...going to be a disappointing season," says Ashok Kumar, tech analyst at Collins Stewart, an advisory firm. Kumar points out that life cycles of desktop computers are stretching from four years to as much as six years; laptops used to last about three years; now consumers are getting an extra year out of them. "Parents are asking kids to make use of existing resources, just like companies," Kumar says. Over the past four years, Beemer has asked consumers which type of electronics item they would be most likely to buy for their children for school. Computers were the most popular...

"Talk about the wrong message at the wrong time," Democratic Senator Claire McCaskill of Missouri said. "While American families are tightening their belts there is no way we should be buying extra executive jets." The anger had clearly spread. "Lawmakers justifiably pilloried the auto industry CEOs for flying on corporate jets," said Steve Ellis of the nonprofit group Taxpayers for Common Sense.
