| More Gamble Than Gift: This Holiday Season's High-Tech Duds |
(Thu, 20 Nov 2008)
|
| Buying any sort of high-tech product involves risks not faced with most other purchases. The sweater you get for yourself probably won't cost dramatically less next year or be replaced in stores by a vastly upgraded Sweater 3.0, but your new laptop, camera or phone can become overpriced or obsolete within weeks. |
