18.10.2009 My Office 12 Review
A few weeks ago the Microsoft Office team worked hard to get Beta 1 out of the door to beta testers via Microsoft Beta. This build was quite successful in all products of Office.
Unfortunately, Microsoft Office ?12? does not come with a new product but the same products that have many changes will keep testers busy until Beta 2! During the Beta phase of Office 2003, Code-named ?Office 11? and referred to as NGO (Next Generation of Office), brought new applications to the table. These applications were InfoPath and OneNote.

14.1.2006 Microsoft Virtual Server 2005 Review
A Little History
Virtualization software is nothing new, and dates back quite some time. One of the most popular examples for the end user was Connectix Virtual PC for the Mac. Since there are a pretty huge number of programs that are only available on Windows, this created a strong market niche to let Mac users run Windows programs, even if at reduced speed.
Virtual PC for the Mac, rather than emulating Windows, emulated the x86 architecture and the requisite peripheral devices, such as a video and sound card. This meant that emulation could work quite flawlessly, but also that any user would need to purchase a copy of Windows as well and then install it onto the Virtual PC. Virtual PC was a success and Connectix later created a Windows version which let you run most x86 OSes ? something quite useful for developers, enthusiasts, and IT professionals.

23.9.2009 Full Review: Windows Vista December CTP
Love-him-hate-him Paul Thurrot has released a four part in-depth review of Vista's December CTP. "I think people are going to be surprised by how good the Windows Vista December 2005 Community Technical Preview (CTP, or build 5270) really is.
After years of painful delays and an uncertain couple of months since the last CTP, Microsoft shipped a near-feature-complete Vista build to testers this week, and the prognosis is extremely positive. From what I can see, Vista has turned the corner. The December CTP is an exciting release, stable and full of new features. In this review, I'll examine those new features, and the features that have changed since the previous CTP, build 5231"

21.5.20081up Pulls Neverwinter Nights 2 Review
Seems the overly negative
review of Neverwinter Nights 2
over at 1up didn't sit to
well with the members. But
that begs the question, why
pull a review because it was
negative? 1up says it was
because the review didn't
live up to their "editorial
standards" which can be taken
many ways. Was it because
everyone thought the review
was way, way to negative? Or
was it because 1up got hate
mail due to the negative
review? Who knows. All I know
is that 1up actually pulled a
review - which I don't think
I've ever seen happen before
with an online review from a
major gaming site. The
original review gave
Neverwinter Nights 2 a 5/10
score, and it was pretty
obvious the reviewer didn't
care for the D&D rules or
world. Plus, as has been said,
it was poorly written. Or was
it?
Did 1up do
the right thing by pulling the
review? Should the review have
not been pulled? What does
that say about a negative
reaction to a review in
general, if it is so negative
it might get pulled by the
company? What do you guys
think?

I stated in a past review that people prefer the Xbox 360 controller to the PS3's Dualshock. While this statement is controversial in regards to
the fact it will always be up for debate and comes down to personal preference, it appears yet another company that makes gaming peripherals agrees.
Presenting the PS3 Shadow Wireless Controller made by dreamGEAR. While the Shadow Wireless falls short of being a direct 360 controller clone, it is
without a doubt a great, albeit it pricey, alternative for those looking for a different controller to use with their PS3.

For as long as I can remember I've used laptops for my primary day-to-day work and most of my after-hours browsing and general use. I recently
replaced my 17" Dell notebook with a smaller 15.4" m1530 XPS (due to weight, and I no longer do any hardcore gaming on my laptop). I hadn't
given much thought about netbooks until we received a review sample of the Lenovo IdeaPad S10. I picked it up, and my first reaction was that it was
tiny compared to my m1530, and very light (about 2.5 pounds). My second thought was am I really going to get much use out of something this size?
