Unless you’ve been living in a technology-free zone for the last six months, you probably heard the rumors of the secret Apple tablet computer (and when I say secret, I mean officially the worst kept secret in the history of technology). Well, today Steve Jobs and his black turtleneck finally unveiled the product to the [...]

Once again, the holiday season is upon us and we’ll be giving and receiving fantastic gifts like toy trains, dolls, and the ever-popular iTunes gift cards.

It’s fall again and, as per usual, the networks are preparing to launch the season premieres of all their big prime-time television shows. It can be hard to sort through all the junk to find the gems in the television world. For every great episode of House, we have to endure garbage like Bones, CSI: [...]
