Reviews

  • Norton Internet Security 2008

    While Symantec's protection is solid, the overall user experience within Norton Internet Security 2008 could be much, much better. Not all the features work together and use fewer system resources.

  • Pioneer Dreamvision VIIV Media Centre Mini PC

    The Pioneer Dreamvision VIIV Media Centre is a flexible machine which can reasonably serve in a multitude of roles, but the word "compromise" springs to mind.

  • Apple Aperture 1.5

    This raw work-flow application isn't the Holy Grail many hoped it would be, but Apple Aperture 1.5 could make life easier for photographers who need to cull, retouch, and output large numbers of photographs quickly and efficiently.

  • Trend Micro PC-cillin Internet Security 2007
