From The Mercedes Benz SLK 350 to the McIntosh SOHO I Collection, the quest to posses the finer things drives our ambition to succeed. For a decade we at Owners Illustrated Magazine have been chronicling the exploits of the world's greatest business persons and with our coverage we have always found a place to illustrate their lifestyle and evaluate the products that they poses. This year we have been exhaustive in our reviews of Cars, Gadgets, and Video Games with 100 suggestions we recommend you strive to acquire, or if fortune finds you to your delight you might as well make the purchase tonight. We test everything you could imagine from home theater systems to some of the most exotic automobiles. One thing that has been consistent in our quest is that discovery of great Toyz are a life altering experiences. So first things first we are going to present our list following this brief intro and as certain as the sky is blue we will present to you over the next few days, in multiple formats from print, mobile, web, kindle, and digital download our full color "catalog" as our Texas representative Brian will say which includes links to the manufacturers website where you can proceed to make your purchase. Oh before we begin courtesy of our friends at Hulu (they made the list by the way) we are presenting two 3 month gift cards to enjoy a ton of content from TV and Film. All you have to do to win this great prize is to tweet this list and follow @ownersmag on twitter and we will be presenting our winners in Jan. I started this whole thing a decade ago in 2002 at a Funkmaster Flex car and I can almost tear up thinking a flyer querying who will be hip-hop's first billionaire will inspire others to make the bid themselves. I say this to say Own Your Destinymy first book is also on the list and shameless plug as it may be its my personal suggestion of a must have item because it a blueprint for starting an enterprise in the 21st century.

SOHO I Collection
Ask the average geek to describe the Apple II and you'll probably hear something about its legacy or software. Ask Steve Wozniak circa 1977, on the other hand, and he'll write you a technical tome -- or at least he did for Byte magazine. Way back when the classic computer was fresh, a young Woz penned an extremely detailed "system description" for the rig, pouring over specifics on the II's graphical capabilities, memory, peripherals, programming language and more. Perhaps in (slightly late) honor of the machine's 35th anniversary, Information Week has seen fit to reprint the extensive examination for your reading pleasure -- assuming you're up to wading through the technical nitty gritty. No? Well, Woz does have a few nuggets of wisdom for the layman. "To me," he says, "a personal computer should be small, reliable, convenient to use and inexpensive." No arguments here, Steve. Read the man's words for yourself at the source link below.

Information Week | Email this | Comments We've see BBC iPlayer reach many devices over time, but it's been conspicuously absent on Windows Phone. Nokia has stepped into give us some relief, and it's now promising that a port of the TV catch-up service will be ready for your Lumia 800 "in weeks." Good news no doubt, although Nokia's encyclopedic knowledge of British TV streaming is also dashing hopes of using the Sky Go mobile app on Windows Phone anytime soon: the same Nokia rep doesn't see Sky being ready for a "good few months" at the earliest. As such, you'll have no problems keeping up with Doctor Who and Sherlock when they're airing, but we wouldn't count on watching live football matches for awhile.

The Inquirer | Email this | Comments Samsung's sub-$200 Galaxy Player offers up PMP-stylings inside a smartphone shell. When our reviewer put it through its paces, we couldn't find much to commend it -- with poor sound quality and battery life that wouldn't manage a long-haul flight. The expandable storage and removable battery made it more desirable than the equivalent iPod touch, but given that it was retailing for $20 more (at the time), we'd have said go for a GoGear or D3 instead. But we suspect that despite our advice, some of you bought one, so tell us how you've found it on a daily basis and what should the company do when it comes time for a refresh?
