I gave the new Slacker service a spin. It's now included free as part of the 3.6 update. In a word it's great.

With over 5 years of development under its belt, I was expecting a lot from Skyrim. But it all feels so familiar. The graphics, still quite beautiful, don't bring on the wow factor like they once did. Does this game deserve 93 on Metacritic?

Even with the Canon EOS Rebel T3i and EOS 60D now on the market, the T2i continues to impress--and I whole-heartedly recommend it to those looking to get into DSLR. I took it down to the Baja for a few weeks and shot over 1,000 photos.

But, this time, I say wait for the NEXUS II, coming February 30. Quad core processor. NFC 2.0. 5-inch 4K screen. Confirmed... well, wait a sec, let's wait to see what micdawg has to say about that.

According to reports Apple will announce a 15-inch MacBook Air, joining its smaller 13- and 11-inch siblings in the emerging so-called "ultrabook" category of laptops. I have one request: make it an "iPad Air" ftw.

Likely competitors include the JBL On Stage IIIP speaker dock which is another strong player in this segment. Most are split when it comes down to choosing between the two.

This is the largest upgrade cycle in Android's young history. For Google, it's important to keep us from turning to the dark side, hence the flurry of flagship handsets from Samsung, HTC and Motorola.

With thousands of first-gen Droid customers from 2009 off contract this month a massive land grab is underway for your upgrade dollars. All the majors have unleashed formidable Android offerings including the HTC Rezound, Motorola Droid RAZR, and Samsung Galaxy Nexus.

If you like to shoot video, the Canon EOS T2i is a great pick; I especially like its 24fps mode, and ability to easily mount shotgun mics.

Early reviews on Nexus have ranged from glowing ("one of the best smartphones ever made" - The Verge) to the skeptical ("As impressive as it is, Ice Cream Sandwich can be messy, and without it, the Galaxy Nexus is just another Android device." - CNET).
