Sunbelt Software’s VIPRE – I’ve finally found an antivirus package that delivers the goods.

Why build a new PC when, with a few easy upgrades, you can transform your old PC into one that feels like new (or at least newer!)?

One thing that’s become clear to me from comments and emails that I receive is that readers want me to strike a balance between high-end stuff and the more affordable lower-end solutions. Today I’m going to outline a high-quality yet affordable PC that’s up to the job of handling Blu-ray.

OK, it’s time once again for The Hardware 2.0 “Best Kit List” for Aug/Sep 08. Here I’ve put together a list of the best high-end and mid-range components currently available, with some decent budget parts listed too, along with a few honorable mentions. So if you’re thinking of buying, building or even upgrading a PC, this list is a must-read for you!

Ever since reading David Pogue’s review of iPhone 3G I’ve been puzzling over something he said in relation to the GPS receiver. Specifically, is it too small in the antenna department to be any good?

Following a technical stumble which allowed AMD to gain a lead, Intel has now released the long awaited Centrino 2 notebook platform.

iPod touch 2.0 installation walkthrough

Apple has made available for download iTunes 7.7 ahead of the release of the iPhone 3G and the iPhone 2.0/iPod touch 2.9 software update, due tomorrow. So what’s new here?

When I read about a new release of TrueCrypt, and found out that using this software you could essentially have a hidden OS and a visible OS both on the same PC, I was intrigued. Intrigued enough to take a look …

On Saturday the first alpha release of Ubuntu 8.10 “Intrepid Ibex” was made available for download. So what’s new on the horizon for Ubuntu users?

OK, so over the past few months I’ve grown from being a Linux skeptic into being quite a Linux fan. I’ve still got lots to learn but it’s great having the ability to roll out a no-cost OS onto systems that don’t need to have Windows on them (I understand that not everyone reading this will need Linux, but I do …). That said, there are a few aspects of Linux that do annoy/frustrate/anger me/make me hulk out* (delete as overall mood dictates), and one of these aspects is so core to an OS that I’m surprised that it hasn’t been addressed already.

Not a single post I make about Ubuntu goes by without at least one of you making some comment about my distro of choice and suggesting that I try some other distro. Well, never let it be said that I don’t listen to you – so this week I decided to take openSUSE 11.0 for a spin.
