LaCie Sound2 Speakers

<img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/news/0911/laciesound2-review.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />design We�ll take a moment to restate our introduction: the Sound2 Speakers are attractive. From the correct angle, they look like nothing more than speaker cones; in actuality, that's exactly their nature. The pair almost exactly matches the shape of what's inside with at most two cables attached at the back. Volume is controlled on the back of the master speaker ......

<img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/reviews/sqlabs/sqlabsicon_story-gen.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />The scanning software for my multifunction printer lets me add each scanned page into a PDF document as I go, but it�s a one-shot deal. The pages are assembled in the order I scanned them, but if I�ve accidentally scanned an extra page or want to swap the order around, I have to start fresh from scratch. Forgot a page? Return to start. Do not pass Go. That�s where PDFGarden 3.1.0 ......

The chief addition here is an initial setup page that guides you through creating a virtual machine (VM) based on your goals, such as using your Boot Camp partition or ......

<img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/reviews/creaceed/creaceed_logo_story.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />Prizmo is the tidy little application you didn�t know you needed, because it ties together all the loose ends of an archivist�s dreams. No longer do you need a scanner and special character recognition software, because Prizmo scans your digital camera photos and processes your images to extract the text you need in Mac OS X 10.5.8 and later. Prizmo lets you shift easily between file formats and b ......

The solCHAT is very small, about the size of a business card, and less than 3/4 of an inch thick. It comes with a pair of mounting kits, so you can attach it to your car visor or windshield, and a USB charger. The USB charger connects to a computer or the inclu ......

<img align='left' src='http://photos.macnn.com/reviews/photoshopcom-story.jpg' border='0' width='176' height='120' />If you search Apple�s App Store, you�ll find over 75 pages of photography-related programs. To be honest roughly 20% of those don�t really have anything to do with photography, such as BabyBuilder Lite or 100 Hot Women. Of the remaining 80% about half of them are apps actually designed for editing photos and they range in price from free to $19.99. It�s a crowded category to say the least. ......

The almost-QWERTY slide-out keyboard is solid, large and comfortable, too. We found it easy to acclimate to typing text messages on the keyboard. The number pad ......

Samsung has made good use of the phone's size and centers it on just two but very important elements: a touchscreen and a large, backlit keypad. The 3.1-inch, 480x800 resolution screen is an AMOLED (active matrix organic light-emitting diode) display and easily on ......

For example, I need to submit a W-9 for a job I just took. The company emailed me a W-9 PDF and I asked me to fill it out, sign it, and FAX it back. Fax? Not so fast, I said to myself! I just launched PDFpen, added the required text, scanned in a copy of my sign ......

Overall, the build quality is superb, too, and we found the back panel hiding the battery to be quite sturdy, as are the covers over the expansion ports.

Where many over-ear headphones are built to call attention to themselves, these hide as much as possible; the microphone is completely out of sight, and even the status lights are hidden on the inside of the band. Unless your hair is light-colored, it's entirely possible t ......

But it's here that the new Zune potentially has the edge over the iPod as a TV-friendly interface and features transform its role entirely. Our review takes a tour around the dock to see if it's worth the effort. what's in the box, ......

We need to keep our fingers on a dumpster load of passwords, credit card numbers, bank account PINs, and other dataphernalia, but can't always keep them in our minds. That's why it makes sense to have a central, secure place to store that stuff, a place like a password manager. A good manager should allow y ......
