In the last installment of our Wacky iPod Accessories series, we reviewed a $39.95 product that we described as "tacky, crappy, cheesy, and disappointing". Before we pulled it out of the box, we fully expected to give the $99 HoMedics iCush, a digitally-enabled massage pad, a similar beating. We were very, very wrong. Read this article to find out why.

Here at ZATZ, we get all kinds of mail. Happy mail, sad mail, and mad mail. We get reader mail from all over the world, and this week Senior Editor James Booth got some mail from someone that isn’t a reader; at least not a regular reader. Way back in November of 2004, we featured a review of the Logitech MX1000 Laser mouse, the industry’s first laser mouse available to the retail consumer. Scott here apparently purchased a Logitech MX1000 Laser mouse and is rather displeased; he therefore has taken it upon himself to voice his displeasure to anyone that happens to like the mouse. Read on for Scott’s feelings on the MX1000, and James’ rather constructive reply.

Is BPL the helpful key to nearly universal high-speed Internet access or a technology that could cripple our critical radio frequency infrastructure? This is the question that Computing Unplugged Magazine set out to answer. This article contains the result of our in-depth analysis.

Poor Chano Gomez! When he pitched us an interview on Broadband-over-Powerline (BPL), little did this BPL manufacturer know that he’d be touching off a firestorm of debate. Two months and more than a dozen articles later, Chano’s graciously consented to another interview, this time to answer the charges against BPL from its detractors. We have to give special "props" to Chano. Not only did he agree to step up and answer some tough questions, he also did so while on vacation in Europe. So, special thanks go out to him for taking the time to help us understand this issue more fully.
