Creating a website is not too difficult.  Making it look nice, however, can be very time-consuming or expensive.  The default program for website design is Adobe Dreamweaver.  However, since that program costs hundreds of dollars, it is natural to look for a free alternative.  KompoZer is just that free, open-source option.

We have previously told about GIMP, the open-source alternative to Adobe Photoshop.  We even mentioned GIMPshop, which is GIMP skinned to look like Photoshop.  However, Mac OS X users might want to take a look at Seashore, which offers a number of advantages over GIMP for free image editing.

The WikiReader is exactly what it sounds like.  It puts all of Wikipedia into the palm of your hand in a dedicated touchscreen device.  While this may sound a little pointless in the age of smartphones and wireless broadband, there is more appeal to this device than meets the eye.

Recently, we just got a review unit of the new Lenovo ThinkPad Edge, which is a hybrid of the traditional, corporate ThinkPad laptop and more consumer oriented IdeaPad line.  Check out our photo gallery after the jump.

Twitter has been somewhat of a talking point lately.  It seems like you can send tweets from almost anything, anywhere.  For Windows Mobile users (like myself), the best Twitter client we have come across is Tiny Twitter.

While Mac OS X has a built-in Zip Utility to create and open .zip files, you will need something extra, such as StuffIt, to open other formats such as .rar, .sit et al.  However, the free version of StuffIt only opens those archives, and does not let you create your own.  That is where keka comes in.

Bigwords.com is a website that should be bookmarked by all college students.  The website has a price comparison engine that compares book prices across all the major online booksellers.  With the cost of textbooks these days, this site provides a one stop shop to save lots of money.

Last year for Back to School, we told you about Schoolhouse, a very neat homework/grade manager.  This year, we found a new program called myHomework, which even has a mobile version for iPhone/iPod touch.  Now you can even manage your homework away from your computer.

The BlackBerry Curve 8900 is the thinnest and lightest full-QWERTY phone RIM has ever made.  It also occupies a premium position in T-mobile’s smartphone lineup.  Read on to find out how the Curve 8900 stacks up against BlackBerries from other carriers and other smartphones at large.

We previously covered Twitterberry, at the time the de facto Twitter app for BlackBerry users.  A lot has changed since then.  Since TweetGenius is currently back in closed beta, that means that newcomer UberTwitter is now our favorite way to tweet on a BlackBerry.
