In our search for the perfect combination of size and performance, we came up with the X-Note series -notebooks
that make no compromises. Starting with an Intel Centrino processor, we added one of the brightest LCD screens

Now, virtual office doesn’t have to mean virtual performance.

 Of the Mind
Digital SLR?
While most people looking to buy adigital camera will be perfectly
happy with apoint-and-shoot model -they’re easy-to-use, provide ade¬
quate resolution for most circumstances, and aren’t too expensive -
those more familiar with 35mm SLR cameras may have ahankering
for something with more manual control. Thankfully, there’s anew gen¬
eration of Digital SLR cameras aimed at the photo-sawy consumer or
”pro-sumer.”
SLR is short for Single Lens Reflex. This style of camera uses aseries of
mirrors to redirect whatever the lens "sees” back up into the optical
viewfinder on the back of the camera. This allows photographers to
frame shots precisely: what you see is what you get. By contrast, many
point-and-shoot cameras use aseparate lens for the optical viewfinder
(which means you’re seeing something slightly different from your final
photo), or an LCD viewfinder [which can make it difficult to focus).
Digital SLRs can’t display an image preview on their LCD screens, how¬
ever. The shutter has to be open to move the mirror assembly [reflect¬
ing images through aprism and to the user’s eye) for light to hit the
image plane. This also means that movie mode is out.
With apoint-and-shoot model, photographers are generally stuck with
whatever lens the camera came with, whether or not it’s suited to the
shot at hand. With adigital SLR, you can quickly and easily swap the
standard lens for afisheye lens, azoom lens or whatever else you have
in the camera bag.
Even better, in many cases the lenses that worked with an old-school
SLR camera can be used with the digital versions offered by the same
manufacturer. The main thing to note here is that the new lenses
designed for digital SLR models have extra functionality [autofocus
capabilities and the ability to report to the camera which settings were
used most notably), while compatible old-school lenses have to be
used manually.
Manual control over the image is another highlight. With the flip of afin¬
ger it’s possible to adjust your focus point, change your shutter speed
or aperture to the settings you want instead of what the camera thinks
you want, and to zoom in without waiting for amotor. When you’re
ready to take the shot, digital SLRs are fast... there’s almost no lag time
between hitting the shutter button and capturing the image. Here’s a
small selection of digital SLR’s we’ve had the chance to test out.
Canon Digital Rebel
B HUB: Digital Living
Canon Digital Rebel
w w w . c a n o n . c a
Estimated price: $1,100 (body only); $1,300 (with 18-55mm lens)
The Digital Rebel is one of the most popular and the most affordable of the
digital SLR models; that’s not acoincidence. Its affordability is no doubt
partly due to its use of a6.3 megapixel CMOS sensor instead of aCCD;
nonetheless, the image quality is excellent. It also features adesign that’s
... well, more fun than the other models. The downside is that, while you
can manually focus, the focus ring on many of the lenses is little more
than aridge at the very end of the lens barrel... not so easy to grab if
you’re in ahurry. Those inclined to use auto-focus instead will find the
lower price of the Digital Rebel very tempting.
Nikon D?0
w w w. n i k o n . c a
Estimated price: $1,450 (body oniy); $1,900 (with 18-70mm iens)
Armed with adesign familiar to anyone coming from the film-based SLR
world, the D70 is definitely digital, with a6.1-megapixel sensor onboard.
The camera is compatible with several decades’ worth of lenses from
Nikon’s Fline of analogue cameras. Even with the slightly higher price of
the camera body, you may well make up the difference in cheaper used
lenses. No surprise that the camera performs up to expectations: the
images are excellent and the camera is fast ...a winning combination.
Olympus E-1
www.olympus.com
Estimated price: $1,800 (body oniy)
Designed digital from the ground up, the pro-sumer E-1 system will force
you to buy acompletely new set of lenses .That said, the E-1 uses a5.5-
megapixel 4/3rds-size sensor that’s specifically designed to work with
said lenses ... no compromise and no distortion. The redesign of the image
path also means the E-l’s lenses are smaller and lighter than traditional
lenses -a200mm E-1 lens has roughly equivalent telephoto capabilities
as a400mm standard lens -which means the ability to equip yourself
with the lenses you need without weighing yourself down too much.
Those looking for acheaper all-digital SLR may want to wait until the
launch of Olympus’s E-300 Evolt model, an 8megapixel consumer-orient¬
ed model due in December.

