QNAP TS-509 Pro

The QNAP TS-509 Pro comes highly recommended — it's a flexible NAS with an interface that's gaining usability as time goes on.
Netgear ReadyNAS Pro

With the ReadyNAS Pro, Netgear has proven it's still king of the hill. However, some interface quirks, inelegant recovery from catastrophic volume failure, and poor volume, user and share management may put some users off.
ColorMunki Photo

Despite the frustrating set-up process, ColorMunki does deliver on its premise of being an effective colour management tool for photographers.
evMe

The day when we whirr around silently in our electric cars is closer than we think, if the evMe is any indication. All that's needed is for battery prices to collapse, or a sweet boatload of Kevin07 cash.
Netgear Space-Saving Powerline Network Kit

Netgear's Space-Saving Powerline Network Kit has some good ideas, some bad. On the performance front though, if you absolutely need homeplugs, we'd suggest spending more for the higher rated 200Mbps plugs.
HP Officejet Pro L7590

While it may seem like an ideal office multifunction printer on specs alone, the L7590 has its fair share of problems. Variable print quality and its sheer size do a lot to offset the speed and versatility to be found within.
PLX Kiwi

While the PLX Kiwi is a good training tool to help motorists to drive more efficiently, it will not miraculously boost your fuel economy.
NetComm ADSL2+ Wireless Router (NB6Plus4W)

NetComm's NB6Plus4W offers good short range performance and management tools for a very reasonable price.

Mercedes-Benz F-Cell caught in the wild

While CNET Car Tech in the US was out testing the Aston Martin DB9 Volante in the Santa Cruz mountains recently, we ran across the car's antithesis, a Mercedes-Benz F-Cell research car.
