eBay nightmares

Digital Living So you win the auction, then you wait and you wait, but the purse never arrives. But when the package arrives days later, it's no Beanie Baby. It's not even a zebra. It's hell spawn -- evil incarnate, a thing from a world not our own.

Sony PlayStation 3

Digital Living Will the hi-def gaming, built-in Blu-ray player and multimedia features make it worth the wait? Sony's swanky PlayStation 3 is finally here, but it's the most expensive of the next-gen consoles.

Don't let your children catch DVD

Digital Living This is a huge problem, because a two year old has the easy patience and genial tolerance of a crack-addled street screamer on meth amphetamine, and he or she JUST CAN'T WAIT. If you're a parent, you need to understand a new threat to your children...

The 8-step technology detox

Digital Living Okay, so I had to wait while they changed costumes in between scenes and when I said afterwards that I wanted them to act out Star Wars there was a fight over who would be Darth Vader. My house is a shrine to the consumer electronics gods and my...

Is now the right time to buy a new TV?

Is there a non-Apple flash player I should buy?

Digital Living Wait, don't scream! My friends tell me to buy an iPod Shuffle, but I don't want to look like every other white earbud clone on the train to work. Are there any other flash MP3 players that look as good as the iPod, but don't force me to join the...

Digital Living Wait a few seconds, turn the power back on again, and start timing. Does it seem like the more time you spend with your Windows XP installation, the longer your PC takes to pull itself out of bed when booting up?