It's been arough few years for New York City's TechXNY show. Following its name change from
PC Expo, the show's been bumped from summer into the fail, and suffered an attendance hit
after the 9/11 attacks in New York,

While the show has regained abit of its momentum, it's still struggling to look like arelevant
technology tradeshow; it was perhaps telling that the show -which used to take up agood per¬
centage of the Jacob davits Convention Center -was outshined this year by ahome show and a
fabric expo in other parts of the building.
It's also abad omen that one of the largest booths was rented not by atechnology company
but by Johnny Walker, there solely to hold hourly Scotch tastings. It was almost certainly ahigh¬
light for many of the attendees who probably wondered why they bothered coming at all, after
seeingthesparsenessoftheexhibits.Perhapstheywerejustfeelingnervousaboutthesizeof

Pretty much every piece of photography or imaging gear you buy comes
with two or three discs of software. It’s great forgetting started, but even¬
tually you'll start bumping into the limitations.
When you check the software rack for more-powerful alternatives, you’ll
findtwoleadingcontenders:PhotoshopElements3.0,fromAdobe($140)
and Image Suite 10, from Microsoft ($190).They're both friendly and pow¬
erful, but with adistinct difference in character. What they have in com¬
mon, though, are several main functions.
First, indexing and retrieval of images. Both Photoshop Elements and
Digital Image Suite create acentral image catalog, allowing you to
categorize and search your photos, or archive them onto CD- or DVD-
recordable discs.
Second, editing. Your camera’s software probably does "red-eye” reduc¬
tion, but there’s aworld of other possibilities, from sharpening the focus to
erasingannoyingpowerlinesfromtheskyline.PhotoshopElementsand
DigitalImageSuitegiveyouanarsenalofpowerfulpaintingtoolstomake

And third, output: not just printing your images so as to take best advan¬
Photoshop Elements 3.0
Photoshop Elements 3.0 provides the functions you’d expect in atradi¬
tionalimage-editingpackage,butit’smuchfriendlierandwithapowerful
image browser and some handy extra modules thrown in.
The browser (formerly the separate Photoshop Album) lets you easily tag
thumbnail images by dragging category names onto them. You can also
group similar images into Stacks, keep multiple edits of an image as a
Version Set, or assemble image Collections that you can later output
together.
The editor has been streamlined, with more guided procedures and online
tutorials. Yet many commands remain true to the professional version of
Photoshop, areal benefit if you ever decide to step up.
Adobe’s Healing Brush tool is now included, for intelligently erasing dust
marks or facial blemishes. Quick Fix view combines common adjustments
such as brightness, color and sharpness, and adds aSmart Fix tool that
can usually guess what
needs to be done.

If you're reading this, chances are you’re in the market for anew
digital camera.
After all, these swank new “digicams” are dropping in price all the time,
while new features are being implemented such as higher megapixels,
better optical zoom and smarter software that can make clumsy point-
and-shoot users look closer to aprofessional shutterbug.
Problem is, with so many cameras on the market, it can be overwhelm¬
ing to choose one that best suits your needs -and wallet. And when it
comes to technology, we all have that fear of buying something that will
be obsolete in ayear.
So, consider this feature abrief look at afew new digital cameras on the
market -each one offering something unique. Be aware prices may vary
slightly between national or local retailers, so do your homework!

The Nikon Coolpix 5100 houses aclever feature called the “Best Shot
Selector.” The camera takes aseries of shots in rapid-fire succession
then automatically picks and stores the clearest one out of the bunch.
Couple this with Nikon's effective image stabilizing system and you may
not see another blurry shot again. What's more, this 5.1-megapixel cam-

