 SharkShield Article by our specialist reviewer Joe Baker:
Let me start off by saying that if you had one of these, then the film “Jaws” probably couldn’t have been made. It is the second generation Shark Shield extraordinaire, with a claimed shark exclusion zone of 6-8 metres diameter.
Do they work you say, well I should say YES with a big smile on my face as I borrowed a FREEDOM7 Shark Shield and went shooting fish at Cosy Corner near Albany Western Australia, only to be told later by my buddy, that half way through the dive and in the midst off stuffing a big “Queenie” in the catch bag, that a big white and grey shark had streaked down toward me, “It got to within 5-6 metres of you, then gave an immense shiver, veered then departed as quickly as it came”. he said. (More about the White Pointer later.)

 Jabra BT530 Just when I thought I had seen and use the best Jabra has to offer in 2008, the BT530 lands on my desk with a mighty thump. The diminutive looking BT530 Bluetooth Headset hides some interesting technology to differentiate this device from the plentiful options in the market.
I would like to thank the Jabra team for their on-going generosity and support in providing DigitalReviews Network with their latest innovations.

 SanDisk Cruzer Enterprise SanDisk requires no introduction as the world's largest supplier of innovative flash memory data storage products. With their eye turned to information security, SanDisk has kindly supplied their Cruzer Enterprise USB drive for review.
The proliferation of USB drives cannot be denied. From the early days when my first USB drive in 2000 from IBM was a whopping 8 Mb in size and expensive, the USB drive now is a commodity that is given away freely at shows. Large capacity drives are readily and cheapily available.
USB drives have in particular found their way into the workplace due to their versatility and convenience. It is this very ease of use that makes them a security nightmare for IT professionals. Whilst I have yet to lose one personally, I have known many people who had and a few with of those had organisation sensitive documents on them.

 Qref All of today's high tech equipment comes with a user manual and the more complicated a piece of equipment is the thicker the manual. And the fewer people that will actually read that… As a result most people will not know how to properly work with their equipment -- even if their lives depended on it.
And when it comes, for instance, to vital navigational equipment in an aircraft lack of knowledge can be fatal!
Today we are looking at a reference manual that addresses this problem.
Enter Qref, a company that specializes in making high quality reference material for the aviation and maritime sectors.
Today we will look at the Quick Reference for the Garmin GNS 430, arguably the most popular avionics set.

 QNAP
It is common for households to have more than one computers these days. Because of that, people want to be able to share files easily. Usually, people do this by sharing specific folders on their computer, but this requires one computer or another to be on. This is where the utility of a networked attached storage (NAS) device comes in. It is a central storage place that every computer on the network can access.
Today we will be looking at the Qnap TS 209 Pro II. This is meant for small/medium businesses, but can also be used in the home office as well. What is different with this product is that you will find it packed with many more features than just your standard NAS product. For example, you can use it as a media or web server. Or you can use it to download Bittorent files as well.
