MacScan 2 Review   4

Macworld team

While Windows users face the possibility of viral infection every time they download a file from the internet, Mac viruses are so rare that some doubt they exist. That could be why so many forget that there are other security threats on the net. MacScan can help protect Mac owners from online threats.

Nikon D60 Review   4

Gavin Stoker

Nikon’s entry-level D40x has been reborn as the D60, which boasts a 10-megapixel maximum resolution and a dust-prevention system. This feature was sorely missing on the otherwise excellent D40x and now brings Nikon into line with competitors.

ConceptDraw Pro 7 Review   5 Editors Choice

Macworld team

ConceptDraw is a tricky pitch to newcomers. We’re used to a paradigm of design tools that neatly divides them into vector packages, bitmap editors, CAD and 3D modellers. ConceptDraw is probably best described as a plan-creation package – a tool for creating charts and diagrams.

Mark Hattersley and Jason Snell

It is possible to purchase a build-to-order MacBook Air with the faster, 1.8GHz processor but the 80GB PATA hard drive. Macworld takes a closer look in its MacBook Air 1.8GHz 80GB review.

First Look: Psytar Open Computer   0

James Galbraith

Because we think it’s informative to see how OS X performs on a computer that isn’t a Mac, Macworld ordered a Psystar Open Computer about a week or so ago. The machine, which Psystar touts as a low-cost alternative to Apple’s hardware, has arrived in our lab, where we plan to put it to the test.

zCover TypeOn Keyboard Protector Review   4

Macworld team

zCover is perhaps best known for making a living out of silicon-based skins for various products (iPhones, iPods, and other gadgetry). However, the company also does an interesting sideline in protective keyboard covers.

Freeway 5 Review   5 Editors Choice

Macworld team

The first version of Freeway, back in 1997, entered a drag-and-drop web authoring market with few real competitors. Adobe had PageMill, Macromedia had yet to launch Dreamweaver and Microsoft’s web strategy was still in flux. Back then, we lauded Freeway for its design-centred approach to page building, offering a DTP style workflow aimed squarely at non-coders.

Power Manager 3 Review   4

Macworld team

It’s more important than ever to conserve energy. The common-sense solution would be to simply turn off your machine when it’s not in use. UK company DssW has had an even better idea – its Power Manager 3 software switches your Mac on and off for you.

Firmtek Seritek/5PM Review   5 Editors Choice

Cliff Joseph

Firmtek’s SeriTek/5PM enclosure is an excellent option for users in fields such as audio or video-editing who want to use RAID systems to improve performance or provide additional data security. And, usefully, it also supports JBOD – ‘just a bunch of disks’ – so that you can simply add lots of external hard disks to your Mac system.

Since its acquisition by X-Rite last year, Pantone now offers a dazzling and occasionally perplexing array of colour measurement and management tools. Everyone from serious enthusiast to dedicated pro is catered for. The Pantone Color Cue 2 is aimed at a broad range of professional users, and attempts to take the guesswork out of colour matching and identification.

Microsoft Expression Media Review   3

Cliff Joseph

Expression Media is based on iView, an old Mac program that Microsoft bought way back in 2006. It’s an asset-management program that allows you to catalogue and organise large collections of digital media files.

OmniFocus 1.0 Review   4

Dan Miller

Managing to-dos is a very personal thing. Some people deploy elaborate project-management systems to make sure they get everything done. Others just jot down their day’s tasks on the nearest scrap of paper. Most of us are somewhere in between. For the in-betweeners, there's OmniFocus.

BannerZest Pro Review   5 Editors Choice

Karl Hodge

No regular web user is particularly keen on banners; especially the noisy, animated type that distract you from browsing. While it’s possible to use BannerZest Pro to create exactly the type of intrusive advertising that makes people reach for an imaginary sledgehammer, it’s much more than that.