In the House

tale of two cameras
When our six year-old headed off to camp last summer, acamera seemed
ust as essential as sunscreen and bug spray.
Since there was no way Marika was taking the family’s digital unit, we
30ught her atoss-away. Much to our surprise, even little campers find the
jld point-and-shoot process unsatisfying these days. There's the shoddy
!|uality, but worse -if by the age of six you already know what it means to
shoot and review, then shooting blind (read: no digital review) is well, not
“ven real photography,
admit awave of nostalgia passes over me on those rare occasions when I
see someone unpack astack of glossy double prints. But Irelax when Isee
the price; even more so when Ihear, "Here’s the ONE really good picture
[out of 3G)I”
With Marika’s birthday approaching, Istarted thinking back to when I
turned seven. My grandfather gifted me aMinolta 16 Ps. Aquick google
search reveals it was one of several Ps versions and slightly dated by the
time Igot it in 19?1 (Hm! And Ithough it was off-the-shelf).
The tiny camera took black and white images and had special, expensive
Film cartridges, which initially had to be mailed in for processing. If I
remember correctly, we got them back in about six weeks.
On the flip side, the camera was extremely easy to use. Best of all... Ihad
acamera! The first picture was one my grandfather took of me; the second
was the one Itook of him. The rest of the roll featured my younger sisters
climbing atree; all you could see were the branches.
These decades-old experiences formed the context for our search today.
We needed acamera for our daughter that would meet the demands of a
childphotographer,andparentsnotwillingtomakeseveredigitalcompro¬
mises(ifthepicture’snogood,what'sthepoint?).Ihadreviewedenough
so-called digital kids' cameras to know many are just digital toss-aways.
Wefoundadigitalequivalentofmyfirstcamera;easy-to-use,and2mil¬
lion megapixels -that’s the modern day image size of my first Minolta.
Refurbished, it’s one of the better, cheaper, digital cameras still available.
The first "virtual” picture was one Marika took of me; the next was the one
Itook of Marika. Next comes aseries of images featuring her sisters.
Sound familiar?
Of course the big question, now that we have the camera and the pictures
are being shot is what happens next? When Iproposed this article to
HUB’S editor Iimagined taking Marika through day-by-day explorations of
the wonders of digital photography. You know -editing images, printing,
create virtual postcards -all the things adults never have time for.
Which, as it turns out, is exactly why Marika’s not into it either, at least not
yet. Although her interest was piqued by the fact she could put aheart-
shaped frame around an image and print off pictures before heading off to
abirthday party, the biggest thrill, it seems, is in the shoot itself. And of
course, the chance to review and delete. [I have to laugh when Marika’s
three year-old sister requests to “see” what’s been taken. On-the-go edit¬
ing is part of the photography process now).
Although Iregret not having printed out Marika’s youngest sister’s baby
photos (which does cause some sibling angst), and though Ido love
albums, Ijust can’t press myself, nor my daughter, to follow through the
traditional post-picture taking process.
Iwas hoping we could get some help from Marika’s grandmother, who has
not given up on film, but has been bitten by the wowl-you-crop-it-and-l’ll-
bring-the-disk-in-for-developing bug.

scape/night time/action, and many cameras also allow the user to manu¬
ally adjust certain settings just like on some analog cameras -such as
shutter speed, lens aperture, and light metering.
In practical terms, elements such as size [cameras range from compact
to large); battery type and life (some have their own rechargeable battery
packs while others use the readily available disposable or rechargeable AA
batteries); and ahandy, secure grip are also things to consider when buy¬
ing acamera. Some cameras also feature compensation for users with
eyeglasses. Another thing you need to remember is to make sure that
your computer has the required USB port for transferring your photos, and
that the software will be
compatible with your com¬
puter’s operating system.
Another important point to
consider is the size and
type of storage media. For
an explanation of the vari¬
ous media types see:

Decision time
For me, the decision about
which camera to buy came
down to two questions:
what was Igoing to use it
for and how much could I
wanted to print as well as email my photos so Ineeded at least the aver¬
age megapixel count. My budget was also afactor -like many before me I
shared in the time-honoured shopping goal of wanting to spend as little as
possible yet at the same time, Iwanted to get acamera that Iwouldn’t
have to replace in acouple of years.
In the end Isettled for acamera with an average resolution of 3.2
megapixels, 3X optical zoom, and asize that was semi-compact. Idecided
to go with one that had the controls on the dial as Icould see myself
becoming impatient with the LCD screen for choosing options. The camera
Ipicked has both automatic and manual settings, including some fun
options like apanoramic setting that allows the user to take three shots in
arow and stitch them together, as well as the ability to shoot up to three
minute movies. While Ithought of this last feature as anice frivolous extra
that I’d never use, it turned out to be agreat perk and Imade five little
movies in my first weekend as adigital camera owner (mostly serious
documentary work featuring my cat). While that was the bonus of my pur¬
chase, more disappointing was the fact that Irealized I’d also have the
extra expense of buying an additional memory card, as the one that came
with my camera would only store 12 pictures.
In my search for the right place and the right price Iasked friends and
colleagues for suggestions, borrowed my Dad’s Consumer Reports maga¬
zine to compare brands, went online to some camera review sites like
www.dpreview.com, and visited some stores to get advice. Yet my main
guide in choosing acamera was amoment of thoughtful reflection about
what exactly Iwanted to use the camera for. After that the decision
was easy.

