- Samsung PN50A650
- Samsung makes so many different varieties of flat-panel HDTVs, sometimes it's difficult to keep up. This particular plasma, the 50-inch PN50A650, was released in the spring of 2008 right around the same time as the slightly less expensive PN50A550, which we reviewed way back then. We really like both of...

- Why Internet companies are attractive takeover targets: They can't manage
- Are Internet companies so inefficient and clueless about management that have to be acquired? Lost in the commentary about Bernstein's "U.S. Internet -- The End of the Beginning" report, which concluded that Amazon and Google would be the dominant Internet duopoly, are the reasons why today's leading...

- Market Alternatives for Sun
- It seems to me that tech companies in Sun's position have two choices on responding to trader share price manipulation: play their game, or don't play their game. All of the "don't play" scenarios I can think of involve protecting the share price by...

- Nikon Coolpix S600
- I admit to having mixed feelings about the Nikon Coolpix S600. On one hand, it's a very attractive-looking ultracompact capable of producing pretty 10-megapixel photos. But on the other, it's a tad slow and underfeatured with an occasionally annoying interface. Nor is it priced aggressively enough ($150 or less) to...

- Women's attractiveness judged by software
- According to Haaretz, an Israeli team of computer scientists has developed a software that ranks facial attractiveness of women. Instead of identifying basic facial characteristics, this software has been designed to make aesthetic judgments -- after training.

- Jensen is no stranger to after-market car tech, but we've mostly looked at its in-car stereo units rather than the company's portable navigation systems, so we were pretty anxious to take the Jensen NVX225 out for a test drive when it arrived at our office. On the upside, the NVX225...
