The best Black Friday deals
Today it's all about the turkey, but tomorrow it's all about the deals. After this year's sluggish economy, many electronics retailers are offering steep Black Friday discounts on popular tech items to fill their stores and get their cash registers ringing -- saving you a bundle in the process.
Rule number one before cracking open your wallet is to do your homework -- but this year, I did it for you. That's right, while you're stuffing your face and watching college football games on the couch I scoured the Web and put together this list of some of the best deals I could find.
If you're interested in browsing more deals, check out PC World's earlier Black Friday coverage, The Best Black Friday Deals, 2008.

Loads of noisy people roaming around? This Bluetooth headset virtually eliminates background noise so your calls are clearer. Sophisticated sensors inside the Jawbone headset isolate your speech from unwanted background noise so you won't have to shout anymore. And at such a low price (usually $60 to $80), this iconic headset is a must-buy -- if not for you, then as a gift.

Either way you look at it Microsoft Data Center management did not follow standards or best practices in this failure. In which case it makes me wonder more about the outsourcing of corporate data much less personal data.
