Past articles by Ben:
Pluto TV Review
Pluto TV, a free live TV service, offers enough programming to be useful in a pinch, but you'll miss premium entertainment, news, sports channels, and other extra capabilities. → Read More
Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office Review
Acronis Cyber Protect Home Office's flexible backup options and useful security extras are excellent, even if it took a long time to upload files in our backup test. → Read More
The NFL's Streaming Strategy Sidelines Fans
The NFL’s location-based broadcast restrictions make it unnecessarily difficult for football fans across the country to stream their favorite team’s games. As a result, some will turn to piracy. → Read More
SpiderOak Semaphor Review
SpiderOak's Semaphor puts security first with its team messaging app, but it does not support integrations, audio or video calls; nor does it offer much in the way of customization options. → Read More
DirecTV Stream Review
DirecTV Stream (formerly AT&T TV) delivers a reliable live TV streaming experience, but its plans cost more than those from competitors, and most people will want to upgrade from the service's default DVR plan. → Read More
Norton Family Review
Norton Family makes it easy for parents to track their children's activity across many devices, though it doesn't work on Macs, and its iOS app relies on Apple's free Screen Time feature to do the blocking and tracking. → Read More
Showtime Review
Showtime's streaming service includes all the cable channel's best titles, but its steep price and limited features make it difficult to recommend to any but the most dedicated Showtime fans. → Read More
ESPN+ Review
ESPN+ is a cheap way to watch select live sports and archived ESPN shows, but it does not include ESPN's flagship live or network programming. → Read More
NovaBackup Review
NovaBackup lets you back up files locally and online, and includes solid versioning capabilities. But you'll pay a lot for online storage space, the service was slow in our tests, and it suffers from a poorly designed desktop interface. → Read More
ElephantDrive Review
ElephantDrive's flexible backup and versioning capabilities are overshadowed by its file upload limitations and incoherent desktop experience. → Read More
Carbonite Review
Carbonite is an easy-to-use online backup service that offers unlimited storage, but a subscription covers only one computer and the service doesn't back up mobile devices. → Read More
Acronis True Image Review
Acronis True Image's flexible backup options and useful security extras are excellent, even if it took a long time to upload files in our backup test. → Read More
Paramount+ Review
Paramount+ improves on CBS All Access by offering more original shows and sports at a lower price, but the service requires you to pay for its most expensive tier to experience its best features. → Read More
SRFax Review
SRFax is an easy-to-use service that handles all the faxing fundamentals without issue. Don't expect dedicated mobile apps or digital signature tools, though. → Read More
Fax.Plus Review
Fax.Plus is an affordable, easy-to-use, and feature-rich online fax service. It had some issues with a graphics-heavy PDF we used to test its transmission quality, but Fax.Plus is still an excellent option overall. → Read More
iFax Review
iFax offers intuitive faxing apps on desktop and mobile platforms, but base-tier subscribers cannot receive faxes and the pricing options are inconsistent across platforms. → Read More
Break Away From Android and iOS: 7 Free Open-Source Mobile OSes to Try
Liberate yourself from the control of Google and Apple with a free, open-source, and privacy-respecting mobile OS. Prepare to face unexpected problems and give up some modern smartphone conveniences along the way, though. → Read More
Plex Review
Plex's intuitive interfaces and comprehensive platform support make it an excellent option for setting up and maintaining a personal media server. An expanding library of free streaming content increases its appeal. → Read More
Peacock Review
Peacock presents popular NBC network shows along with a worthwhile collection of movies to stream. Although it lacks some top NBC shows and some expected features, its capable free tier earns it an Editors' Choice distinction. → Read More
AT&T TV Review
AT&T TV delivers solid live TV streaming performance and supports many top streaming features, but the high price and cumbersome structure of its service plans outweigh those benefits. → Read More
