KELLNER: Let there be Lightroom

The latest release of Adobe Corp.'s Lightroom photo management and manipulation software. It's called Lightroom 3 (and version 3.2 is waiting in the wings) and it's well worth the $299 retail price if you're at all serious about doing neat stuff with your pictures. Published August 10, 2010

KELLNER: New HP printer evokes yearnings of yore

KELLNER: Steve Ballmer’s slate dreams

Steve Ballmer, Microsoft Corp.'s CEO, is one of the brightest people I've ever encountered in computing. His comments Monday at the Walter E. Washington Convention Center certainly garnered attention: Microsoft's Windows 7 operating system, Mr. Ballmer declared, will soon power a line of devices that will compete with Apple's iPad.

KELLNER: 2010 smaller MacBook Pro travels well

I've just acquired a new Apple Inc., MacBook Pro, a "unibody" portable from Apple that promises good things for the next three years or so I hope to use it. Published June 22, 2010

KELLNER: Consider an iPad for Dad, along with accessories

The rest of the world (and a good portion of the U.S.) may be preoccupied with the 2010 FIFA World Cup in South Africa, but for many in this country, another date looms large on the horizon: Father's Day, which is Sunday. Published June 15, 2010

KELLNER: Moving is easier when you organize

Whether it's graduation, the recent frenzy of home buying (sales in April, it was reported the other day, were up dramatically as the tax credit deadline neared), or just the natural migration so many of us undertake, moving from one place to another is almost a national pastime. The spring and summer seasons appear to be prime relocation times. Published May 25, 2010

KELLNER: IPhone goes on the road for navigation

The trip came up quite suddenly, and there was a timeline involved: I had to get somewhere near Lancaster, Pa., and do so rather quickly. Fortunately, this was on a weekend, so I wouldn't have to deal with workday traffic. Published May 19, 2010

KELLNER: Toshiba NB-305 mini a good gift for grads, dads

It's small, you can read books and watch movies on it, has lots of storage, a wireless Internet connection and a built-in keyboard. You can get one for less than $400, and it's a lightweight companion whose battery life should easily handle a cross-country, or even trans-Atlantic flight. Published May 12, 2010

KELLNER: Apple’s iPad is setting a new sales mark

KELLNER: Program update includes glitches

Here's a little secret of computing: You don't really have to type your name, over and over again, when writing letters, reports, memos or whatever. You can, using a macro program, type a combination such as "btw" and have it expand to "by the way." Published April 21, 2010
