...fictional Donnie Hoyle--an angry, sarcastic, cuckolded Photoshop expert--it was launched in late December and ended 10 episodes later, in April, when Donnie mysteriously disappeared. Not that you ever saw him. In the videos, the camera remains centered on a computer desktop and follows Donnie's cursor as he conducts mock tutorials on how to use the photo-altering application. Sound obscure? Maybe not. With the explosion of blogging and do-it-yourself publishing, Photoshop has become one of the Web generation's indispensable tools.

Each person completed three separate tests, then was retested two weeks later...
...rivals, members of the OQO team, which got going in 2000 and has received funding from Paladin Capital Group and Motorola, spent hundreds of hours designing and refining prototype keyboards. Theirs is more about thumb typing than table typing. They obsessed over the mini-mouse device that controls the cursor, called a "trackstick," trying to make it feel, in their words, "buttery." FlipStart took a more-is-better approach, incorporating both a trackstick and a touch...
