Smart Talk at Work and Home
Voiceover IP is becoming more and more popular in small businesses and in homes all the time. Given that, services and hardware are constantly improving in order to stay competitive. No matter what your telecom needs, one VoIP service or another will fit the bill. Here, we look at four products that span the range of needs.

Business Bargains
Finding budget tech for your office is easy. But if you're looking for real innovation to go along with the low prices, check out the bargains we found, such as the $1,300 HP rp5700 desktop PC. Read all the reviews on PCMag.com to see what other great deals we dug up.

Say Good-Bye to Wi-Fi
We're all pretty familiar with the hunt for a Wi-Fi hot spot when we're traveling away from our primary home or office network, but sometimes we just can't seem to snag a solid signal. USB modems and wireless cards work on cellular networks, and can get your laptop online almost anywhere. These five devices can help keep you connected wherever you may roam.

Pick the Perfect Smartphone
The reasons to upgrade your mobile handset to a smartphone keep adding up; we get e-mails constantly and find ourselves more and more often needing to do Web searches on the fly. Since so many smartphones cost a few hundred bucks or more, it's important to choose the right one for you. Use this handy guide to select the best service, platform, and phone.

The Cure to Malware
Spyware Doctor with AntiVirus 5.5 (SDAV 5.5) has smoothed out those imperfections that bogged down Version 5. In the end it produces a squeaky-clean system, by doing an excellent job of keeping malware from regaining a foothold in your newly pristine system. Check out the full review on PCMag.com.

Use Office to Collaborate on Projects
Offices are more interactive now than they've ever been; multiple users need to access the same files to coordinate efforts on projects both big and small. With better collaboration, you'll never again have to sheepishly confess to a coworker that you overwrote her file. Tools like Microsoft's SharePoint server can go a long way toward helping a team work together better. Get started here.

Gearlog: Lenovo's Answer to the Air
While Lenovo's new ultraportable X300 series laptop isn't as "sexy" as the MacBook Air, it does offer a 13.3-inch LED backlit screen, Intel Merom Santa Rosa Dual Core CPU, and up to 4GB of memory all packed into a 2.5-pound frame. Visit Gearlog.com for all the details on Lenovo's latest ultraportable.

Security Watch: Vista Security on Its First Birthday
It's just about a year since Windows Vista came out and Microsoft's celebrating its security record. There have been several big steps forward--most of them quite valid. Head over to Security Watch to read up on what's improved in Vista's security over the last year.

Plus: Anti-Malware Performance Testing
