I’ve seen several reports recently saying that Apple leads the PC market if you count iPads as a PC. Most people won’t count them as PCs; I certainly don’t, but there is a market for which the iPad represents all the “PC” they need. So, if your iPad is the only PC you need, you

Avallone says their sophisticated City Messenger bags are for men, but I don’t see why women wouldn’t like them, too. These bags are certainly not the distressed leather bags often marketed for men.

From the days of high school, through community college, til the end of college and when I got my first real job after graduating college, I was an avid fan of the backpack. Not too much these days though… At my current job, a backpack just doesn’t feel professional enough for me. Who am I kidding?

I have an 11″ MacBook Air laptop, and I love that it’s tiny enough to carry it most anywhere I go. What I don’t love is the possibility of scratching my shiny aluminum laptop, so I need a sleeve to protect my MBA while it’s being carried in another bag. I’ve found, once I read
