Reviews This company creates supply chain systems for the US Air Force and sells more IBM computers into corporations than IBM itself. I shared a pint the other day with Bob Suh, chief technology strategist for the giant consulting company, /">Accenture.

LaCie Desktop FireWire Hard Drive review
Reviews Having two ports allows you to daisy-chain this drive with other hard drives or removable storage. The 160GB Desktop FireWire Hard Drive uses LaCie’s standard external disk housing, seen on many of its drives (including removable media drives).

Maxtor 1394 External Storage review
Reviews This allows you to daisy-chain devices together without needing a FireWire hub. The 1394 External Storage drive comes in Maxtor’s standard external enclosure, which achieves its compact 4.8 by 15.3 by 22cm size thanks to the use of an external...

LG Super Multi Blue GBW-H10N review
Reviews According to the drive's manual, HD movie discs can be played in ‘analogue’ mode without the need for a fully HDCP-compliant playback chain, but with some loss of quality. Although business users may only wish to use this drive for high-capacity...

LaCie Desktop USB Hard Drive review
Reviews There are no downstream USB 2.0 ports on the back of the drive, so you won’t be able to daisy-chain any other USB devices from it. We were supplied with the 120GB model costing £208.51 (ex. VAT), which is cheaper than Maxtor's Personal Storage...

Hyper-V Server 2008 R2 review
Reviews Unfortunately, lower down the food chain, smaller companies may find this approach a little expensive. In its target enterprise market, where it will be deployed together with the full Windows Server 2008 product, Hyper-V Server makes a lot of sense.

Voice over IP gateways review
Reviews Higher up the food chain, the Vega 50 from VegaStream is a good choice if you're connecting multiple offices and teleworkers, with the bonus of UK development and support. As their branch office and teleworker networks grow, companies are...

Polycom Communicator review
Reviews Not only will a two-watt speaker and a gaudily glowing LED ring will put an additional drain your batteries, but it's also an extra box to lug around -- and one that comes much further down the food chain than the mobile phone or a handheld.

Epson EMP-810 review
Reviews There's a USB downstream socket in the projector, so you can daisy chain further USB devices from it. Other resolutions are interpolated to fit this - for example, we were able to feed a 1,600 by 1,200 pixel signal to the projector and still get a...

Soundbug review
Reviews This was not done under strict scientific conditions and the signal chain was not calibrated: however, as much as possible of the testbed was kept the same between devices. But we'll leave the results for the end of the show: first, let's set the...

Intel's next-generation Core processor architecture review

Small-business technology review
Reviews Moving up the chain of surprise, as it were, I recommend that all small businesspeople educate themselves about blogs -- both reading and posting them. People in the computer industry -- and those of us who make a living by commenting on it...
