HP's 2133 Mini-Note PC: Three Pounds Of Portable Computing Power
HP 2133 Mini-Note PC
by Daniel P. Dern

Unveiled in April 2008, HP's new 2133 Mini-Note PC "ultraportable" notebook computer represents the company's latest effort to provide enough computer power to get many common tasks, e.g. Web stuff and email (which many people do as a Web task, anyway), done in a small -- three pounds, give or take a few ounces depending on which battery you use and what's affordable -- base prices of $499 to $749 -- package.

One of these is not like the other: RSA Keynote Close-up
Jeff Hawkins, Numenta
by Daniel Spisak

When one goes to a conference targeted at computer security professionals it stands to reason that one will hear a lot of keynote speeches about trends within the security industry and where it thinks it is going. At this years 2008 RSA Conference this trend held true with two notable exceptions. First was Al Gore's keynote on global warming and technology, which the press covering the show was banned from attending. The second was a far more interesting keynote given that had wide ranging implications and very little to do directly with computer security. Jeff Hawkins, the founder of Palm and Handspring and now founder & CEO of his newest company Numenta, gave that keynote. Image: Digitizing Neocortex E.Lilley

Iron Man: Best Movie Based On A Comic Book Ever
Iron Man
by Drew Bittner

There has been no shortage of superheroes on the big screen, but none have been better portrayed, nor dearer to our techno-sensibilities, than Iron Man. You may have wondered if a man in a powered exoskeleton was really newsworthy as a fictional character in an age when the real thing was currently undergoing trials (no flying yet though) but our reviewer assures us it's terrific. (Ed.)

ADOBE ELEMENTS 6 FOR MAC
Adobe Photoshop Elements 6 (Mac)
by David Em

Adobe's Photoshop Elements 6 for the Mac delivers EZ image editing, organization, and output at a very affordable price. After a two-year wait, Adobe has released Photoshop Elements 6 for the Mac, (jumping directly from version 4, skipping version 5 entirely). With this release, virtually every Adobe product with the exception of their Premiere Elements video editing software is now cross-platform.

Special Edition Using Microsoft Office Project 2007 (Special Edition)

by EJ McClure

Using Microsoft Office Project 2007 is a stand-out candidate in the crowded field of after-market manuals for Project 2007, the industry standard in project management software.

MS Office Project 2007 comes through with flying colors.
Microsoft Project Standard 2007
by EJ McClure

We subjected Microsoft Office Project 2007 to the rigors of a Project Management class this spring, and conclude that it passed with flying colors, as would be expected, given that Project has been the industry standard in project management software for the past two decades. That doesn't mean that knowing Project will make you a Project Manager, as any PM will assure you. Project is only a tool, and needs to be used wisely. That being said, it's a pretty good tool.

ISC and RSA: Two sides of the security story
ISC and RSA: Two sides of the security story
by Alex Pournelle

April delivered two of the major security industry shows: The International Security Conference (ISC) and the RSA Information Security Conference (RSA). Both deal with keeping the bad guys out and the good guys safe. Until recently, there's been little overlap: ISC covered physical security (fences, locks, badges) and RSA covered network security. This year showed convergence is coming to the security world, and IP (Internet Protocol) will rule them both.

RSA: It's a scary world out there
RSA 2008
by Alex Pournelle

RSA is the most businesslike of the major security shows, but it's also a week of brain-cramming. We spent our time running between classes, seminars, keynote speeches and the show floor by day, while evenings saw six or eight party/demos each. It's the most intense week of learning on my yearly calendar, allowing me to become buzzword-compliant with the latest in security scares. The good news is that a lot of smart people are working hard to protect us.

Cisco Networking Simplified (2nd Edition) (Networking Technology)

by Ernest Lilley

Networking simply isn't a simple affair, no matter how much you might like it to be. That being said, Cisco Networking Simplified (2nd Edition) goes about as far down that road as is humanly possible with page after page of clear drawings and lucid text. A great resource for anyone who finds that they suddenly have to come up to speed on networking from a pretty basic level.

Don't Throw Away That Legacy PS/2 Mouse & Keyboard Just Yet
Belkin USB to PS/2 Adapter #F5U119vE1
by Charles Mohapel

Don't throw away that legacy PS/2 mouse and keyboard just yet. If you like the way they feel and operate better than their newer counterparts, then maybe the Belkin USB to PS/2 Adapter is perfect for you.

It lets you link two PS/2 devices, such as a keyboard and mouse, to a single USB port on your computer. You can easily connect a full-size PS/2 keyboard and mouse to your notebook or desktop computer and a very handy feature is its ability to use two devices simultaneously. You can even plug and unplug devices without rebooting.

Tiny Travel Companion Packs a (USB) Charge
Belkin Mini Surge Protector with USB Charger - BZ103050-TVL
by Charles Mohapel

Are you tired of dragging around a big industrial-grade surge protector and a rat's nest of tangled adapters for your cell phone, MP3 player, etc.? If you are, Belkin may have the answer for you. Their Mini Surge Protector with USB Charger, # BZ103050-TVL, provides protection and power in a small package, allowing you to plug in up to 3 devices with grounded power plugs, as well as 2 devices that charge via a USB port, all simultaneously.

As Belkin is careful to point out, the USB outlets can't be used as a USB hub and don't transmit data, but they will power up your music or communications device if it recharges from a USB outlet.

Mint.com: An online money management alternative
Mint.com Personal Finance Website
by Alex Pournelle

While driving to CES this January, Alex Pournelle kept telling me about the great new financial Web site he'd discovered at Mint.com. Later that week we ran into the Mint founder and his crew at an off-site event, so I pointed Alex at them and told him to bring back an article. Alex tells us that Mint.com really is a refreshing money mint.

Powerful Money Management Tool, Accountant Not Included In Box
QuickBooks Pro 2008
by Jen McLeran

Does this new offering uphold QuickBooks' reputation as the top small-business accounting program? Jen McLeran, a professional architect who occasionally reviews business software for us dove in head first to find out. Her verdict: owning a chainsaw does not make you a lumberjack.

Earbud Dangles in Many Hues - And It Works Well, Too
Flamingo Headset (Deep Sea)
by EJ McClure

EJ McClure is a tough sell when it comes to earbuds. She doesn't much like the way they look, feel, or work. On the other hand, her favorite color is teal. Which was exactly why we thought she might like to try out the new Flamingo headset from Cellpoint. It comes in a range of colors from Stealth Black to Racing Red (with Paris Pink somewhere in the middle), and of course in Deep Sea Blue, which may not quite be teal, but it's not bad.

Is That A Bluetooth Keyboard In Your Pocket Or....
Eleksen Wireless Fabric Keyboard (V1.5)
by Daniel Spisak

Dan Spisak, our cellphone-crazed contributor, may be glad to see us ... but that really is a Bluetooth keyboard in his pocket. And not a folded-up clamshell keyboard to poke him and wear holes in his jeans, but a flexible fabric one he can take anywhere.
