Feature: The Next 25 Years in Tech
Can you believe it's been a quarter-century since PC Magazine launched? It's true--and a lot can change in 25 years. With that in mind, we enlisted industry leaders--from Michael Dell and Bill Gates to our own John C. Dvorak and Michael J. Miller--to share their visions of tomorrow's technology. Read about what they think is in store between now and 2032.

Review: Bento Organizes Leopard
Although at its roots a database management application, FileMaker's Bento goes a long way as far as personal organization is concerned. In simplifying the organization of information--contacts, calendars, events, and even digital media content--Bento ups the ante on its predecessor, FileMaker. Check out the complete review and walkthrough on PCMag.com.
Site of the Week: Hulu.com
We first saw it with Joost, but now Hulu, an online video service still in private beta, gives you access to popular full-length TV programming--all in silky smooth, streaming video that looks beautiful. What's even better: Rather than having to dig through the depths of network Web sites, Hulu's catalog is easy to peruse and search, so you spend less time finding episodes and more time enjoying them. Find out more in the full Site of the Week review.
Review: A Dual-Band Wireless Media Extender
The Linksys DMA2200 media extender is a solid entry into the Vista-compatible media extender space. You'll see more of these later this year from other vendors, but for now the DMA2200 differentiates itself with dual-band Wi-Fi, a DVD player, and loads of Internet media plug-ins. All this, though, comes at a price. Read the whole review to find out if it's worth it.
Dvorak Online: The Bill Gates Exit Strategy BS
Notwithstanding Bill Gates's CES keynote, which myriad articles in various media are calling his "swan song," John C. Dvorak is skeptical that this is truly the last we'll see of Mr. Gates in the tech world. Sure, Gates says he's off to do nothing but charity work, but Dvorak's not buying it. Read his column to see what he thinks really is the case.
Feature: CPU Roadmap for 2008
Everyone's always looking for the next big thing in computing technology—heck, we base a whole magazine on it. Looking back, 2007's big stories were Intel's move from dual-core to multicore processors and AMD's move to 65 nm. But what's next? Here, we take a look ahead to see what '08 will bring for the dueling chip manufacturers.
AppScout: Power Image Editing without Photoshop
No doubt there's a gold standard for Mac users who want a photo-editing suite on their desktop or laptop, and that's Photoshop. Sometimes, though, shelling out the cash for a new Adobe license isn't that appealing. Acorn is a simple photo-editing solution that might be what you're looking for: It's lightweight and affordable, and it incorporates most of the features a lot of people need. Head over to AppScout for the full hands-on report.

PC Magazine Discussions
Tell us your thoughts on the following topics:
Facebook Kills Your Memories
Social-networking services disconnect us by scattering our lives into tiny compartments. Years down the road, we're going to regret it when we try to delve into our boxes of virtual memories and find they're not there. Do you agree?
Draft-N Doesn't Play Nice
If CES shows us anything, it's that Wireless-G is far from dead. According to spokespeople from both Netgear and Linksys, Wireless-G is still where the sweet sales balloon is floating, and the vast majority of installed home wireless networks are still running at 802.11g. So, of course, all the networking vendors here in Vegas are pushing Wireless-N as hard as they can. What router draft do you trust the most?
Delphi: Remote-Control Your Car with an iPhone!
Most remotes lock and unlock cars. Some start the engine. Delphi's Wireless Vehicle Access software programmed onto an iPhone monitors and controls most every imaginable vehicle function. What do you think of this new tech concept?
