Toshiba Satellite T135-S1309

Sometimes, it takes a good retail excursion to find a deal that isn't otherwise possible. Case in point: the Toshiba T135. While we have already reviewed two different versions of Toshiba's Windows 7 entry to the thin-and-light laptop landscape, we were pleasantly surprised by this retail-only configuration.

Toshiba Satellite A505-S6980

You can't argue with a large-screen, value-priced laptop when it delivers good performance, and looks nice to boot. We appreciated the Toshiba Satellite A505-S6960 when we reviewed it in our 2009 back-to-school retail roundup, liking its affordability, large screen, strong battery life, and excellent-sounding speakers. Just a few months later,...

Spring Design sues Barnes & Noble over Alex, Nook

I kind of want to see barnes and noble win this one...The whole concept of a sliding image preview isn't exactly revolutionary, and it does look decidedly different from the bulky, 2003-esque block interface of the alex.On a personal note, I think the alex looks like some children's toy out...

Treece and truth

Treece is in Kansas and it's a toxic town. The Treece truth is in the result: nature gives no free lunch. You take resources, there's always a cost. A real-world, palpable cost, not some numbers on a computer screen. How can we short-sighted humans really imagine we...
