| The Future Of Tech (Part 5) |
| Window 8 integrates touch support as no previous version of Windows has done. In the new Windows Start screen and in Windows Store applications, you’ll be able to use a multitude of touch gestures, many of them involving full, 10-point multi-touch interaction; that is, the display will recognize the unique input from all 10 fingers . |
|
| The Future Of Tech (Part 4) |
| In 2013, televisions are going to get bigger. Not in size, but in resolution, with the first displays to support Ultra HD hitting the market. The Ultra HD standard offers two resolutions: 7680x4320 pixels (16 times as many pixels as on a standard HDTV, known as 8K), and 3840x2160 pixels (aka 4K). |
|
| The Future Of Tech (Part 3) |
| Several excellent premium compact cameras have been released in the past few years, but 2012 was an especially innovative year for the category. That’s because the image sensors in these pocket-size cameras are getting much bigger and much better, and we’re reaching the point where a pocket able camera will offer the image quality of a dSLR. |
|
| The Future Of Tech (Part 2) |

|
| Make The Most Of Your Wi-Fi (Part 2) |
| If you’re planning to buy a new printer, it may make sense to look for an all-in-one model that includes print and scan facilities, plus built-in Wi-Fi. So-called multifunction printers allow you to scan as well as print wirelessly. When you connect an older all-in-one device (which doesn’t have built-in networking) to a NAS drive or router’s USB port, it may not be possible to use its scanning component. |
|
| Make The Most Of Your Wi-Fi (Part 1) |
| Three quarters of us now have a home Wi-Fi network, which means we can access the internet from any room in the house. Convenient though this might be, it’s barely scratching the surface of what’s possible form wireless internet. Our aim in this feature is to help you unleash that potential. |

| Scottevest Transformer Jacket - An Innovative Garment For Gadget Geeks |
| Scottevest has been around for nearly 13 years. I have watched the company evolve since the beginning, when they were just producing a not-so-fashionable windbreaker made up of a bunch of pockets and Velcro. While some of the changes over the last decade have come from new fashion trends, most of them have come from changes in technology - both the devices people carry, and the materials available to clothing manufacturers. |

| Kingston Wi - Drive 128GB: Simple To Get Started |
| Tablets and phones are great for apps and web surfing, but they come with limited storage space, so you can’t use them to carry around all your movies and music. For example, the Nexus 7 was only upgraded to 32GB before Christmas, and the cheapest iPad and iPad Mini come with just 16GB, which soon fills up. |

|
| FRITZ! Box 3370 - Everything's Networked With FRITZ |
| There’s a regular stream of new FRITZ! Boxes, and we’ve looked at a couple in the past. We like them because they’re a decent upgrade to an ISP bundled ADSL router, they add many NAS-like features such as USB storage and media streaming and their embedded Linux is often easily hackable. |

| Price Of Piracy |
| There is no denying that piracy is illegal. There is also no denying the fact that digital piracy is commonplace in this day and age. As current laws and provisions fail to stop intellectual property theft and copyright infringement, how will the authorities further respond? |

| Has Apple Lost It? (Part 2) |
| Apple has always released expensive products. If you want a shiny aluminum MacBook, then you have to stump up $1,500. Some people will do this, some won’t. There are certainly lots of cheaper laptops around, but there are also lots of equally expensive ones too, such as Sony Vaios. |
|
| Has Apple Lost It? (Part 1) |
| Forgive the cliché, but Apple really is the Marmite of computer companies. You either love it or you hate it. There is no middle ground! Oh alright, there probably is some middle ground, but there really is no other company that inspires such devotion on one side and such hatred on the other. |

|
| Analyze This - Wi-Fi Nets Via Smartphone (Part 1) |
| Today, we have map-based Wi-Fi surveying mobile apps you can run on your Android-powered smartphone or tablets. These allow you to create heat maps of Wi-Fi coverage using a small and light weight device. And for those vendors that offer a laptop-based surveying product, the data can be exported there for further analysis. |

| Devolo dLAN 500 AV Wireless + Starter Kit |
| The very latest version, incorporating AV Wireless+, takes what is already a very useful solution and makes it even more flexible. Previously you've been able to buy the dLAN 500 AV Triple+, which was a powerline output with three network sockets, and the dLAN 200 Wireless N, which was the same but with a wireless component. |

| The drive toward DSLs : Running the Scheduling DSL |
| Compilation is expensive, and once we load an assembly in the CLR, we have no way of freeing the occupied memory short of unloading the entire AppDomain. To deal with these two problems, we need to do at least some caching up front. |
|
| Visual Studio Team System 2008 : Deploying and Running Tests (part 2) |
| We have seen the different deployment configurations in the above sections. There are multiple places to specify the deployment items. We can specify on the project level, the individual test level, and on the method level. But what happens if we have files with the same name specified in different levels. |

| Programming Excel with VBA and .NET : Expressions, Exceptions |
| In programming languages, expressions are anything that produces a result. You use expressions to evaluate something, such as a math calculation or a true/false condition. In Visual Basic, the Immediate window functions as an expression evaluator, so it's a good place to try out different expressions. |
|
| Programming Excel with VBA and .NET : Loops |
| For Each works only with collections , which are a special type of object that contains a group of other objects. All collections have a special, hidden property called an enumerator that allows them to work with For Each. |
