VisualHub
Review

Watching videos on your computer, iPod, AppleTV, or any other device should be simple. Unfortunately, with so many choices in video format, watching videos can be a royal pain.

iChat Alternatives

So I’ve covered Safari alternatives and Thunderbird alternatives, so now it is time for iChat alternatives. These alternatives are chat clients that will communicate with iChat.

It’s nice to settle back down with something that’s familiar and doesn’t cause problems. While changes have been made, they’re good changes and one will readily adapt to them rather quickly.

Maxtor OneTouch III Mini 160GB
Review


USB-2 is not as fast as FireWire 400, and don’t let anybody convince you otherwise. When you need fastest possible movement of data, FW800 is the way to go. Under typical home or office circumstances, USB-2 is adequate.
