As VoIP use rises, so does the number of questions about it. Here are some of the essentials.
Verification gadgets range from tokens to mobile-phone-based systems, but cost keeps them from catching on.
Norton Internet Security 2009 hits all the right security notes and its superior protection technologies might even win back some jaded anti-Symantec folks, though the lack of adequate technical support may continue to frustrate.
Adobe recently released a beta of their on-line version of Photoshop based on flash Photoshop Express. Despite terms of use that gives Adobe the rights to your photos, we think the beta version shows promise.
