You don't always need an expensive professional dSLR to capture awe-inspiring images. Sometimes, a basic Canon A470 point and shoot, a little ingenuity, and a beer cooler are all you need.

Reviews

  • Tiger Woods PGA Tour 10

    Tiger Woods 10 for the Wii is as close as you can get to a golf course without paying green fees.

  • MSI Wind U115 Hybrid

    The Wind is still one of the better 10-inch laptops in the mix, although due to its substandard trackpad and high price, we'd suggest the HP Mini 2140 or Asus Eee PC 1000HE would be a better choice.

  • ASUS U2E

    The Asus U2E is a fantastic laptop. It's far slower than rivals such as the Sony Vaio TZ series or MacBook Air, but it's stylish, feature-rich and in many ways more desirable than many of the alternatives.

  • AVG Internet Security 8.0

    AVG Internet Security 8.0 provides strong protection against malicious Web sites, but its full-system scans sometimes tax system resources and produce false positives.

  • Norton 360

    For home and student use, we think Norton 360 represents the best value for ease of use, tools offered, and overall system performance.

  • Norton Internet Security 2007

    Norton Internet Security 2007 makes significant gains over last year, including cutting-edge rootkit and behavioural monitoring features found nowhere else, but the overall package could be serious overkill for the average desktop owner.

  • McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007

    Despite the interface redesign, the McAfee Internet Security Suite 2007 feels like a grab bag of security and system performance tools. It'll keep your PC safe, but we think there are other products on the market that do so with greater ease.

  • McAfee Total Protection 2007

    McAfee Total Protection 2007 does what it says on the label -- it protects your PC from all sorts of nasty attacks, albeit at a fairly high cost to your system performance, especially on older PCs.
