have a small living room where you want a television and a computer display,
but don't have room for both, the T260HD is for you.

The CLP-315W is an excellent colour laser printer alternative for those
without a large budget. It offers a great solution to get acceptable quality

your house with this printer with a quick and easy setup

even the most hardcore gamer,
the

this badboy is just the ticket

- Cheap iPhone might be headed to Walmart -
Boy Genius Report says it's received a tip about a cheaper iPhone that
could be headed to Walmart. How much cheaper? $99, the site says. Naturally,
the lower price tag will involve some compromises. The $99 iPhone will
reportedly feature only 4GB of storage capacity, and it will be tied to a
two-year contract just like the $199 iPhone 3G. The cheapest iPhone 3G plan
was ~$70 a month last time we checked, so the running cost for owning the
device may be higher than for most other $100 phones. On the flip side, it'd
be a $99 iPhone.
