- AV in the cloud... wait, what?
- So, in a move that I can't currently understand, Trend Micro CEO Eva Chen has thrown out some buzz words claiming that they will move their anti-virus software into the cloud. Wait... she said what now? I'm not really sure what that actually means, because the article is very vague...

- Microshutters for the Webb Space Telescope
- In case you dont remember, the Webb Space Telescope will replace Hubble, probably after 2011, and should be able to catch phenomena which happened 13.5 billion light-years ago (read more for a Hubble vs. Webb comparison). At these distances, the instruments onboard will need to be more precise than ever....

- Samsung Sway SCH-U650 (Verizon Wireless)
- It's clear that Samsung loves two things: slim slider phones and midrange camera phones with a flip design. Indeed, we've seen a deluge of such models over the last few years, with the latest in the slider camp being the Samsung SCH-U650 for Verizon Wireless. Also called the Sway, (why,...

- Canon EF 70-200mm f4 IS USM L
- You want a medium telephoto lens for your Canon dSLR, something with a constant aperture, solidly built with pro quality, yet light enough to carry on adventure to some far away part of the world. You have looked at the f2.8 models but didn't think you could afford them or...

- Pantech C610 (AT&T)
- Pantech doesn't normally come to mind when we think of high-end feature phones, simply because most Pantech handsets we review are of the lower-end, basic variety. (See the Pantech Breeze, for example.) Pantech surprises us every once in awhile, though, as it did with the Pantech C610. At first...

- Canon Vixia HG20
- The Canon Vixia HG20 is an excellent HD camcorder that's reasonably easy to operate out of the box and looks good, too. It's almost identical to the company's Vixia HF11, but rather than recording mainly to internal flash memory, it records to a hard drive. As for performance, it's as...

- Sony Handycam DCR-SR85
- The Sony Handycam DCR-SR85 offers almost everything the company claims. It's very easy to use, goes from off to recording in seconds, is small enough to throw in a bag, and its 60GB hard drive delivers anywhere from 14 to 41 hours of recording time depending on the quality settings....

- Kyocera Tempo E2000
- We don't review many U.S. Cellular phones because the carrier is regional and not nationwide. However, there are several phones for U.S. Cellular that aren't available for other carriers, and the Kyocera Tempo is one of them. The Tempo is one of Kyocera's few music-focused phones released in the U.S....

- Canon PowerShot A580
- In general, it's best not to expect too much from a budget camera: the 8-megapixel Canon PowerShot A580 exemplifies this philosophy. Sure, it's got a clunky design, feels cheap, and doesn't have all the latest features (in fact for about the same price or a little more you can get...

- Virgin Mobile Shuttle - red
- While we were fans of Helio handsets like the Ocean and the Kickflip, we knew that Helio as a company was struggling. Indeed, Helio was shopping around for a buyer, and in late June, Virgin Mobile stepped up to buy the fledgling MVNO for $39 million. There were many questions...

- The Sony Ericsson TM506 marks a couple of "firsts" for T-Mobile. Not only is it the first Sony Ericsson to land at T-Mobile in several years, but also it's the carrier's first 3G cell phone since it launched its 3G network in May. Though it doesn't offer a streaming media...
