Ah, you know you’re old when you remember things being so much more expensive than they are now, particularly when it comes to technology. Back in ‘the day’ only the wealthy had access to video cameras where they could capture all of life’s finest moments on tape, and annoy their friends at cocktail parties with such cameras. Now just about everyone has one, whether it’s in your phone, on your camera, or you’ve just gone and gotten a new video camera. The only problem is in the converting process, and how many times have I found myself swearing when it comes to transferring a video from my digital camera into something that can be emailed or actually used. Our good friends at Sony must have experienced the same thing at least once or twice, as they have now created the DVDirect DVD Burner, a gadget that will become very good friends to camcorder owners, or owners of digital cameras with a host of videos on their memory cards. With this you can transfer content from any media straight to a DVD without even worrying about using your PC as the middleman. Features of the Burner include a 2.5 inch color screen so you can preview as you burn, as well as 5 memory card slots for video content transfer, and a dual recording device that will store as much as 8.5 GB of footage onto a DVDR Dual Layer Disk. You will even find automatic DVD tilting and full menu creation. Not only all of this, but you will also be able to connect your camera or camcorder to your burner and to your VCR or DVR as well to create all sorts of fun at-home videos. Yes, you can still annoy your friends at cocktail parties, it’s even easier now.

Zone Alarm provides yet another layer of Protection with the ForceField. “Protection” is important when you are “Sampling” web sites that you are unfamiliar with. The instant gratification that the Internet provides may lead you to make decisions that you regret the next morning. Fortunately, the “ForceFeild” may have taken off your Beer Goggles and prevented you from getting that “Virus”. It also erased any “History” that could stir up not so pleasant dinner table conversation with your wife. But that is where the ForceField’s Protection Stops. When you disregarded the warnings and still have that one night stand the ForceFeild can’t help you. You would need the Maximum Protection of the ZoneAlarm Internet Security Suite to be cured of the Virus’ and Spyware exposed yourself to.

The ForceField may not be completed ready for retail, but Zone Alarm is currently letting you test if for free. Internet threats are constantly adapting. Stay a step a head of them with the Zone Alarm ForceField!

We’ve all gotten it. That disapproving look from the your waiter or delivery person when you drop the buck fifty in change on them. At that moment you vaguely remember that the tip is supposed to be a certain percentage of the total price of the meal, product, or service. You rapidly try and do the math in your head only to get it wrong and either over pay or still not give enough. Either way you’re the guy they’re going to be talking about in the back of the restaurant where they prepare your food! Well be talked about no more! Koloroo has introduced the first of hopefully many more iPod Widgets called the TipKalc. Software you can load onto your iPod from either a PC or Mac to calculate tips and even features a built in check splitter! Read more »
