Canon – SELPHY ES2
Canon’s SELPHY range has always been aimed squarely at the party-goer or happy snapper who’s on holiday, on the move or just keen to have a quick, instant collection of hard copies of memorable moments. Consequently they’ve emerged as chic, lightweight, easy to operate and good quality compact printers. The ES2 continues in the grand…
Acer – AS5633
The AS5633 gives a straightforward glimpse into the current world of the Acer laptop. Discounting the fact that it arrives in a traditional style, rather than the new Gemstone chassis, this is very much a mass-market portable, powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo T5500 processor (running at 1.66GHz). It comes loaded with a useful…

Sega – Ghost Squad
Some of the finest entertainment this reviewer’s ever had with a games console and a good night in was the original Time Crisis on the Playstation. The game was horribly short, but so insanely exciting that it consigned to the back of our mind the attempts in the old days to play light gun games…
Facebook Peaks?
According to the latest figures, social networking phenomenon Facebook’s staggering rise to fame has been stopped in its tracks. Having spent much of 2007 reporting huge month-on-month surges in popularity, the service saw visitor numbers between December 2007 and January 2008 slide by some 5 percent. “So what?”, you may ask, if you’re one of…

Corel – Ulead VideoStudio 11.5
There’s not a dramatic difference between Corel Ulead VideoStudio 11 and 11.5, as testified by the fact that this new version is available as a free upgrade for those who own the earlier one. That upgrade is accessible via the Corel site, for those looking to simply do that. But there is quite an improvement,…
