Internet Security 2012

CNET Rating8.0

November 7th, 2011 - Following a banner year in 2011, the new F-Secure Internet Security 2012 doesn't introduce many new changes, but it does maintain many of the suite's high performance marks on both system impact and security.

User Rating9.0

November 7th, 2011 - An aggressive redesign aimed at making its best-known suite more accessible than before, Avira Free Antivirus 12 combines fast scans with above-average protection for a solid security combo. 2
