Hold up! Since when did this fashionista upgrade to a BlackBerry Bold? Last time I checked, she was in love with the Curve. I guess I'm just jealous, and counting down until Nov. 4 when the "rest of us" can pick one up! Any idea who it is? Take a guess below!
Almost 70 percent of you said that you would hold off buying electronics this holiday season because of the economy.

"These are no longer just luxury items or products that are fun to own. They really are used in a variety of ways to enhance communications, increase productivity, or for education," said Tim Herbert, the senior director of market research for the CEA. "Also, from a gift-giving standpoint, there is still a tremendous 'wow' factor with electronics."

When 30 Rock returned Thursday night, I was mostly excited just to see one of my favorite TV geeks ever, Liz Lemon — and I wasn't disappointed. Actually that's an understatement, because Liz totally rocked my socks off when she revealed an iPhone!

My devotion to Google Reader has been well-documented here, and I relish any new opportunity to get more of it (though I'd have to be a superhuman to read everything in my reader daily).
Read It Later is a free Firefox extension that just adds little empty check marks to stories in your feeds, and when you come to a post you want to read but don't have time to, simply click the check marks.
All checked stories are then saved in a separate reading list — either from Read It Later's site, in your RSS Reader, or for reading offline later!
