- Why blogging mattersYes, very similar to a Socratic Court"For the most part, self assembling communities of bloggers hold a kind of virtual Socratic court, sorting out the issues of the day in a public forum, open to anyone, including spammers."As anyone who has read Plato's dialogues can tell you, the...

- 2009 Nissan Murano SL
- Photo gallery:2009 Nissan MuranoSUV once meant large, truck-like gas-guzzlers that, despite never being taken off-road, seemed better suited to the actual jungle than the urban jungle. Enter the Nissan Murano. Ignoring the SUV's truck roots, Nissan created a vehicle that cast off all rugged pretenses and brought style to the...

- Ultrasone HFI-580
- Unlike the Ultrasone HFI-2200s, which allow sound to be projected from the actual ear cups, the Ultrasone HFI-580s are a "closed-back" pair of headphones, so they hush outside noise, which prevents the headphone's sound from being heard by other people around you. That's good, except that a lot of closed-back...

- Office 2008 vs. iWork vs. NeoOffice vs. OpenOffice
- The more I use these, the more I really don't care for iWork. Sure, Keynote makes some darned pretty presentations, but NeoOffice and OpenOffice for the matter cuts the mustard quite handily. For real polish, you still can't beat Office 2007/2008, as much as I hate to admit...

Though the chips have the same basic design, they are targeted at very different audiences by virtue of frequency, power consumption and price. The Phenom X4 9950 Black Edition--now AMD's fastest...

- Sony HT-CT100
- It's a familiar story in consumer electronics: start with a luxurious, expensive, and exclusive product category, and within just a few years, you'll see a sea of imitators delivering the same basic item with more features, less money, and--ideally--better performance. Take single-speaker audio. Once the exclusive domain of Yamaha Digital...
