The joy of playing roller coaster Tycoon on the PC is that you get to create the roller coaster of your dreams. You know, the kind you were always too short to ride as a kid?

HP's Envy 15 Beats LE Comes Bundled With Dre's Headphones
I'm already in love with the sound quality of Dr. Dre's Beats headphones I tested out last year, so getting a free pair with an HP computer bundle would be pretty sweet. But not just any computer of course, one that also comes with a copy of Traktor LE DJing software so I can get my scratch on at the clubs.

If You Had To: Give Up Phone or Computer For a Weekend?
It's time for a classic game of "Would You Rather?" only instead of something saucy, we'll discuss something tech.
So: If you had to, would you rather go a weekend without your computer or your cell phone?
Would You Want to Know If a Computer Thinks You're Pretty?
And you thought you had enough issues with your looks: a grad student in Canada has programmed a computer that can evaluate human attractiveness.
If that weren't frightening enough — it judges you on a scale of 1-10 (thankfully, there doesn't seem to be anything about a bathing suit round). The evaluation is based on the core data, from volunteer students that submitted photos with people they judged attractive.
The Computer Man Fixes Your Mac, Stars in Your Nightmares
The Computer Man, from a late '90s commercial, is pretty frightening, rather than the paragon of security he's supposed to be. And what's with the ice cream man garb? He's singing, he's running, he's freaking me out.
Dream Cooking Scenario: A Computer in the Kitchen
My skills in the kitchen tend to fluctuate from the very elementary to the occasionally sophisticated (case in point: a beautiful soufflé that shall never be reproduced). What makes the biggest difference for me is having instructions, and not everything I want to make is in the Joy of Cooking.
I get most of my recipe ideas from food blogs like YumSugar, and my best solution for using a recipe I found online was printing it out and getting it covered with ingredients in my messy kitchen, or keeping my laptop somewhere safe and traveling to it for the next step.
Do You Share Your Home Computer?
PC means personal computer, and most people I know do have their own personal computer. In fact, it's a rarity if a household doesn't have at least one computer these days. But personally, having the job that I have, and with my boyfriend also having a geeky job, I couldn't imagine us having to share a household computer.
Have You Ever Been Mac or PC Curious?
So you're a Mac. Or a PC. And you are very happy with your chosen OS — Windows or OS X having never done you wrong.
Would You Rather: Netbook or Nettop?
So with the majority of you on board with the whole Netbook craze, let me just throw a little wrench in your wish list and savings plan — it's called the Nettop. Although most people are smitten with the tiny portable computers, some are not so infatuated with the small keyboard, screen, and storage availability to match. Nettops, which made a big impact at the CES conference in Las Vegas this year, are smaller than your average desktop (with screens ranging from 15-19 inches), and come in an all-in-one bundle, which is easy on the eyes and great for maximizing space.