Building the Ultimate Gaming PC

Part One

The Ultimate Gaming PC: the phrase alone raises goose bumps, imagine we need aCD/DVD-ROM drive for loading games; one that can burn CDs
amachine built for maximum power and speed with jaw-dropping good and DVDs as well [in the more popular DVD formats, if possible) would be
looks -if computers were cars, this PC would be aFerrari. nice. Also critical are highly precise peripherals such as awired mouse,
It's fun to fantasize about building your own Ultimate Gaming PC ... but joystick, and keyboard. Wireless mice are generally abad idea: we don't
should the average human being actually attempt to do so? If your want to miss amove due to afailed connection, or worse, dead batteries.
answer is “yes,” then this new HUB series is for you. We call it “Building
the Ultimate Gaming PC”, and for good reason: over the next five issues,
we will design, assemble, and troubleshoot our Ultimate Gaming PC.
Of course, before we can start building our Dream Machine, we must
decide what we need to create it.

First, we need the fastest CPU [Central Processing Unit) chip and moth¬
erboard that we can lay our hands on; backed by lots and lots of memory.
Ideally, we want to be able to “overclock” the CPU: this means making the
chip run quicker than its rated speed. Warning: better make sure that our
system has sufficient cooling to handle the excess heat generated by
overclocking, or the CPU could melt.
We also need the best video card we can find -one loaded with lots of

onboard memory and processing power -in order to generate and 30

gaming graphics without slowing down our system. In the world of multi¬
player gaming -whether at aLAN party [where everyone brings their
gaming PCs and hooks them together; hence the need for acool-looking
machine) or online over the Web -speed counts, and lack of speed can
be fatal.

Speaking of speed, fast hard drives are amust for successful gaming.
The faster our drives can feed data, the faster our PC will go. In addition.

in the House

To round out the Ultimate Gaming PC, we will need adecent sound card
linked to either a5.1 surround sound speaker system or astereo gaming
headset and of course, an excellent monitor. Let's not forget the power
supply either: without enough juice to support all our devices, the system
just won’t run. In addition, we need anetwork-friendly operating system,
and the best games we can find.
Did we miss anything? Yes: to create an Ultimate Gaming PC that fits the
name, we need amodified case dressed up with lots of lights and custom¬
looking designs. Appearance counts: when we’re up against the best at a
LAN party, we want acool-looking Ultimate Gaming PC.
These are the design requirements for the Ultimate Gaming PC that we’re
going to build. Based on these specs, we have been making the rounds of
computer manufacturers and vendors, asking them to provide the very
best components for this project. Fortunately, they have done just that,
as you’ll see by looking over the Ultimate Gaming PC parts that we’ve col¬
lected to date.
The heart of our system is the CPU: to do the job, Intel [www.intel.com]
hassuppliedascorchingly-fast3.6GHzPentium4PCIExpress(PCI-E)
‘Alderwood’ chip. PCI-E effectively doubles the data throughput of the chip
-important during game-playing -by using two data pathways, rather
than the traditional one. Intel has also provided us with an Intel D925XCV
motherboard; according to www.digit-iife.com, "At present this is the top
motherboard from this company.” But is it the best for the job? ABIT
(http://abit.com) doesn’t think so: that's why they are supplying with an
AA8 DuraMAX motherboard; it comes equipped with //Guru, which allows
you to reset CPU clock speeds and monitors hardware performance. I’ll be

