Andy Grove: The Life and Times of an American review
Reviews Grove is for all intents and purposes American, and Tedlow treats him as such after a 50-page summary of Grove's early life. If you're too young to have lived through the birth and development of the personal computer industry, or if you weren't...

Blog! review
Reviews Media includes child actor turned author Wil Wheaton, Colby Buzzell, an American GI formerly stationed in Iraq and Arianna Huffington. Finally, each main section concludes with guest commentaries written by journalists from such well-known American...

IdeaFisher Pro review
Reviews One point which must be noted is that the software is North American in origin. In our exercise based around 'rain' we retrieved a number of concepts and phrases that are clearly more geared towards a North American than a British audience -- for...

Free Culture review
Reviews Concentrating primarily on American law, Free Culture documents the way copyright laws have been progressively tightened over the last couple of decades. These are, of course, American laws, but there is increasingly little difference between the...

The Myths of Innovation review
Reviews The late American talk show host Johnny Carson used to like to ask guests how they became overnight successes. The answers invariably detailed a decade or more of hard work and failed efforts while they gained experience.

Reviews Handspring's forthcoming handheld/cellphone device will have a colour screen, backlit keys and decent battery life, according to documents the company has submitted to the American Federal Communications Commission (FCC).

Deskpops review
Reviews You can’t use Deskpops with a custom wallpaper, and the first clue that this is a whole-heartedly American product is the Patriotic category, which offers the US Flag, Gettysburg and the Memphis Belle among others.

Privacy on the Line review
Reviews Obviously, most of this history is American. Even more significantly, the battle fought throughout the early and mid 1990s over the question of whether strong encryption should continue to be restricted as a military weapon came to an end.

High-Tech Crimes Revealed review
Reviews Some of the background of these cases is wholly American, such as the discussion of the Federal Trade Commission's efforts to crack down on identity theft. Branigan is a former manager for Bell Labs Computing and Network Research, and has a...

Amazon Kindle Wireless Reading Device review
Reviews If you live overseas and are thinking of buying this 'American' Kindle, you should check the Kindle's product page to see what you're up against. Surprisingly, while the design of the two products appears to be exactly the same, the first thing we...

Digital SLRs: go pro for less review
Reviews But it's hard to pry review units from our reviewers for more than a few minutes, so I hadn't really spent much time shooting with one until I paid my way down to a Canon press event in Miami, where the company was sponsoring two cars in an...

Switching to VoIP review
Reviews Where the book really falls down for a British audience is that it is -- as so many of these books are -- thoroughly American. This book aims to fill the gap. It explains the convergence of voice and data, the basics of the older Public-Switched...

Google Desktop 2 review
Reviews To date, you can pick from hundreds of plug-ins to add more panels that display a PC system monitor, a calendar, content from iTunes, your American Express transactions and more. Installing Google Desktop 2 on our Windows XP computer went smoothly...

Take control of your email review
Reviews The first two are British products while the third is American. The availability of broadband, the massive growth in junk email (spam), and the increasing importance of email as a communications tool are all good reasons why you might decide to run...

The Digital Person review
Reviews British readers will find less to identify with in Solove's discussion of the American Fourth Amendment, however, and he spends little time considering the data protection regime that prevails throughout Europe.

Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 Mobile review
Reviews Like all synthetic voices we have come across, this one is sterile, lacking in inflection and distinctly American in accent. Installation and features Dragon NaturallySpeaking 8 Preferred is straightforward and quick to install.

LG 7100 review
Reviews The LG Content Bank has three selections: Images, which are split into eight categories; Melodies, which in addition to a smattering of classical tunes also include a cheesy American female saying ‘Honey, hurry up and answer the phone’; the last...

The Future of Reputation review
Reviews English law protecting confidentiality is stronger than its American counterpart, but the issues, like the internet itself, are the same everywhere. Think of life as a celebrity. No matter how many autographs you sign and no matter how graciously...

Geekender Gallery: Mutant Clones from China review
Reviews However, the seas will boil dry, the Beatles will reform and Gary McKinnon will get a job in the US State Department before Apple's lawyers allow this little beauty within ten parsecs of American soil.

Eten M500 review
Reviews For example, it speaks in a very disjointed American voice, it gets confused -- on several occasions we asked it to ‘start calendar’, which it misheard as ‘start camera’; and although you can launch applications, you can’t close them with a voice...
