Review: 2009 13" MacBook Air
Thursday, November 12 2009 @ 10:47 AM ET | Article Link
The MacBook Air is currently Apple's answer to the netbook and other subportables. With sufficient power and minimal features, it accomplishes most of what is expected from a basic laptop. It's largely wireless, very portable, stylish, and a willing companion for road warriors. Compared to PC netbooks, you get a small and very thin companion but with a real display, real keyboard, and real trackpad. Read More...

Review - Photoshop Elements 8.0
Wednesday, November 11 2009 @ 9:14 AM ET | Article Link
by Charles W. Moore

About a month ago, I posted here a first look profile of Photoshop Elements 3.0. I wanted to spend some time with the program before writing a full review, and in the meantime I’ve continued using it. Nothing I’ve encountered with this new version has changed my opinion that Photoshop Elements is really in a class by itself in terms of consumer-level image editing programs. There are some quite decent challengers being developed-- Pixelmator being the most impressive IMHO -- Flying Meat’s Acorn is coming along nicely as well, and Ohana Software’s entry Funtastic Photos has the advantages of being different and very user-friendly, but nothing else is yet even in the same neighborhood compared to what Elements offers in a package that is concededly somewhat more expensive, but unless your image editing needs are relatively modest, I think the extra cost is more than justified.
