Do You Tutor Your Kids Yourself?
With the school year back in full swing and youngsters' backpacks filling with papers and projects, many parents are finding themselves seated next to their offspring as they make their way through a growing mountain of assignments.

A Rainbow of Technicolor Toys and Goodies
Everyone has a favorite color, and lucky for us, gadgets and accessories come in all hues. From cherry Vaio computers, pretty-in-pink laptop bags, yellow USB devices, to basic and black laptops. We've shown you a rainbow of gadgets, gizmos, and accessories this month to support creative back-to-school shopping — here's a look back at all our favorite technicolor toys.

Black may be basic and the expected color of PCs and cell phones, but it can be just as sleek and chic as white and silver. It hides stains and scratches and projects an air of seriousness. I mean, there's a reason offices filled with accountants and lawyers use black laptops and desktops and not cherry red minis, right?
