- Brother MFC-3360C
- The Brother MFC-3360c multifunction might be one of the least expensive multifunction printers to hit the market, but it's far from the best. Aesthetically speaking, the boxy shape and drab color can't keep up with its competitors' modern designs, and although the print quality improves from other Brother printers we've...

- Brother DCP 165C
- The Brother DCP-165C is the reason why people dread hitting the print button on their computers. During the testing process, we were derailed with hardware malfunctions and hiccups that left us shaking our heads in disdain. Although the $80 price tag is tempting, you'll immediately regret the purchase once you...

It limits the list of available charts to the useful ones, provides a simple new interface for selecting an appropriate chart, and adds three useful charts to Excel: dot plots, strip plots, and box plots.

- State of the enterprise tech economy
- Almost a month has passed since technology demand fell off dramatically; the stock markets tanked and worry about the credit crisis moved from Wall Street to Main Street to your company. Despite this perfect storm it's hard to generalize the enterprise technology economy. Simply put, it's not all gloom and...

- San Quentin prison: IT failure is life or death
- San Quentin prison, which holds California's most dangerous criminals, is a technology time capsule: Typewriters and dot-matrix printers are the norm. And this time warp is untenable because it's killing prisoners who get lost in a health care paper shuffle. The solution: An overhaul of the prison's information system where...

- Will open source be a victim in the Dot Bomb 2.0?
- In some ways Dot Bomb 2.0 has already begun. Google is down 27% since the start of the year. Once solid niches like consumer health are starting to falter. As Time-Warner set off Dot Bomb 1.0 by acquiring AOL, putting a cap on potential...

- Dell UltraSharp 2407WFP-HC (24-inch)
- Dell's UltraSharp 2407LCD-HC is basically the same 24-inch widescreen monitor that we reviewed from Dell a year ago, only with an improved range of displayable color. We called that old Dell display the best in its class. This new one earns similar admiration, although we found its image quality was...

- NEC Multisync LCD2470WNX (black)
- NEC markets the $820 MultiSync LCD2470WNX as a higher-end widescreen display for enterprise customers. That price tag puts it on a higher plane than many other 24-inch displays that usually run about $600. NEC explained to us that it's because this monitor has higher-end technology than the less-expensive LCDs, but...

- Vista puts Mac OS X font rendering to shame
- [Update 8/24/2007 - Some people are still going around accusing me of stacking the deck and fabricating evidence against Apple by disabling sub-pixel rendering on Mac OS X. It turns out that there is a problem with the default "automatic" font setting which is suppose to detect if the display is...

- Envision G918W1
- You'll find Envision's 19-inch wide-screen G918W1 LCD for sale only at Best Buy, generally around $219. At this price, we don't think it's worth it. In our tests, we found its image quality unimpressive and its display plagued by an irritating design quirk. It is HDCP compliant, however, and does...

- NEC Accusync LCD193WXM
- NEC's 19-inch Accusync LCD193WXM is a capable, workaday LCD. We tend to keep our expectations reasonable for displays in the $200 category, but the LC193WXM shined on our tests. Unlike this model, similar displays from Dell, HP, and Samsung offer HDCP-compliance for watching protected HD content. NEC's claims about...

- Canon PowerShot A570 IS
- As the least expensive Canon camera to include optical image stabilization, the PowerShot A570 IS will no doubt receive a lot of attention this year. Its 7.1 megapixel CCD sensor and 2.5-inch LCD aren't remarkable among the current crop of compacts, but its 4X optical zoom lens provides a bit...

- With prices continually dropping on 22-inch wide-screen monitors, they've hit the sweet spot where consumers are able to jump up to the bigger size without spending too much more. The HP w22 fits the trend, and while its $400 price tag isn't the cheapest we've seen, it's still very reasonable....
