The security protection of Microsoft's Windows Live OneCare 2.0 suite is much better than that of the debut version.
While the Consumer Electronics Association announced that it would go green by purchasing 20,000 tons' worth of carbon offsets, a few companies at CES 2008's Sustainable Technologies TechZone introduced new products that use fewer nonrenewable resources from the get-go. They're still a little pricey for the average consumer, but they show that both sunlight and water are viable power sources for laptops, iPods, cell phones, and other gadgets.
Many dangers threaten us on the Internet - even when we're just browsing the Web. McAfee's SiteAdvisor Plus, the fee-based sibling of the security software firm's free Site Advisor product, and Symantec's Norton Confidential, focus on protecting users as they interact with websites.

Contrary to what Mac cynics might say, the upgrades in Mac OS X Version 10.4 (also known as Tiger), Apple's latest operating system, are not just cosmetic.
Apple released an evolutionary, rather than revolutionary, revamp of its PowerBook notebook line at the end of January. Improvements include slightly faster PowerPC G4 processors, hard drives, graphics chips and optical drives. While testing the 1.67GHz 15.2-inch widescreen PowerBook with 8X DVD+RW burner, I found it to be fast, light and a joy to use - but no particular enhancement rocked my world.
