The Worst Tech Products of Spring 2008
We get as excited as the next geek about new products and gadgets coming out. But here at PC Magazine, we also feel it is our responsibility to warn you about the duds that come through our doors. Take a look at our least-favorite tech of the last quarter.

The Best iPhone Alternative for the Top Network
The LG Dare is the best multimedia phone that Verizon Wireless has ever released, and it's certainly the most fun to use. Find out why we love this Editors' Choice handset so much.

This Flip is a Bit of a Flop
Pure Digital's original Flip Video, which launched late last year, changed the camcorder game, making it easy and affordable to shoot video for YouTube. The company's follow-up, the Flip Mino, boasts a smaller footprint, a sleeker design, and better speakers. However, it's still hard to justify the price bump for a product whose low cost is so central to its appeal. Get the picture in our hands-on review.

How Secure is Your Company?
If you're a small business owner, you probably have so many concerns that your company's security isn't necessarily at the forefront of your thoughts. But, it should be. As they always say, an ounce of proactive network security is worth a pound of clean-up. Learn more about protecting your business and the tools of the trade in our story.

The Top 10 Dvorak Columns of the Past Year
Can't wait to get your weekly dose of Dvorak? We've pulled together his top hits and biggest rants (along with the equally cantankerous reader responses) for your reading pleasure.

AppScout: A Visual Search Engine with Style
For general, shot-in-the-dark searches, your standard search engine will work just fine. But if you know specifically what you're looking for, whether it's that obscure track or a recipe involving summer squash, Viewz's customizable views will help you surf more effectively. Take a closer look on AppScout.com.

GoodCleanTech: Sharp Showcases Solar-Powered Energy Efficient LCD TV
Sure, Sharp's newly unveiled 26-inch energy efficient LCD TV prototype consumes only a third the energy of the average LCD TV, but that's not the cool part. This set comes with its own solar-power module to help it function completely off the grid. Check it out on GoodCleanTech.com.
