Adobe CS 5.5 InDesign – Review Part 1
I begin this review with a caveat. Adobe loves the word ‘professional.’ I mean really! Their CS Suites are for professionals, and I can tell you right now, those people will leave me in the dust with their skills. But I am here to say that we ordinary people will love CS InDesign 5.5. This review is in two parts. The first will cover basic publications, PDFs, booklets, and the useful controls and workspaces that pertain to the print world. The second part will zero in on interactive publications, including the very lucrative and expanding field of ePub.

At first you may ask why do I need an app for the iPad which delivers YouTube content? Doesn’t Apple already have a built in YouTube app? You would be correct in this statement.

iFlash LED Flashlight
Review
When Apple launched the iPhone 4 with an LED light, I was envious as that feature was lacking on my iPhone 3GS. Photographs on my iPhone 3GS were often dark and unsalvageable. That problem is no longer applicable thanks to a nifty LED device by Gadgets and Gear.

Review
MicroMat’s TechTool Pro has been one of the leaders in Macintosh disk diagnosis and repair for many years. At one time, TechTool was even marketed by Apple as a part of AppleCare. It clearly is one of the disk maintenance and repair heavy hitters, with its main competition being ProSoft’s Drive Genius, and Alsoft’s Disk Warrior.
