Toshiba Satellite L455-S5975

We've said it before, and we'll say it again: especially in this economy, it's hard to hate a laptop that only costs $350. It's even harder to hate a Windows 7 laptop that costs that much. The Toshiba L455-S5975 is, by 50 dollars, the least expensive notebook computer in our...

Apple iMac 27-inch

If we could, we'd take points away from this iMac simply because by giving it a 27-inch display Apple threatens our livelihood. You don't need our input to simply walk past the 27-inch iMac on a store shelf and recognize that it's the largest all-in-one currently available, and that it...

TechCrunch throws down on cable boxes: Who can argue?

The TechCrunch blog usually covers start-up culture, but a post today takes a diversion into the limited, primitive realm of cable boxes. You know 'em, you hate 'em.
