Design Simple WordPress Themes With Lubith
Lubith is a service aimed at people who want to create their own customized WordPress theme, rather than use a premade one. What’s nice about Lubith is that it doesn’t require any sort of coding skills or CSS knowledge; all you need to do is drag and drop things, pick colors, set a few fonts if you like, and you’re done–Lubith generates a valid WordPress theme for your website. It’s available in a free version and in an $ 87 one-year subscription. Unfortunately, I can’t say Lubith is powerful. Even if you utilize its full power, dragging things all over the canvas and changing colors with abandon, you are still going to end up with something that looks fairly generic. It allows for roughly the same level of customization you can get with highly customizable free theme WP Paintbrush–and just like WP Paintbrush, it is eclipsed in features by Artisteer, [...]

The Toshiba Satellite P755-3DV20 laptop, as its model number suggests, is touted for its 3D capabilities. It isn’t the prettiest laptop I’ve ever seen, and some aspects of its design (namely its keyboard, its touchpad, and the bright LEDs all over the place) could use some work, but it’s a solid performer and it displays 3D very well. Our review model, priced at $ 1200 (as of October 10, 2011), comes with a second-generation Intel Core i5 processor, a discrete Nvidia GeForce GT 540M graphics card, and 6GB of RAM (upgradable to 16GB). It also has a 750GB hard drive that spins at 5400 rpm, as well as a Blu-ray Disc player and a built-in webcam and microphone. The 64-bit version of Windows 7 Home Premium is preinstalled. In performance, the Satellite P755-3DV20 is average for its category. On our WorldBench 6 benchmark tests, it achieved a score of 115, [...]
Samsung UN46D8000 LED HDTV Review: Delicious Design, Excellent Features, and Great Image Quality
Samsung UN46D8000 46″ 3D LED TV (1920×1080, 240Hz, HDTV, LED Backlight, 3D) Review, by Yardena Arar September 23, 2011 With its Series 8 models, Samsung can lay claim to one of the skinniest bezels in the business: less than 0.25 inch between the edge of the 46-inch UN46D8000YF and its 1080p LED-backlit LCD panel. And because the bezel is mostly clear, with a silvery edge, the set’s image seems to occupy its entire surface. One notable rival in the thin-bezel sweepstakes is the Sony Bravia 46HX820. Even better, these good looks accompany solid image quality and a long list of desirable features, including 3D support (with a pair of active-shutter glasses), Wi-Fi, a built-in Web browser, oodles of apps, and robust streaming-media services. You can even make Skype video calls with an optional webcam, and an unusual two-sided remote provides a QWERTY keyboard to help with data entry. But with [...]
