Review: Firefox Is Still Tops
We've always loved the Firefox browser and cooed about its add-ons and plug-ins and speedy, efficient browsing. With the release of Firefox 3, there's even more to love. With its predictive location bar, vastly improved speed and memory usage, and best-of-breed security and standards support, Firefox 3 leaves little to be desired. Take the full tour in the PCMag.com review.

Review: Luxury Trumps Performance in This Laptop
ASUS has an ultraportable laptop for every budget, ranging from the über-affordable EeePC 900 to the glamorous U1F. ASUS's U2E-A2B packs an internal optical drive and a 32GB SSD that push the price up into the luxury range. The leather fixtures and 2.7-pound frame befit the $2,499 (list) you'd pay for this laptop. Take a peek on PCMag.com.

@Work: Secure Your VoIP
One thing that hasn't gotten a lot of attention is VoIP security. Anything that runs over the Web--as VoIP does--has security issues, which means it should be no huge surprise that VoIP needs special attention when it comes to security. And, naturally, security should be an even bigger concern for SMBs than for home users. But what can you do to amp up your VoIP security? Head over to PCMag.com's @Work blog to find out.
Dvorak Online: What's a Platform, Anyway?
We used to think of computing platforms and operating systems interchangeably—Mac OS X, Linux, and Windows are all platforms, for sure. But the amount of time that people are spending in online communities like Facebook and MySpace has made John C. Dvorak rethink that old definition. Can you consider these sites to be platforms?
