Wacom launches 24in multi-touch tablet for design pros "This 24-inch tablet is a full digital drawing board with over a billion colours on its screen ...There's a pen for drawing, but this tablet's killer app is multi-touch: you can use gestures and swipes to pan, zoom or rotate an image; or if you're creating a 3D model, you can manipulate it using your fingers." via PC & Tech Authority

And although The Jet Business is located on a highly visible corner, admission is by appointment only.

Broken iPod Touch: Repair or replace? "I watched a couple YouTube videos demonstrating the screen-replacement process.
