This month we feature a look at the humble beginnings and explosive growth of the biggest name in search: Google. We look at their plans beyond search engines, their approach to your privacy, and the plan to usurp Microsoft. Not to mention a guide to over 60 of their latest services. Most importantly we ask whether the end is in sight for Google or if their relentless growth can continue unabated.

We ask futurologist Mark Anderson what's in store for Silicon Valley and the wider computing world. With his past predictions averaging 92% accurate this is a man who even Michael Dell and Bill Gates pay attention to.

We get our hands on the first wave of Core 2 Duo based laptops for a proper side by side comparison with their desktop cousins. We investigate how you can make your system run quieter and which bits of kit will help. We look at GPS technology with a test of some of the devices and software available. A thorough investigation of the science behind achieving the best results from printing colour photographs is on offer, with a rundown of the best printers to put your creation to print.

This is in addition to all our regular columns including reviews of the latest hi-tech computing products such as the Geforce 7950 GX2, the E6600 Core 2 Duo and Intel's 965 chipset. As always you can expect an updated hotlist, not to mention a Super DVD packed full of software.
