If you have purchased an Apple iPod nano, you know that it is almost impossible to avoid scratching this digital audio player.

Is anyone out there contemplating the purchase of a new Apple iPod or other pricey Mac product? I received a customer appreciation coupon for $30 off (purchase of $300 or more) that I would be willing to pass on to the first person that emails and asks for it. The only catch is that since

There is no doubt that the Sony PlayStation Portable is a very sexy device. It takes a strong willed geek who can resist the charms of this smooth, shiny, black handheld gaming siren. I’m definitely not one of the strong ones. I’m weak… very very weak… But you know the one thing that would make
