KISS
If you want to use a laptop to control the Canon all you need is a mini USB to USB2 cable connection - your local computer shop probably has them is stock if you don't use eBay.

Use the Canon Utilities software which came with the camera - this allows full "remote" control of the camera you can set aperture, exposure, interval etc. and display the image downloads as you go.
