Review: Windows 7 Media Center

Media centre PCs are an increasingly popular option, thanks to the low cost of storage, memory and processors powerful enough to decode and record multiple high-definition TV channels. If you've got an HD flat screen it makes sense to connect a PC with a couple of digital TV tuner cards - they ...

Windows 7 Media Center
DarkVision Hardware Articles and Review from around the web — ... Media centre PCs are an increasingly popular option, thanks to the low cost of storage, memory and processors powerful enough to decode and record multiple high-definition TV channels. If you've got an HD flat screen it makes sense to connect a PC with a couple of digital TV tuner cards - they can be easily upgraded for new formats like the forthcoming DVB-T2 for Freeview HD.

Review: Apple Safari 4
TechRadar: Computing reviews — Apple claims Safari 4 is feature-packed and 'the world's fastest browser.' In reality, it's business as usual. Safari remains as elegant and efficient as ever, but maddeningly omits features that could make your browsing even better. The good news is Safari 4 is fast, often leaving the competition trailing. But new features are hit and miss. The web developer tools are excellent, and while the revised search and address fields don't match Firefox's equivalents, they draw on your browsing history to somewhat accurately complete URLs and terms. Elsewhere, Safari plays catch-up and attempts to wow with gloss. Its Top Sites page nicks Opera's Speed Dial, but presents favourite sites ...

Review: Mozilla Firefox 3.5
TechRadar: Computing reviews — Of the dozens of available web browsers, only Firefox has truly challenged Internet Explorer's dominance. Version 3.5's now arrived, billed as the 'fastest, safest and smartest Firefox yet'. What it isn't, sadly, is an upgrade that befits a 0.5 jump in version number, since the changes are relatively minor. In fact, most Firefox 3.5 updates centre on supporting cutting-edge web technologies. While a laudable goal, uptake from designers isn't likely until Internet Explorer gets on board. For end users, pickings are slimmer; support for Ogg video and audio, private browsing, improved privacy controls, faster performance and location-aware browsing. These features all work well enough, ...

Review: YazSoft Playback
TechRadar: Computing reviews — YazSoft Playback for Mac OS X is a UPnP (Universal Plug n Play) server designed specifically for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, both of which have impressive media streaming capabilities, though it supports other UPnP compatible receivers too. There's integration with iTunes, iPhoto, Adobe Lightroom and Aperture, as well as individual folder browsing, all of which proved virtually seamless in our tests. It also sports bandwidth limiting to avoid slowing your network, the use of Spotlight searches and Quick Look previews, an access control list and integration with Growl's notification software. So far, so good, but it's Playback's price and simplicity that really make it ...

Review: Avanquest Berlitz Spanish Premier
TechRadar: Computing reviews — Berlitz Spanish Premier is a great introduction to learning Spanish and provides all you need to get started. The main application – Berlitz Learning System – is split into five different categories – Familiarisation, Vocabulary, Pronunciation, Conversation and Grammar. The software uses what Berlitz refers to as Immersion Environment, which aims to get the student accustomed to what the language really sounds like, through interaction and typical conversations. The conversations can be split into small sections and, using your laptop's speakers and microphone, it's possible to play back any of the individual words verbally. It's also easy to record yourself and play it back to see ...
