Belkin AC1200 DB Wi-Fi ADSL Router |
The headlong rush towards 802.11.ac Wi-Fi shows no signs of T stopping, and now Belkin has entered the fray with its own AC flavored router, the AC1200 DB. I've mentioned before that this isn't a ratified standard, so those who wish to join the pre-AC scrabble need to be wary of what ratification might ultimately mean. |

Getting Your Head Around The Cloud |
The internet is a breeding ground for buzzwords, and while many of them come and go, it is not always easy to distinguish fads from the future. Social media has been a big focus for most internets related software and thinking for a while now, with tweeting, sharing and inviting being a big part of any design that crosses our screens. |

Does Microsoft Have An Image Problem? (Part 2) |
It feels like no one quite knows how to market Microsoft. And maybe that’s true: it’s got to be a pretty difficult brief. Microsoft is the default choice for many people: most businesses and large organizations use Windows and Microsoft Office, it’s what most people learn to use in schools and it’s what most people who don't know very much about computers use. |
|
Does Microsoft Have An Image Problem? (Part 1) |
There's something about Microsoft that never feels youthful or exciting. Microsoft isn't the cool option, whether you're buying a computer or a smartphone. However, that's not for lack of trying on Microsoft's part. Over the last few years, it's tried really hard to create branding and advertising that promotes its products as fun and desirable. |

PowerTraveller Powerchimp 4A Battery Charger |
Portable power is a big issue for anyone who travels, because public transport tends to be rather inconsistent when it comes to offering power sockets. Running out of power on your phone or tablet can be a nightmare, and the limited battery life offered these days just exacerbates things. |

The Computers That Came In From The Cold (Part 1) |
In the UK in the 80s there was no better computer than the Sinclair ZX Spectrum (unless you felt the Commodore 64 was your thing). It emerged in Britain in 1982 and until the late 1980s was a dominant force in the computer industry. Mainly used for games, but also featuring some serious or educational activities, the ZX Spectrum was a great little machine. |

ARM’s Big Little At Large (Part 2) |
The genius of big.LlTl'LE is that it's transparent to the OS (to be fair, so is Nvidia's 4-PLUS-1). No software modification is required. It works through DVFS (not a furniture store but dynamic voltage and frequency scaling), and support for that is built into every modern OS already. |
|
ARM’s Big Little At Large (Part 1) |
The pace of change in the phone and tablet markets is breathtaking. Three years ago, the flagship desktop CPU was the Core i7-2600K, and that's still a big-hitter even now. Subsequent Core i7 CPUs are little more than die-shrinks - a nip or tuck here, an incremental lift to GPU performance there. |

The Computers That Came In From The Cold (Part 2) |
There are also copies of Western games that run on extended hardware Russian clones. My favorite is Mario Islands, which looks exactly as you’d expect... like a ZX Spectrum playing Mario World. It doesn’t do a bad job either. Check it out on YouTube if you want to see it in action for yourself. |

Google Shoe, Budget Tabs And More (Part 2) |
The search giant also showed off a goofy “talking shoe” at SXSW 2013. So what does this talking shoe do? Unfortunately, it doesn’t issue warnings telling its wearer to avoid dog poop and other roadside hazards. Instead, Google’s latest toy “aims to translate movement data [into] witty messages to users and their friends.” |

Google Shoe, Budget Tabs And More (Part 1) |
A year since the unveiling of Google Glass a lot more information about it is now starting to pour in, with the internet giant revealing many details at numerous recent events, such as SXSW and TED Talks. Let us summarize everything you need know about Google Glass. |

Synology DS213air - A Great Home-Network Storage Server |
Centralizing storage is becoming increasingly important as consumers move from PCs and laptops to storage-poor tablets for their home-computing needs, but there can be practical difficulties. NAS drives can be noisy and intrusive, and most require a wired network connection, making it tricky to hide them away in a quiet corner. |

Western Digital My Net AC1300 Router |
The My Net AC1300 is the second toe Western Digital has dipped into the fast router market's murky waters, following after the excellent N900 it released last year. This is a pre-802.11AC box, and so utilizes a standard that isn't yet officially defined for dual bandwidth wireless networking. |

Network-Attached Storage Solutions |
Network-attached storage (NAS) drives are extremely convenient because they provide a single repository for files and folders that can be accessed from any device connected to the same network. So, it can be deeply frustrating when a NAS drive starts playing up. Our Quick Troubleshooter will help. |

Do New Things With Your PC, Laptop And Gadgets (Part 2) |
A PC that seems too old and slow for ordinary computer tasks can make an excellent media server. The computer will need audio and video out - VGA and a 3.5mm audio jack are a minimum. Use these cables to connect your old laptop or desktop computer to your TV. It’s best to start with a clean installation of Windows, but not essential. |

Do New Things With Your PC, Laptop And Gadgets (Part 1) |
If you have a laptop or tablet, it could be used as a second screen for your PC. This is a great use for a retired laptop, or one that is no longer in constant use. Download the free ZoneScreen program (www. zoneos.com) and install it on both computers. You’ll also need to connect your laptop to the same network as the main computer. |
