The fatal flaw for green-tech companies

The fatal flaw for green-tech companiesThat's sillyGreen energy isn't doomed in the same way energy in general isn't doomed. Just because hydroelectric power isn't sexy doesn't mean they're going under. Your argument is so silly it's hard to even respond to it.I always look for a point...in articles that appear...

Toshiba 32AV502U

Photo gallery: Toshiba AV502U seriesWhen we say the Toshiba AV502U series can produce relatively deep black levels, the key word is "relatively." It's perhaps more accurate to say that its shade of black outdoes most other less-expensive, lower resolution small-screened LCDs we've seen by a narrow margin. It...

Apple nukes Psystar

Why is this legal?What I want to know is *why* is it legal for Apple to say "OSX can only run on hardware we provide"? Wouldn't that constitute a monopoly on OSX since they stifle competition and someone else can't provide OSX software systems? Isn't that the literal...

Boston Acoustics Duo-i plus

Editors' note: The Boston Acoustics Duo-i Plus is nearly identical to the Horizon Duo-i we reviewed a year ago. Not a lot has changed since then aside from the addition of full support for iPhone playback. While the Horizon Duo-i worked with the iPhone, the device had...

Sony KDL-46VE5

Photo gallery: Sony KDL-VE5 seriesIn case you haven't noticed, "green" is big business. One way for HDTV makers to cash in on the public's craving for efficiency is to label a TV "eco-friendly." Sony's KDL-VE5 series does just that, but unlike a lot of so-called green electronics, this...
