When scrolling through websites, have you noticed anything different in your browser lately?

There you will learn if the site you are visiting is “Secure” (using the prefix HTTPS, for Hypertext Transfer Protocol Secure) or “Not Secure” (using the prefix HTTP, for Hypertext Transfer Protocol).
The effort to create a secure online experience is nothing new. In fact, security was a concern long before the Internet became available to

The iPad Pro is something of a paradox, in that it is simultaneously a luxury item and a necessity. At first glance, this doesn’t appear to be the case. The Pro seems more like the Bugatti of tablets, a gorgeous vehicle that’s too costly and too much car for a population that can easily get by with a nice mid-range sedan. But after a few

Kodak teamed up with Smart International to create the Kodak Portrait 3D Printer. Designed to work in a variety of environments, ranging from the classroom to the office, Kodak outfitted the Portrait with a fully enclosed print chamber and an HEPA and activated carbon filter to reduce unpleasant odors and keep hands away from hot, moving parts. The printer chamber has a 7.9 x 7.9 x 9.3" build area. Inside the print chamber is a heated

The Wi-Fi Alliance has recently introduced the next generation of Wi-Fi connectivity, known as Wi-Fi 6, based on 802.11ax technology, along with a new naming convention. Most consumers are familiar with the 802.11 standards; however, this new sequential number rebranding is intended to simplify things in the long run. Previously, the naming design used the alphabet, starting with a to b to g and n, with each one representing the next generation. We'd expect z to be the last or fastest one, or until they have new names, but suddenly we're on

Back in 2010, I was working at a liquor store in Kansas. It was August, our second hottest month, and we were in the middle of a weeklong heatwave that kept temperatures around 100 degrees for days on end. The A/C in our store was busted, so I was cranky and uncomfortable and, generally speaking, not in the best mindset to deal with nuisances of any kind. Which is why, when a large fly landed on the screen of my Apple PowerBook G4, I, instead of wisely shooing it away, decided to punch said fly into oblivion—only to miss wildly and, of course,

Have you noticed your computer being slower than usual? Before you use this as an excuse to purchase a new laptop (we know it’s tempting), you might want to opt for a more cost-effective approach, which is cleaning out the hard drive (HDD). In a few simple steps, you can analyze and clean out your HDD to free up valuable storage space. Defragging your old HDD and properly formatting newly-installed SSDs will ensure that your computer doesn’t become bloated or sluggish.
Always Back up Your Data First
Before you start doing anything to your hard

There's a lot of tech that we don't understand, and consequently, a lot of tech that we don't need to understand. Do I need to know how a Hadron Collider works? Probably not. Do I need to understand that the CD tray in my desktop computer is not a coffee cup holder? Probably.
Most of us have an innate curiosity—developed when we were wee lads and lassies and thought that refrigerator gnomes existed to turn the fridge lights on and off—that spurs our need to know things. Perfect example: hard drives. We know they exist, we see them listed in

Say what you will about Wacom—this is one company that doesn’t rest on its laurels. One week after releasing the greatest creative tablet ever designed, Wacom was back at it, introducing yet another new product. This time it was an update of the popular Intuos line (available in Small and

Monitors, lately, have gotten a bit ridiculous. Not that that is a bad thing—I’m loving the latest 32" and greater 4K HDR sets that are making their way through the B&H offices. Practically speaking, though, most of us are perfectly content with an affordable screen that is a reasonable size and offers the color accuracy we need for photo editing. Stepping into this category, near perfectly, is the BenQ SW240 24" PhotoVue Monitor.

While huge screens are taking off lately, many of us still appreciate more manageable sizes and resolutions, as long as image quality is top notch. That is the appeal of BenQ’s latest photography-oriented display: the SW240 24.1" PhotoVue IPS Monitor. It stars BenQ’s AQCOLOR technology for “Accurate Reproduction,” one of the most critical features of any display during the editing process, and can cover up to 99% of Adobe RGB for more true-to-life

For digital artists, few names are as revered as Wacom. By bridging the gap between real-world illustration and digital, the company didn’t just change the game, it essentially invented a new one. Now, 20 years after the release of its first Intuos tablet, Wacom looks poised to shake up the market once again, this time with the newly unveiled Cintiq Pro 24. We happily got our hands on one for an in-the-field

Some of us are tech nerds; we love scanning the headlines for tech news and announcements, and then get giddy when we hear that a new processor is available on a mobile platform or new features are being added to an established brand that make the buying of a tablet even more desirable. But tablets have recently fallen out of favor

Memory cards—like memories—come and go all the time. Most people who shop for memory cards do so for storage, but there are many other reasons to buy a memory card. Here’s a short profile of some memory card shoppers, some recommendations, and even some tips on how to shop smart.
