Editors' Top PicksSee All
Laptops with touch screens aren't new territory for HP. Windows 8 and its touch-friendly interface, however, gives consumers more of a reason to have one, even on traditional laptop designs like the HP Envy TouchSmart Ultrabook 4 (4t-1100 series to be precise).
It looks like a pretty standard laptop, albeit a nice-looking one, with brushed black metal on the outside with nothing but a simple HP logo decorating the lid. There's silver trim around the outside, giving you a hint about the brushed silver metal inside surrounding the keyboard.
The ultrabook branding may make you think the Envy is especially thin and light; it is not. However, at a little less than an inch thick and weighing 4.5 pounds, it's certainly not huge and heavy.
Open it up and you'll see there's barely a bezel around the 14-inch touch screen, so you can more easily take advantage of Windows 8's active edges for opening the Charms bar , closing apps, or flipping through your open windows. The screen's hinges are fairly stiff, but there is still some bounce when tapping and swiping the screen (just how much depends on the angle of the screen and strength of your taps). It does not go all the way flat, so drawing or writing or using the onscreen keyboard isn't a great experience; a Windows 8 tablet or something like the Dell XPS 12 would be a better choice.
For those expecting a 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution display, you'll have to spend more money for the HP Spectre XT TouchSmart ; the Envy's resolution is 1,366x768 pixels, which is what we're seeing on many sub-$1,000 ultrabooks. The quality is good with nice color and contrast, though it does invert when you're looking up at it. Off-angle viewing to the sides is fine, though.
The keyboard is shallow, so there's not much key travel. But that can be said of many ultrabooks with island-style keyboards; it's something that gets sacrificed with slimmer bodies. It's otherwise a nice keyboard, with big, square well-spaced keys.
The touch pad is big, but it lacks discrete mouse buttons. Instead you'll just see a line sectioning off the bottom of the pad for left and right clicks. The touch pad is a bit too sensitive to brushes from your palm when typing at the default settings, but it can be adjusted somewhat with its software. A double tap in the upper left corner quickly shuts the pad off.
You can also turn on and off multitouch gestures for pinch-to-zoom, rotate, and two-finger scrolling. And for those times when you don't feel like getting fingerprints on your screen, you can use the touch pad for the active edge functions of Windows 8, such as bringing up the Charms bar.

6 Republican Economic Myths Obama and Dems Must Stop Repeating
Stay up to date with the latest headlines via email.
President Obama pulled off a surprisingly strong reelection victory on Nov. 6—holding Romney to a remarkably appropriate 47 percent – by standing up for fairer taxation and a set of programs to assist the vast majority of Americans.
But prior to Obama switching into campaign mode, the president and leading Democrats adopted the Republican framing of issues again and again, and thus made the task of sustaining the economic recovery and spreading its benefits much more difficult. The counter-factual Republican positions were shored up, while the Democratic base was often left disoriented and demoralized as their leaders echoed the talking points of the Republicans and the CEOs.
Let me put it more bluntly: without exaggerating, the president and Democratic spokesmen at times literally repeated key Republicans lies about the seriousness of the federal deficit, the steps necessary for a full economic recovery, taxes and jobs, and how to bring broadly shared prosperity back to an America increasingly split by Third World-level inequality.
Let's examine some of the most important Republican lies, look at how the Democrats repeated them and explore the reality that America faces.
1. Spending Cuts Spur Growth
The Republicans have repeatedly argued that the federal government's strategy in a recession should be no different than that of a family strapped for cash: avoiding any unnecessary outlays (except for tax cuts for the richest 2 percent) and getting out of debt as rapidly as possible. The successful Keynesian strategy of public spending to stimulate the private economy-- employed by FDR to relieve the Great Depression -- is a gigantic historical truth that is denied by House Budget Chair Paul Ryan (R-Wis.) and his like-minded colleagues.
Instead, the Republicans have fallen back upon a simplistic and false formula of "spend less, owe less, grow more." Rep. Jeb Hensarling, R-Texas outlined the prevailing GOP attitude when he claimed that, "Deficit reduction is part of job creation." In short, cutting stimulative government spending and reducing public employment somehow contributes to economic growth despite the resultant weakening of already feeble consumer demand.
But if the Republicans' all-season, all-purpose economic strategy of tax cuts and their denial of Keynesian historic successes remain mystifying to outsiders, equally strange has been many Democrats' eagerness to repeat the Republican lie that cuts in government spending somehow lead to economic health. This myth has been propped up by numerous Democrats and helps to shift the current "fiscal-cliff" budget to the Republicans' advantage.
One of the worst moments occurred during President Obama's 2010 State of the Union address, when he promoted a ludicrously false analogy between families' budgets and the federal government's. Obama's statement was perilously close to a direct re-statement of the Republicans denial of reality.
"Government has to start living within its means, just like families do. We have to cut the spending we can't afford so we can put the economy on sounder footing, and give our businesses the confidence they need to grow and create jobs," the president declared.
With statements like these, Obama and the Democrats contributed mightily to making the task of winning adequate stimulus measures much more difficult. As New York Times columnist Nicholas Kristof observed in 2010, "For all their flaws, Congressional Republicans have been stunningly successful in framing the national debate. Instead of discussing a jobs program to deal with the worst downturn in 70 years, we're debating spending cuts."
2. Only Private-Sector Job Growth Matters
The Republicans have incessantly portrayed government employment as a counterproductive drain on the private economy, siphoning away tax dollars, consumer spending power and entrepreneurial vigor from the private sector and the real economy. The notion that the private sector could function entirely without public sector workers to plow the roads, maintain the highways, protect the public health, assure public safety through police and fire protection, and educate future workers lies just beneath the surface of remarks by leading Republican figures.

