Review Roundup: The Best Media Extenders
It's no rarity these days for much of your music, movie, and photo library to reside in one place: your computer. Problem is, we often want to watch video and listen to music on a bigger screen and with better sound. That's where a media extender can save the day. These smart devices help you easily get music, video, and photos from the Web and your PC to your TV. Read all the reviews on PCMag.com.
Utility Download: Control Your Clipboard
Do you ever wish you could backtrack through the Windows clipboard to retrieve a recently copied item? Or wish you could quickly paste items that you use over and over again? ClipTrak Pro, an update to our top-notch clipboard manager, lets you do just that. Download it now on PCMag.com.
Review: Our Favorite Home Wireless Router
If the price doesn't put you off, you'll find that the D-Link Xtreme N Duo Media Router (aka the DIR-855) makes an excellent home or business wireless-n router, thanks to loads of features and standout performance. How much sticker shock should you prepare yourself for? Read the full review to find out, and get more details on how it fared on our PC Mag Labs tests.
Review: A Well-Crafted Point-and-Shooter
Picking out a "my first" digital camera doesn’t necessarily mean you have to skimp on features--or expect a rock-bottom price, for that matter. Despite its heft and slow response times, this pricey point-and-shooter offers an impressive range of features for an entry-level digital camera. See how it did in our hands-on testing.
Feature: PC Mag Staff's Must-Have Tech

If the PC Mag staff were stranded on a remote island, these are the tech products we'd most want to have.

Ulanoff: Lose the Optical Drive in Laptops
It's no secret: We want our laptops small and light. In order to achieve that, though, we need to make some concessions--namely, our optical drives. A few years back such a thing seemed unthinkable. But today, as Lance Ulanoff points out, we don’t need a spinning drive to install software, watch movies, burn CDs, and run emergency discs anymore. Check out his column to see why.

Tell us your thoughts on the following topics:
Anti-P2P Group Takes Down Revision3 Site
The chief executive of online video network Revision3 on Thursday accused MediaDefender, an anti-P2P contractor, of taking down the company's video-distribution operations over the Memorial Day weekend. What do you make of the accusations?
FCC May Sell Spectrum If Buyer Provides Free Broadband
Federal Communications Commission Chairman Kevin Martin is proposing to auction an unused piece of 25-MHz wireless spectrum, with the condition that the winning bidder offer free Internet access and filter out obscene content on part of those airwaves, a spokesman for the FCC said last Thursday. Do you think any providers will go for it?
Dvorak: Blu-ray Bashing Blues
Dvorak wonders whether anyone else has noticed the almost incredible barrage of bad news regarding Blu-ray and the future of optical disc formats. The way Dvorak sees it, it's never-ending--and everyone is caught up in what (conservatively) can be called piling on or (liberally) mass hysteria. Are you on the same page as Dvorak?
