Review: The Lust-Worthy iPod nano
Hot on the heels of yesterday's "Let's Rock" announcement, we've got our two cents about Apple's new iPods all ready for you. First off, Apple's sexy, slimmed-down iPod nano 4G lives up a much of its hype; it responds to your movements, creates playlists it thinks you'll like, and makes the competition look like a bunch of clunkers. Check out the full review for more.
Plus: The Best Player Gets Even Better
Last year Apple's iPod touch snagged not only an Editors' Choice but a rare five-star rating. This year, it raises its game even more.
Feature: Search Without Google
If Google is your go-to search site, there's plenty to back up your choice: It's fast, reliable, and indexes a giant chunk of the Web when gathering its results. But Google isn't the only game in town. Though Google Universal Search is great, these ten search services find ways to improve on the Google search experience. Take a look at what made the cut on PCMag.com.
Review: GETAC's Indestructible Laptop
If you need a really rugged laptop, you need one that's built like a tank--one that can withstand even the most adverse conditions and still handle whatever workload you throw at it. The GETAC B300 is one of the best and most complete fully rugged laptops in the business—but get ready to shell out some serious bucks. How much? Read the full review to find out just how much and for more specs and testing results.
Review: Chrome Still Needs Some Polish
Google hopes this bare-bones browser will be the vehicle for Web applications. It's lightning-fast, has built-in Gears support, and can display sites without any browser interface elements. But it still has problems with a few popular sites and might fall short of its competition (Internet Explorer and Firefox) in a few key areas. Check out the full review for more.
Feature: The Cyber Crime Hall of Fame
Rules are made to be broken, networks to be hacked into. This story looks back upon nine of the most infamous criminal hackers to ever see the inside of a jail cell. These are people who changed the hacking landscape; their crimes set precedents and made history. Visit PCMag.com to read about hackers John Draper, Robert Morris, Kevin Poulsen, and others.
Dvorak Online: The Sexually Charged Microsoft Ads
If you've seen the new Seinfeld/Gates Microsoft ads, you might have scratched your head a bit trying to figure out what exactly they're about. The message is a bit unclear to many--John C. Dvorak included. That is, until he came up with a theory of his own. Get the full scoop in his column.

Review: Squeezebox Goes Boom
Logitech's Squeezebox Boom incorporates all the familiar Squeezebox streaming features, including wireless access to your computer's audio library and to music services like Pandora, Slacker, and XM Sirius. Its somewhat convoluted interface is overshadowed by slick design and excellent sound quality. Find out if it's a solid choice to rock your next house party.
Ulanoff: Google, You've Come a Long Way, Baby
Google just turned 10, and its decade-long rise to the top of the search stratosphere has changed the tech--and Web--landscape forever. Lance Ulanoff has taken a look through our PC Mag archives to trace Google's history from its humble beginnings up to today. Take the full journey on PCMag.com.
