• Data Recovery - Put to the Test   [Review, TheTechLounge]
  Data recovery. Chances are if you use a computer often, you have data stored on some storage medium that is valuable to you. Valued data can range between an e-mail, a word document, a picture file, a floor plan, website design and code - anything that can be stored as data on a storage medium. Not too long ago, I saw an article in TIME magazine that talked about a company that was recovering data from hard drives that had been put through, let’s say, unusual circumstances. One hard drive was shot with a pistol, and the data recovery company was successfully able to pull the data from the drive, or at least what was left of it.

• Dell Media Experience Review   [Review, WinSuperSite]
  Over eighteen months ago, when I received my first preview of Freestyle, the technology that became Microsoft Windows XP Media Center Edition (XP MCE), an obvious question arose: How would Microsoft deliver this exciting front-end to digital media tasks such as digital video recording (DVR), digital photos, digital music, and digital video to customers? At the time, Microsoft told me that it had not yet determined how it would distribute Freestyle. But after the software evolved into XP MCE, Microsoft had an answer: It would ship only with a special new type of PC the company called Media Center PCs, and it would not be made available to existing Windows XP users.

  Windows XP Media Center Edition 2004 is one of the stealthiest major software releases Microsoft has ever released. Several months in the making, and several beta machines later, I'm still surprised that the company didn't do anything throughout 2003 to build excitement for the new version, which ships September 30, 2003 with a variety of new and modified Media Center PCs from a number of PC makers, including notable new additions Sony and Dell. In this review, I'll examine the new software release, its myriad new features, and the various other supporting technologies that are becoming available now to Media Center owners for the first time.

• DVD X Copy and DVD X Copy XPress   [Review, Bjorn3d]
  Most movies don't actually seem to utilize the full capacity of a dual-layer DVD; however, they often use more than 4.7 GB of data, which means two discs would be needed any way. DVD X Copy XPress attempts to alleviate this problem by compressing the data to make it fit on one disc. I will also examine the standard DVD X Copy, which allows for a complete and perfect copy of a DVD movie, according to 321.
