- Ricoh GXR system photos
- In what has to be the oddest new camera technology announcement of 2009, Ricoh unveiled its GXR system.

- Can a laptop ever be too thin?
- Ralph Lauren is on the receiving end of a blogosphere backlash today over an apparent Photoshop job gone awry. It turns out there is such a thing as too thin. I mention this because yesterday both Dell and Sony introduced new laptops that give new meaning to ultra-thin. The trend...

- The Apple-Palm cat-and-mouse game: How long can it last? [poll]
- I'm usually the last one to suggest that lawyers get involved in business disputes, largely because the only ones who win are the lawyers. I can't help but wonder if it's time for Apple's legal team to step in and ask a judge to bring to an end - once...
