When I first reviewed an 8MB flash based USB thumb drive from M-Systems and IBM back in 2001, I was astounded at its durability. I dropped the device, went surf fishing with it and got it wet, and basically abused it until the plastic casing came off and all that was left was the memory module and the USB arm. It still works today, but at 8MB, it has since been replaced by several drives at varying capacities.

For Windows users, solutions such as Honestech's VHS to DVD 3.0 Deluxe have been around for a while. Mac users have also had some solutions, but not to the extent that Windows users have.

When I first reviewed the Pure Digital Flip camera back in 2007, I liked the camera for its ease of use, video quality, and portability.

There is a whole group of people who grew up on the Internet that believes everything that is out there should be free.
