Amazon announced today that Kindle devices, and the Kindle Fire in particular, continue to fly out of the warehouse in dizzying numbers.

If you haven't watched MTV in awhile, your idea of luxury RVs may be a little outdated. And even if you have, there's a good chance that a lot of rock stars don't have it this good.

With the sport of fishing becoming increasingly high-tech, there are new gadgets coming on the market all the time. This isn't one of them. Will that stop us from posting about it? Of course not.

The plot thickens. Last month, we mentioned a mysterious "$1 million laptop about which precious little was known. That's still the case, but a few more tantalizing (and still unconfirmed) details are slowly emerging.

Luxurylaunches claims to have the first "official" photo of the laptop from Luvaglio, the namesake company of entrepreneur Rohan Sinclair Luvaglio, and describes it thusly: "The laptop combines intelligent gadgetry with state of the art technology, such as solid-state storage, Blu-ray, built-in USB memory stick and MP3 player, integrated screen cleaning and functional jewelry.

At long last, relief from public ridicule. You've been suffering in the embarrassment of having to tote around that low-end $350,000 Tulip Ego for months, but someone has finally come along with a portable computer worthy of your elevated station. (How on earth could you be expected to carry a laptop that costs less than your cell phone?)
