Cinema Display: A match made in heaven

Photo by Stefan Rechsteiner
With the updated line of Apple notebooks, which both present a professional aesthetic, it was only suitable for the Cupertino company to design a corresponding display, that borrowed from their design, and, following with the themes introduced by the new models, dramatically simplified the formally cumbersome set-up for the user.
This ‘dream’ is [...]



CrossOver 7: Easy compatibility

Codeweavers‘ CrossOver product has filled the much-wanted “Run Windows apps for free” niche in the virtual machine market. The purchase of CrossOver, recently updated to version 7, was the only cost.
Many flocked to CrossOver as an alternative to the purchase of Parallels or Fusion, and the need to buy a Windows licence. However, the flaw [...]

Review: HP Pavilion dv3021tx (dv3000)

HP is on a winning streak with its consumer notebooks at the moment - its 14.1” Pavilion dv6000 Series models have proven to be real winners.  We haven’t heard much from the 13.3” and 15.4” front, so does HP’s neglect in these screen sizes mean that they’ve forgotten how to build a mainstream laptop?  HP’s [...]



Mobile Me: a breakthrough for consumers

Whilst it was actually announced before the iPhone 3G at Apple’s recent WWDC 2008 conference, the rebranded, revamped .Mac (dot Mac) service, Mobile Me, was, in my mind, not given enough coverage or credit from the big news blogs - even some of the bigger name Apple news sources.
What is Mobile Me, anyway?
Mobile Me represents [...]



Live Mesh: the most useful tech from Microsoft in years

Like many aspiring technology departments, the innovative Windows Live section of the empire that is Microsoft has a ‘Labs’ section for its emerging, yet buggy technologies.

Office 2008 for Mac: not worth your money

When first buying my Mac, I was still something of an Apple beginner. So Microsoft Office for Mac (2004 at that stage) looked very enticing. Pity it was only designed for PowerPC processors, and therefore had to run through Rosetta, the Apple technology that ‘translated’ PowerPC-native apps into something an Intel processor could read. And [...]
