Digital cameras are the hottest gifts this holiday season. We know you're buying them for yourself, your friends, and your family. Tell us in the forums what you're getting (makes, models, megapixels) for whom and why. http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1292-1-53-371668-124991-0-0-0-1 IN THIS ISSUE: * Dvorak Online: A Curmudgeon's Gift Guide * Reviews: Triumph Over the 1040 * Solutions: Quick and Easy Web Sites with Publisher * Review Roundup: Digital Cameras--The Best from the Best * Review: Laplink Connects You * Product News: Gateway M210 series * Daily Gift Ideas ============================================================ Dvorak Online: A Curmudgeon's Gift Guide Columnist John C. Dvorak is one tough nut--until the holidays, when his warm, gooey center appears, and instead of complaining, he does something magnanimous. This year, for example, he suggests great holiday gifts and wonderful places to find them. Once he finishes helping the world with his spot-on buying advice, we expect he'll return to his cranky old self. http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1292-1-53-371668-124994-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ Reviews: Triumph Over the 1040 Today's tax preparation applications are so sophisticated, they interview you to find out which forms you need and how you should, with the software helping, complete them. The choices are almost uniformly good--but there are differences. And with something as important as your taxes, you want to make the right choice. We've tested all the leading desktop products and chosen the best of the bunch. Read our full reviews of TaxACT, TaxCut, and TurboTax. (We also take a look at some of the other tax preparation options offered by each company.) http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1292-1-53-371668-124997-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ Solutions: Quick and Easy Web Sites with Publisher Although Microsoft Publisher 2003 may be one of the easier applications for creating newsletters, brochures, and greeting cards, it has more power than people realize. One of its least-known talents is the ability it gives you to create simple Web content--not just single-page affairs, but professional multipage sites with simple navigation. We show you how to exercise this hidden talent and we even offer tips that help you extend Publisher's capabilities. http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1292-1-53-371668-125000-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ Review Roundup: Digital Cameras--The Best from the Best Some months ago, we asked our print magazine readers to rate their digital cameras. The extensive information we collected gave us a comprehensive look at the digital camera industry and a very clear picture of the companies that build the best products. Now we've collected the top offerings from the makers--Canon, Nikon, and Panasonic--whose cameras, made in the last year, you said were the best. Read our collection of reviews, and you may end up finding the perfect gift. http://ct.enews.pcmag.com/rd/cts?d=184-1292-1-53-371668-125003-0-0-0-1 ============================================================ Review: Laplink Connects You Laplink Gold 12 is a versatile remote control app that lets you connect to another PC over almost any kind of connection.
