One Argument For the MacBook Air
Still, for even less than the price of one iPad, we bought a Dell Mini10, a copy of Snow Leopard....
BTW: Let's hope Dell upgraded the trackpad for their next gen netbook.

sound investment
This is a Sponsored Post written by me on behalf of Dual Electronics. All opinions are 100% mine.
Most of the time I am lucky enough to not have to drive to work which like many of you means I take a train. While others are stuck not moving in bumper to bumper traffic because of some (real or imagined) road hazard somewhere ahead or just as bad, dodging crazy drivers who jump in front of you with even so much as a single courtesy blink on the assumption that they are 'winning' the commute because they are ahead of you – I get to read, catch up on TV shows I have missed or just relax, close my eyes and listen to podcasts and music on my iPod touch.
When I do drive, I still instinctively reach for my iPod forgetting I have only a AM/FM cassette radio, and I have yet to buy the cable that would connect the two together. I keep putting it off because somehow connecting an iPod / iPhone via a tape interface seems just so off-putting and backward. I figure at some point someone will make a better way to connect the music in my pocket to the speakers in my car. Turns out there IS a way and it is better than I would have even dreamed.
The Dual Electronics model XDMA7650 is 2-step motorized mobile receiver with direct USB control for iPods and iPhones. At only US$199.99, it supports a variety of media devices, it's MP3, WMA, CD-RW compatible and can play music off of your USB flash drives, talk about multiple listening options! It even would link up with my Sansa Clip, my go-to music mp3 player via a 3.5mm auxiliary input. 3-RCA preamp outputs and a wireless remote control round out the main features.
If you have to be in the car and you don't enjoy the ride, why not at least improve the sounds that surround you? The XDMA7650 for the ultimate Car Audio experience!

show us your shows
But with more always comes the question, what's worth watching and where can I find it. Enter a way to best find a way to Watch TV Shows Online. Using the internet not just as a generalized search tool but in a specific way, targeting your search to just TV and films, now you can sit back and have what you want to see and when you want to see it. Just like your parents ditched the black and white set with 3 channels to watch, you too can ditch the cable companies and the rigid schedules. When you watch only what you want to and when, think of the time you can save and the brain-cells you'll preserve?

show your cards
But, back to my point: if anyone can crank out a half-decent card what that means is that to really impress you have to bring the A-game of calling cards: the raised ink business cards people have come to expect from the top tier people and businesses. Make yourself stand out from the crowd and get that oh so important first impression that can translate to better contacts and bigger sales down the road. Don't be an also-ran and do it on the cheap: People can tell and people will talk. Probably not to your face but to each other after you have left.
Do you want to risk your one chance at making it special? Take your time, do it classy and do it right.

Reading More Harry Potter?
Two more reasons to keep reading The New Yorker's Book Bench:
J. K. Rowling told Oprah that more Harry Potter books are not out of the question.
Listen to David Sedaris read from his new book, "Squirrel Seeks Chipmunk."
