Awesome Tech Gifts for College Grads

Across the country, young high school and college
graduates have their parents beaming with pride. The
graduates, sensing an opening, likely have a list of
requests tucked neatly under their quad-pointed caps.
They probably want a tech gadget to celebrate their
accomplishment. I recommend you comply; there's nothing
worse than a surly, ungifted college grad sulking around
your house all summer. These ideas will help you avoid a
painful summer.

Dvorak: Skeptical of the Amazon eBook Sales Ratio

Amazon recently reported that ebook sales were now
officially outpacing hardcover sales. That's an amazing
turn of events. However, cranky columnist John C. Dvorak
doesn't believe it. He demands to see the numbers Amazon
won't show. Is Dvorak right? Is Amazon hiding something?
Read the column and you be the judge.
