Tom's Hardware seems to think they have the answers for this year's holiday season. Everything from Swiss Army memory sticks, to monitors that Bill Gates couldn't even afford!"

    I'm still imagining picking feathers from between my teeth.

    ...instead of looked at the pix (or did both):

    Maximum PC has their Gear Of The Year on newsstands now and a lot of the items listed on Tom's aren't rated too highly. Many of the things they are pimping here are either overpriced or underperformers.

    That said, I REALLY would have enjoyed some shots from the Aibo's webcam during that shoot.

    And of course you can see more of the girl at: http://www.musecube.com/donnafeldman/index.htm. But, judging from the general slowness of the site, most of the Slashdot is already there.

  4. roku soundbridge versus slimdevices squeezebox by ripflash · · Score: 2, Informative
    The roku soundbridge that the article recommends is just a different display on the squeezebox by slimdevices. The squeezebox has the community support, while the soundbrige has flashy marketing.

    The article would have been more helpful if it listed other products besides the one in each category. In each instance, it looked like they were trying to choose the glitziest product, but not usually the best.
