Technical Bliss

The Nasdaq closed today at 2466.28. The Dow ended at 12621.77, a new record high. Why such big numbers? The tech stocks. Yahoo and Sun Microsystems led the way, with Yahoo's new advertising technology and Sun's higher-than-expected profits. EBay also had good news, with sales continuing to climb. Its shares climbed 9% after trading hours.
While we're in the "tech department," I found a cool, new product. HP has recently introduced the TouchSmart PC, a computer designed especially for the kitchen. If your kitchen stays as busy as mine, this new organization tool might deserve a second glance. If nothing else, its features will leave you open-mouthed and wide-eyed in awe.
