With all the music, photos, and other media checking in and out of our computer we're bound to run into some file management issues. Somehow and some way, duplicate copies of the same file end up scattered across our disk and start cramping our hard drive space (and style). Here are some affordable solutions for both PC and Mac users...

While it's recently been pointed out that HDTVs aren't ideal computer monitors in general, there are times when the larger screens comes in handy. Check out where we put a big-screen TV in place of a computer monitor and why it works. More

As USB ports, auxiliary jacks, and Bluetooth connections become increasingly standard, many of today's cars are well-equipped for both music and phone calls. If you're like me, however, your aging ride rolls along with little more than a fuzzy radio and a cassette deck. For cars like these, however, integrated music and hands-free calling are not out of reach. Here are three solutions for those wishing to bring a touch of today's tech to yesteryear's wheels... More

Kukka Blocks Desk Set
• $85.00

And nowhere is this more true than at your desk, where a variety of stationery, paper and miscellaneous tech tools will be used throughout the week, and often are set aside/discarded without thought. If you've got one of those desks with pens rolling rolling everywhere, thumb drives getting lost under stacks of paper, and paperclips ant lining across your desk, what you need is a desk set. And with something as beautiful looking as this all beech wood minimalist block desk set, you'd have a little more imperative to keep the desk clean...at least in theory.

Logitech Touch Mouse M600

The humble mouse has seen a resurgence in the last couple of years, thanks for the elimination of visible buttons and scroll wheels.

We hope to follow up soon with a hands-on review, but for now, these are available for pre-order directly from Logitech.

Got out of my crummy comfortable work-at-home clothes last night to sneak into the nearby Apple store right before closing to pick up a new Apple wireless keyboard.

That being said, I noticed later there was a decent affordable alternative from an unexpected source: Amazon. More
