Logitech Speaker System Z520
09/25/09
Just a few years ago, 2.1 speaker systems--those that use small, left and right satellites for higher frequencies plus a larger subwoofer/amplifier component that sits under your desk and produces lower frequencies--dominated the computer-speaker market. But over the last few years, 2.0 systems--which comprise slightly larger left and right speakers, with the amplifier housed inside one of those speakers--have become popular again. A compact 2.0 speaker system takes up less space overall, but it usually doesn't provide the same kind of bass punch as a system with a dedicated subwoofer.

Hey, Apple, Why No Video Camera for the iPod Touch?
09/09/09

Apple's Sept. 9 Event: A Crowdsourced Guide
09/01/09
A wild-haired woman arches her back, raising her arms and gently lifting one leg into the air. Her heels, still on, serve as a stark contrast to her carefree and ecstatic expression.

Thankfully, the company's other Expressionist model, the $130 Expressionist Bass (FX3022) combines similar aesthetics with much-improved sound quality.

How much more can IT do with less before IT breaks?
