  • Make your own PDF: Nitro PDF vs. Adobe Acrobat 7.0

    To offer print-ready forms, brochures, and booklets on a Web site, you must create documents in the portable document format (PDF).

  • First Take: Adobe Premiere Pro 1.5

    Premiere Pro 1.5 isn't the major overhaul that Pro was, but it features several important enhancements.

  • Adobe InDesign CS

    Even as QuarkXPress implodes, InDesign CS gains features and capabilities that make it the layout application of choice.

  • First Look: InDesign CS

    The new InDesign CS will hold its own as the document-layout anchor of Creative Suite and as a standalone DTP package, but as a product update, there's little to write home about.

  • QuarkXPress 6.0

    Upgrade if you're a legacy QuarkXPress user and you want Mac OS X support; otherwise, try Adobe's InDesign.

  • Adobe Premiere Pro

    Existing Premiere users will want to switch to this version straight away; newcomers to video editing will also find it less daunting, but still extremely powerful.

  • Why new 'Photoshop Lite' isn't worth it

    With the release of version 2.0, Adobe Photoshop Elements is still my program of choice for editing digital photographs. But I find it hard to recommend spending AU$179 on the upgrade. Here's why.

  • Adobe Premiere 6.5: Power package for PC producers

    No one can accuse Adobe of resting on its laurels--Premiere 6.5 impresses, as long as you're running a PC. Mac users may want to look elsewhere.

  • Adobe king of the hill

    PageMaker is still the king of the hill in many offices where it's used for newsletters, brochures, schedules or posters - the "business publishing" market, as Adobe calls it.

  • Adobe Photoshop 6.0

    We may quibble with some of the superficial ways in which Adobe updated Photoshop from 5.5 to 6.0, but we certainly can't complain about the results. Based on the beta version we tested, we think that print and Web graphics producers will greatly appreciate the productivity improvements. However, casual users may finally find themselves a bit over their heads.

  • Apple iMac (20-inch, 2.4GHz)

    Apple's smaller-scale iMac remains our favourite all-in-one. And while its looks, its ease of use, and its performance are all selling points, Windows PCs are starting to catch up (at least with the latter).

  • ASUS Eee Box

    Despite a few useful features, the ASUS Eee Box is a novelty at best. It can't come close to the performance and robustness of even the most basic standard budget PC, while a low-end notebook can do everything it can do and more.

  • Dell Studio Hybrid

    It's hard for us to recommend the Dell Studio Hybrid desktop for any practical purpose. As a desktop for productivity, you can get more bang-for-your-buck from a typical budget-priced midtower PC.

  • Lenovo ThinkCentre A57

    The Lenovo A57 is a well-priced office desktop with a strong performance. While very similar to its smaller sibling, the M57e, the A57 offers better performance and upgrade options for a small price increase.

  • Sony VAIO LT VCG-LT28G

    While a solid machine and a capable media centre, we're still trying to work out who the target market for the highly expensive LT VAIO is. Design-crazed multimillionaires, perhaps.

  • David Braue NBN needs workers on board
    Without consensus on labour issues, the eventual winner of the NBN may end up as little more than a lame duck and a cashed-up symbol of the conflict between the desire for progress and the lack of mechanisms to deliver it.
  • Array D'Ascenzo: Read p23 of security review
    Following yesterday's admission by the Australian Taxation Office that its courier had lost a CD containing the details of 3,000 self-managed super funds, it wants to review how it handles information. My suggestion: go back to the review completed in April.
  • Array Opening the floodgates on missing drives
    News headlines about portable storage devices going missing are as common as muck, but the problem could be even more widespread than you suspect.
