Feature: 21 Great Technologies That Failed
Just because a piece of technology is innovative, that doesn’t necessarily mean it's going to succeed. In fact, between giants like Microsoft and Apple, there are quite a few pieces of tech that fell flat--despite how great they could have been. Some tech, it seems, is just ahead of its time. Here are 21 examples.
Review: Luxury PC Speakers
Except for its hideous-looking amplifier, Axiom's luxurious Audiobyte is a visually striking, space-eating 2.1 PC speaker set. And though it costs an arm and a leg, its audio performance is wonderful. Just how much, you say? Head over to PCMag.com for the full review and pricing information.
Top Ten: Odd Camera Phone Accessories
Nowadays we take more pictures than ever on the fly--thanks in part to a little thing we call the camera phone. Whether snapping a pic of a celebrity or a crime scene, why not enhance your camera phone's abilities with a tripod, attachable wide-angle lens, or one of these other accessories. Check 'em all out on PCMag.com.
Feature: 40 Years of Intel
In honor of Intel's 40th birthday, we've compiled a list of the major dates in the history of the Intel chip. From chips in a calculator, to 486 PCs, to the Pentium era in which our computers are outdated every season, Intel chips have been at the center of the personal-computing world. Take a stroll down Intel memory *** on PCMag.com.
AppScout: iPhone Dark Knight App Isn't for the Serious
As of Friday the Caped Crusader is back--and he's brought a familiar face with him: the Joker. The Dark Knight iPhone app must have been created by the Joker himself! The app lets you take a picture of yourself and then add your own Joker elements to it. Check it out on Appscout.

PC Magazine Discussions
Tell us your thoughts on the following topics:
MLB to Track Homers with Holograms, Database
For years, bleacher bums could pretend that their home-run ball was hit by Barry Bonds, rather than Duane Kuiper. Major League Baseball will now validate home runs with a special hologram, which fans can verify in an online database. Do you think fraud was prevalent enough to make this necessary?
