- Public relations fail: A lesson and a rant
- I try to be supportive of the public relations industry. I spotlight wins. I publicly thank people for their good ideas.

- Oregon Scientific ATC5K Waterproof Action Camera
- Usually extreme sports helmet cameras are ruggedly simple affairs that have to forgo complications such as LCD viewfinders in favor of compact and durable designs. The Oregon Scientific ATC5K Action Camera avoids that compromise by squeezing a small full-color LCD screen onto its smallish body, while still preserving its waterproof...

- Panasonic DMP-B15K
- Photo gallery:Panasonic DMP-B15 The Panasonic DMP-BD15 is the first portable Blu-ray player, and at first it's easy to write it off as useless since much of Blu-ray's visual superiority doesn't translate on its 8.9-inch screen. But that's missing the point. If you're a home theater buff with a growing Blu-ray...

- Alpine iXA-W404
- Our experiences with Alpine's "mechless" car audio receivers have been mostly positive. So, when we received the iWA-X404, which ups the ante with the inclusion of a larger display and touch sensitivity, we naturally assumed that bigger would be better. True, the W404's larger screen facilitates the playback of video...

Revamped for 2009, the second-generation of the Pacemaker MP3 player includes all the features of the original (and...

- Panasonic DMP-BD60
- From our perspective, the Panasonic DMP-BD35 was a landmark for the Blu-ray format, as it was the first standalone player we could wholeheartedly recommend, earning the Editors' Choice award. The Panasonic DMP-BD60 is the successor to the DMP-BD35 and it keeps everything we liked about last year's model, including Profile...
