Top 10 Tech Gifts For Christmas NOT To Buy Now

Topic:

Over the weekend I published the Top 10 Tech Gifts For Christmas To Buy Now, because they are either hard to find or are likely not to fall in price. Today I am offering up the top 10 tech gifts I suggest you don't buy right now and wait until later. For some the reason is that new versions will be announced and for others it makes sense to wait for great Black Friday 2009 Deals.

Take for instance the Apple iMac. You need to wait as new Apple iMac are likely going to be announced soon. Same is true for the low-end plastic MacBook that is also rumored to be updated and offered at a lower price. Read more

Top 10 Tech Gifts For Christmas To Buy Now

Topic:

There are basically three strategies for buying Christmas gifts: Start really early like Summer, bet on Black Friday and Thanksgiving Deals or hunt the mall on the 24th of December.
It is not Summer anymore and I actually have ten hot gifts that you can and some you actually should buy now without being called crazy. If you see a Zhu Zhu Hamster for around 10 bucks somewhere just buy it and hide it in the cellar - it does not need food and does not poop. Zhu Zhu Pets are an example of a holiday gift that is EHTF (extremely hard to find). Read more

Ballmer Minimizes Mac Growth, Promises 'Amazing' PCs in Christmas.

Topic:

This week, before a crowd of market analysts, Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer got a chance to vent his spleen at Apple. He stated that their market share may have “ticked up a little” this year, but he maintained that the growth was basically a “rounding error”. I'm not sure I'd call Apple's best June sales quarter in history a rounding error, but Mr. Ballmer obviously has a different concept of money than the rest of us. Just look at the Bing advertising budget.

The rest of his speech contained similar rhetoric, but there were some gems buried in the anti-Apple vitriol. For one thing, Ballmer's rant about Netbooks is a priceless piece of comedy;

T-Mobile Price Cuts: Christmas in June

Topic:

You know what I hate? Mail in rebates. Mailing them in isn't much of a hassle, but waiting weeks and weeks to get your check is a pain in the ass. We all know why companies do it, everyone who is too lazy to mail in a rebate means more profit for them. That doesn't stop it from being irritating as hell for those of us who are motivated to save money.

Well T-Mobile has heard our cries of annoyance, and they've removed all their mail-in rebates as a result. Now a whole bunch of their hottest phones are more affordable than ever, and you don't even have to go hunting for stamps. Here's an updated price-list;
