Welcome to today's Inside PCMag.com newsletter.
A newly proposed amendment to federal law may ban any and all copying of DVDs, including making backups. The legislation would also prevent DVDs from playing through without the disc physically in the drive. In essence, the proposal would outlaw DVD copying even if it's considered "fair use." Do you think it's okay to legislate how people use their DVDs in their own homes?

Review Roundup: Get the Big Picture
So you did it; you bought yourself a nice, big HDTV. But now something's just not right. Could it be image overscanning? That happens when the picture is stretched out beyond the edges of the TV set, so you end up losing an inch or two on each side of the screen. Thankfully, as HDTVs have gained popularity, manufacturers have addressed that and other issues our analysts have had with them. These four sets do a great job of eliminating image overscan.
Review: A Pint-Sized Tablet PC
The Gateway C-120X packs a 12-inch widescreen and is a pint-sized, low-power version of its older cousin, the Gateway M285-E. But those who have been in the market for something a bit smaller than the M285-E, which is really a desktop replacement, will be well pleased with this compact incarnation. It's not without its flaws, though. Check out our full review to see where it falls short.
Review: This Cheap Cell Cuts Through the Buzz
Have you ever had your cell-phone calls interrupted by an annoying buzzing interference through your car or computer speakers when you place a call? You can blame that irritating hum on your GSM phone. The LG CU400 for Cingular cuts that out altogether. But before you run out and grab this midrange handset, find out how its other features stacked up when it was tried out in the PC Magazine Labs.
Expert Help: Personalizing the Office 2007 Interface
The new features that came along with the release of Microsoft Office 2007 were more than welcome. But upgrades are easy to get used to. What may take a little more time is getting accustomed to the user interfaces and tweaking them to fit your Office needs and working style. To make your transition easier, here's a handy guide to manipulating the software to suit you. Get started now.
Column: Nintendo's Wii Is the Greatest Product . . . Ever
We know, we know. We've been drooling over the Nintendo Wii for a while now—talking about how great its user interface is and how it's a truly revolutionary gaming experience. But as time goes on, Lance Ulanoff gets more and more convinced of the Wii's superiority. As far as he's concerned, it's light-years ahead of the Sony PlayStation 3. Find out why by reading his column.
News: Samsung to Ship Hybrid Drives Next Week

Inside Apple: Hands On with Leopard
When Apple CEO Steve Jobs demoed the upcoming Leopard OS at this year's WWDC, he showed off what he's calling a "feature complete" beta of the system—meaning one packed with 300 or so add-ons and features to make the user experience easier and, of course, flashier. Find out what's in store in this week's edition of Inside Apple.
