Samsung UN46D8000 LED HDTV Review: Delicious Design, Excellent Features, and Great Image Quality
Samsung UN46D8000 46″ 3D LED TV (1920×1080, 240Hz, HDTV, LED Backlight, 3D) Review, by Yardena Arar September 23, 2011 With its Series 8 models, Samsung can lay claim to one of the skinniest bezels in the business: less than 0.25 inch between the edge of the 46-inch UN46D8000YF and its 1080p LED-backlit LCD panel. And because the bezel is mostly clear, with a silvery edge, the set’s image seems to occupy its entire surface. One notable rival in the thin-bezel sweepstakes is the Sony Bravia 46HX820. Even better, these good looks accompany solid image quality and a long list of desirable features, including 3D support (with a pair of active-shutter glasses), Wi-Fi, a built-in Web browser, oodles of apps, and robust streaming-media services. You can even make Skype video calls with an optional webcam, and an unusual two-sided remote provides a QWERTY keyboard to help with data entry. But with [...]
Synology DiskStation DS211+ 2-Bay NAS Packs in the Features
PCWorld Rating 3.5 3.5 / 5 – PCWorld, Sep 20, 2011 Pros Great software features Supports 3TB drives No second ethernet jack Cons Poorly designed drive trays Bottom Line A fast but pricey 2-bay NAS box loaded with feature-packed software. The two-bay Synology DiskStation DS211+ is as feature-packed as two-bay NAS enclosures come. Not only is the box fast, but its easy-to-use DiskStation Manager 3.1 software provides tons of Secure FTP and HTTP, a variety of media-serving features, rsync backup to other NAS boxes, iSCSI, video surveillance, and a whole lot more. Although the unit itself is attractive, the DS211+’s drive bays have a slightly cheap feel. The pop-off faceplate that facilitates access to the drives is clever as well as handy, but the plastic trays and locking mechanisms seem a bit penny-pinching for a box this pricey. So does the lack of a second ethernet port for failover and [...]

Adobe Premiere Elements 10: New Features Keep Video Editor Near the Head of the Class
Adobe’s Premiere Elements 10 video-editing application sports a few hand-me-downs from its pricier Premiere sibling, plus a major under-the-hood upgrade with the addition of a new Windows 7 64-bit version. I looked at the shipping version ($ 100, $ 80 upgrade as of September 20, 2011) of this consumer-oriented application, and found a few other new features that make me like it even more. 64-Bit Version–But No Vista Adobe now offers a 64-bit version of Premiere Elements 10, but only for Windows 7. Owners of Windows XP 64-bit systems or Windows Vista 64-bit systems will have to be satisfied with the 32-bit version. The organizer that accompanies Elements remains 32-bit, too. The main benefit of going to a 64-bit version, of course, is that the application can address more system memory, and thus should perform better (especially with high-definition content and larger projects); furthermore, it should be more stable because [...]
