DMG Canvas creates icons and folder background for CDs and DVDs on the Mac, letting you focus on the design and appearance rather than on the normally tedious process.

Wacom Intuos4 graphics tablets review
Widely lauded, Wacom's previous Intuos3 line of graphics introduced many innovations. The new Intuos4 line appears less innovative at first, but with use it quickly begins to shine.

Corel Painter 11 review
Instead to trying to take on the 800-pound gorilla that is Photoshop, Corel has stuck rigidly to Painter's core functionality – and at this is second to noe.

Apple's unibody 17-inch MacBook Pro review
It’s late but it’s worth it. The new 17-inch MacBook Pro gives Apple’s largest laptop the same ‘unibody’ makeover as the 15-inch range.
