Come talk tech with the Cheapskate tonight!

by Rick Broida

"Look what I found in Mom's wallet, kids!"

Got plans tonight? Want to talk tech with yours truly? Live within a reasonable distance of the Wayne Public Library here in Michigan? If so, I'll be there at 7 p.m.

On the playbill for this evening: gadgets, gear, and, of course, how to score cheap deals on stuff. It's a free program, and I might just have something neat to raffle off.

Sorry for the late notice, but I hope you can make it! (Here's a map to the library in case you need directions.)

Bummer, Man. I live in Mount Pleasant, but I have a Film Theory class tonight. I'll be there in spirit, OK?

CNET makes all those product videos - why not make one of Rick?

Next, you need to come to the east side, say the Sterling Heights Library. I would love to see it streamed also. Your articles are awesome and the prices are out of sight.

Thank you!

Sorry I couldn't make it tonight, Rick- but I second this opinion- we'd love to see you on the east side!

After 5 years, Firefox faces new challenges

Mozilla helped reshape the Web since releasing Firefox 1.0 five years ago. Now it's got a reawakened Microsoft and Google Chrome to reckon with.

There's a map for that: GPS or smartphone?

Almost every handset comes with mapping software these days, but standalone GPS devices are becoming more affordable than ever.
