Selling digital camera for cash
Please move to a better thread if you feel this will be better. I have a Samsung ES70 digital camera. I can't use it anymore as a quarter of the screen has dead pixels on it and in patches. I want to know if I can recycle this for cash. Could anyone recommend a website for this?

HP TouchPad - surely worth a punt?
The TouchPad has been canned, and HP's impending firesale changes everything. For £89 (16GB) or £115 (32GB), I’d snap one up in a second, even in the knowledge that support from HP will be limited in the future.

Mac OS upgrade - is it worth it?
I'm a PC user who knows very little about Macs, I'm asking this on behalf of my neighbour who has used a Mac for years but still knows less than I do :D . The Mac dates from 2006 and has an Intel dual core processer running OS X 10.4.11 (Tiger I believe). There are a few things that it can't do any more as a more recent OS…
