CloudOn Review: The Best Way of Getting MS Office on an Apple iPad?

21st February 2012 Cat: Notebook with Comments Off

  CloudOn’s iPad app — and the associated CloudOn.com web site — offer iPad users a somewhat watered-down version of the notebook/desktop PC user’s holy grail: access to Microsoft Office’s Word, Excel and PowerPoint applications. For many iPad owners, this might be good enough, but for others, perhaps not. One reason why many users hold [...]

Bob Bernick’s Notebook: Legislature Looking to Help Romney by Avoiding Controversy

18th February 2012 Cat: Notebook with Comments Off

slideshow I’ve written before about how relatively quiet the Utah Legislature’s 2012 general session has been so far – now a little more than halfway through. There are, I believe, several reasons for this – all 75 House members and half of the Senate are up for re-election this year and in newly redrawn districts [...]

IRL: Bowers & Wilkins P5 headphones, Speck SeeThru Satin and the Nokia N800

17th February 2012 Cat: Notebook with Comments Off

Welcome to IRL, an ongoing feature where we talk about the gadgets, apps and toys we’re using in real life and take a second look at products that already got the formal review treatment. Bowes Wilkins P5 headphones Time and time again, I find myself referencing Bowers Wilkins P5 headphones in reviews. Strangely, though, I’ve [...]

Asus Zenbook UX31 Review

16th February 2012 Cat: Notebook with Comments Off

The Asus UX31 sets the performance bar high for Ultrabooks, but doesn’t quite offer the solid feel you would expect of a notebook with its price. The UX31 is more than just a flagship in Asus’ notebook lineup; it’s a flagship among Ultrabooks in general. It was one of the first products to hit the [...]

Movie Review: "The Vow"

15th February 2012 Cat: Notebook with Comments Off

Grade: B “The Vow” has just enough sweetness to make it the must-see Valentine’s Day movie. Rachel McAdams (“The Notebook”) and Channing Tatum (“Dear John”) play a recently married couple who get in a car accident. It leaves McAdams’ character with memory loss, and she has no memory of marrying, or even meeting her husband. [...]

Corel AfterShot Pro Review: A Worthy Competitor to Adobe Lightroom?

14th February 2012 Cat: Notebook with Comments Off

  By David English If you’re into digital cameras, you’re probably still searching for the perfect photo editor. Full-featured photo editing software, such as Adobe Photoshop Lightroom or Apple’s Aperture, can be somewhat slow and cumbersome, especially on an older desktop or notebook computer. You can find smaller editors that are lightning fast, but they [...]

3M Tiny MP225A Mobile Projector Review

13th February 2012 Cat: Notebook with Comments Off

3M’s Tiny MP225A Mobile Projector is different, to say the least. Other televisions and projectors consistently push for larger, brighter screens with an emphasis on pushing technology to its limits. This approach is still found in the MP225A, but 3M built the projector to instead have a focus on portability. While other manufacturers build projectors [...]

‘The Vow’: The Reviews Are In!

11th February 2012 Cat: Notebook with Comments Off

Based on a highly unscientific poll of friends, family and coworkers, everyone is positive “The Vow” is a Nicholas Sparks movie and remains unconvinced when informed the romance novelist had no involvement in the pre-Valentine’s drama. The folks at Sony, though, likely aren’t complaining about any confusion. While “The Vow” hasn’t been winning over critics [...]