as most other online print ordering services. As aresult, the photo ordering
process is unintuitive.
We had problems navigating the site to place an order and encountered
technical problems on anumber of occasions when initiating uploads -
though when uploads work they are comparatively fast.
Once users figure out how to work their way through the site, Wal-Mart
Photo Centre Online offers asurprising number of features. The picture edit¬
ing software is more than adequate, and it automatically provides resolu¬
tion detection and print size recommendations. Perhaps the best feature is
the free My Photo Site creator, which allows users to create their own photo
gallery Web site with awide variety of customization options -even pass¬
word protection so strangers can't view personal photos.
While the site doesn't offer any apparent introductory offers, Wal-Mart has
the best price of any service we saw, with 4x6 prints priced at $0.25 each.
Wal-Mart won't deliver photos to your door, but most brick and mortar loca¬
tions offer next day pick up, and aselect few locations in four provinces

through afew sim¬
ple steps to complete an order. The fact that thumbnails are automatically
displayed as users browse for pictures makes photo selection abreeze.
Shutterfly also impresses with fast upload speeds; around six seconds for
a400 KB photo.
The Shutterfly software provides arobust selection of simple editing fea¬
tures, including effects such as soft focus and black and white as well as
precise red eye reduction controls. It also allows users to place lengthy
messages on the backs of prints.
4x6 prints start at US$0.22 (approx.$0.28). Shutterfly offers the best intro¬
ductory offer we saw: 15 free prints. They also offer periodic promotions; the
one that was up in our tests was afree 5x2 print with orders over US$10.
Prints are shipped for US$3.99 (approx. $5) within two days, but can take
up to eight business days to arrive (though ours were delivered to Toronto,
ON in four). The wait might be lengthy but it proves worthwhile. The prints
we received were beautiful, matching the quality of AOLs MotoPhoto prints

Shutterfly equaled or outperformed the other services we tried in terms of
quality, price, and ease of use. Assuming the lengthy delivery period is tol¬
erable, Shutterfly is the best bet of the sites tested.

order afew prints before heading off to Wal-Mart for acheap-stuff shopping
trip. Wal-Mart was the hands down winner for speed and price.
The quality of the prints we received was average. No defects were immedi¬
ately apparent, and the colours appeared vibrant. Closer inspection and
comparison revealed that prints from AOL and Shutterfly were slightly
cleaner and brighter, but not by asignificant margin.

Photography Tutorial
Filters for effects the old fashioned way

The photographic filter has long been an important tool, but in this era of end¬
less digital special effects you might be thinking that it’s become arelic from
analogue times. To some extent that’s true. The digital camera’s built-in white Canon PowerShot GS equipped with Cokin's Shoe Hoider
balance system has reduced the need for temperature-
compensating filters, while the image effects you can
apply even with an inexpensive image editor rival what
you can achieve with afilter. Moreover, software-gener¬
ated effects can be undone, whereas you’re stuck with
the effect that afilter produces -like it or not -since it
is recorded as part of the original frame.
But filters are still handy, and just because you’ve gone
digital that’s no reason to ignore their potential benefits.
One of the most useful is the polarizing filter, which sat¬
urates colours and reduces or eliminates glare and
reflections. If you like to take pictures of sea critters at
the beach, for example, the polarizing filter is the best
way to reduce the glare from the surface of the water.
Graduated density filters are also useful for scenes with
two areas of extreme contrast -dark forest and bright
sky, for example. Normally you’d have to wash out the
sky to properly expose the forest, or send the forest into
dark shade to properly expose the sky. The graduated density filter kicks
down the brightness of the sky so the entire scene can be properly exposed.
Other useful filters include UV filters that reduce the haze noticeable with

objects in the distance and various diffusion filters that give aflattering glow

However, gamers with an eye to following the story can follow yellow

striking up conversations with townsfolk and taking on side quests,
gamers will be hard pressed to find more than 20 hours of gameplay.
Fortunately, the majority of the 20 hours is solid.
Fable is unique in that choices made in the game and even agamer’s play¬
ing preference has adirect impact on the game world and the characters
in it. If gamers choose the sword, the lead character will gradually develop
muscles and will, with persistence, be ahulking warrior. On the other hand,
choosing sorcery as the primary means of combat will result in askinnier
character with iridescent skin and higher intelligence.
Townsfolk will also react differently to the lead character. If gamers choose
the path of righteousness, the character takes on asaintly glow and
townsfolk will adore him. Choose evil and he takes on areddish cast, devil
horns begin to sprout and the eyes take on an icy glare. Then, the towns¬
folk’s reverence turns to fear.
