All-in-one (AIO) printers touting three to four features such as copying, scanning, and faxing are aplenty. But when we received news of a 9-in-1 model, it nearly blew us away.

Brother's MFC-885CW has to be one of the most feature-packed printers we've seen this year. This color inkbox can not only print, scan, copy, and fax, but it is also capable of direct photo printing from a flash card or USB drive and PC fax. That's six features already. Then the Wi-Fi-enabled printer goes to the next level, incorporating a cordless phone, built-in speakerphone, and, to sweeten the deal, an answering machine.

Set on the printer is a nice 4.2-inch color widescreen display, one of the biggest we've seen for an all-in-one, which you can use to view photos or edit (tweak colors or remove red-eye) before printing.

The MFC-885CW is a part of the new lineup of printers that Brother is launching this year for its 100th anniversary. For an additional 50 bucks, you can even make it dispense Coke and make toast Just kidding.

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.
