Brain Training Unotan is a series of brainteaser mini games that aims to develop and entertain your noggin. I can't attest to the former, but Unotan has surprising success with the latter. http://www.itworld.com/personal-tech/84161/brain-train-unotan-iphone#comments Personal tech Product review Mon, 09 Nov 2009 20:09:46 -0500 ITworld staff 84161 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/hardware/84156/lenovo-thinkpad-sl510-2847-22u Lenovo's new SL510 won't surprise anyone who has used a ThinkPad before--it's an excellent laptop that's oriented entirely toward no-nonsense use. The matte black housing, the iconic nub in the middle of the keyboard, and the deep-set keypad are all comfortingly familiar, as are its black, boxy looks, with the familiar "ThinkPad" logo on the top of the case's corner. The machine's lightweight feel is surprising but welcome. It's the return of an efficient, gifted friend--a friend who is now marginally less awkward at social events. And it'll set you back $889 (as of 11/9/2009). http://www.itworld.com/hardware/84156/lenovo-thinkpad-sl510-2847-22u#comments Hardware Product review Mon, 09 Nov 2009 19:40:04 -0500 ITworld staff 84156 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/software/84010/review-sharepoint-server-2010-beta-pulls-it-all-together Microsoft's SharePoint Server 2010 is a significant improvement over SharePoint 07, providing IT execs with multiple ways to streamline their infrastructure and cut costs. http://www.itworld.com/software/84010/review-sharepoint-server-2010-beta-pulls-it-all-together#comments Business intelligence Software Product review collaboration enterprise search SharePoint Server Mon, 09 Nov 2009 13:27:37 -0500 ITworld staff 84010 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/hardware/84069/3-windows-7-touch-screen-laptops Touch-screen notebooks are nothing new, especially in the realm of handheld smartphones and PDAs, but due to disappointing hardware and the lack of OS support, they've remained a small market niche for business notebooks and desktop systems. http://www.itworld.com/hardware/84069/3-windows-7-touch-screen-laptops#comments Hardware Product review Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:09:51 -0500 ITworld staff 84069 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/software/84059/mount-disk-images-virtual-cddvd-drives-with-gizmo-drive I expected Gizmo Drive (free) to be something like WinCDEmu, which sits quietly in the background and allows you to mount images as virtual CD/DVD drives. In the end, that's part of what Gizmo Drive turned out to be--but before that I was taken for a ride to a little world which I'm going to call Gizmo Land. Installing Gizmo Drive requires that you download the Gizmo software suite, which includes Gizmo Central (or Manager once it's installed) Gizmo Drive, Gizmo Script, Gizmo Database. Gizmo Editor, and Gizmo Hasher. There's also a Gizmo toolbar that sits in the system tray and provides shortcut access to programs (not just Gizmo modules). It's only 8MB in total, and some of it's pretty handy--but this is about Gizmo Drive. http://www.itworld.com/software/84059/mount-disk-images-virtual-cddvd-drives-with-gizmo-drive#comments Software Product review Mon, 09 Nov 2009 11:39:56 -0500 ITworld staff 84059 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/personal-tech/84029/netflix-instant-streaming-sony-ps3-review Last Friday Sony PS3 owners received their Instant Streaming Discs.

Microsoft claims SharePoint Server is the fastest growing product in company history, which is saying a lot. But it's not easy to pin down, since SharePoint focuses on six diverse areas: collaboration, portal, search, enterprise content management (ECM), business process management and business intelligence. http://www.itworld.com/software/84011/ten-things-you-need-know-about-sharepoint-server-2010#comments Software Product review Mon, 09 Nov 2009 01:40:12 -0500 ITworld staff 84011 at http://www.itworld.com http://www.itworld.com/personal-tech/83861/verizons-droid-launch-your-complete-guide Can you feel the tremors?