California rejects proposal to label GM foods
12:47 PM MST | November 7, 2012 | Kara Sissell
Voters in California have rejected Proposition 37, a ballot measure that aimed to require food manufacturers to label all foods containing more than 0.5% genetically modified (GM) ingredients. About 54% voted to oppose the labeling requirement, a sharp rise from September, when less that 40% opposed labeling. However, television and radio ads, paid for by industry leaders such as Monsanto and Syngenta, helped sway public perception of GM foods. Also, the American Association for the Advancement of Science (Washington) last week issued a statement that...

After weeks of speculation, Williams have confirmed that Felipe Massa will join them ahead of the 2014 Formula One season.
In the wake of this year's Italian Grand Prix, Massa announced that he would be leaving Ferrari at the end of the season having spent eight years with the Scuderia.
The 32-year-old was adamant at the time that parting ways with Ferrari would not spell the end of his Formula One career.
Almost immediately rumours surfaced claiming he could be off to Williams although Lotus' name was later added to the list.
However, it is Williams who have secured the 11-time grand prix winner's signature.
"When I was a kid, I always dreamed of racing for Williams, Ferrari or McLaren and I'm glad to be signing with another icon of the sport," said Massa.
The Brazilian is hopeful that new technical director Pat Symonds, who is set to institute a restructure and recruitment programme, will see Williams' fortunes improve next year, as new engine and chassis rules provide what should, at least inititally, be a more level playing field.
"The team wants to grow. It is already a big team but they are really pushing hard to go back to what they were in the past," he said.
"It is a team to fight for the championships and good results and I really want to be a part of it. I understand what they are doing to get stronger. I think we can be very successful and I believe it is the best choice compared to the other choices I had."
Team founder and principal Sir Frank Williams says Massa is "an exceptional talent and a real fighter on the track", while his daughter Claire, the deputy team principal, said: "Felipe has demonstrated his talent and speed over the years, as well as his ability to motivate and drive a team to championship success."
Claire Williams added that acquiring Massa's services was "a key step towards our goal of returning Williams to the front of the grid and part of our ongoing plans to ensure we are stronger in 2014 and beyond".

It may not pay, but its refuse certainly is valuable. This revealing episode illustrates the surprising fate of criminal detritus.
- Scrap or treasure? What happens to machines once their useful life has ended?
- The legitimate afterlife of ill-gotten gains and the tools of illegal trades.
- An innovative look at the ultimate in reuse, recycle, reduce.''
All creations, great or small, have a limited lifespan. BONEYARD is a visually captivating and richly informative new series from THE HISTORY CHANNEL® that uncovers the beneficial afterlife of our age's defunct technology. From trains to ships to demolition debris, learn the innovation, creativity and technical prowess that make waste useful again.
After the gavel has fallen, the sentence is passed and the cell's door slams, what happens to the loot? While it's true that crime doesn't pay, it is also true that it leaves a lot of useful stuff - from weapons and valuables, to technology and information - in its wake.
Visit the BONEYARD where crime's ill-gotten gains are repurposed for the greater good. See how crime's refuse is mined for everything from secure warehouses to underwater tourist attractions to computer databases.
In this BONEYARD, some seized property becomes tools to fight crime, some is destroyed and some is transformed to create good from the ruins of evil.
Whatever its fate, it was never what the criminals had in mind, and it's always fascinating.

This duvet set is nice, but it is NOT white. It is tan and purple. I do not think I would have ordered it had I known that it was tan. I really like the picture with the clean white and purple. The package actually says "grey & purple". The quality is ok for the price. I think it will hold up ok in the wash. The duvet is printed and the material is on the thinner side. But again for the price this is ok with me. The actual duvet cover is a good size, I have it on a full bed and it hangs over by at least a foot on each side. Pillows are ok too. My only issue is with the colors. I am not sending it back because I don't want to deal with exchanging it.
Design is nice, however we were very disappointed the colors are not even close to those in the photo. The purple in the large flowers are more of a muted purple and it definitely isn't white or even cream... it's more of a grey/faint purple. I'm really glad we hadn't painted our guestroom prior to getting this. It definitely would have clashed with what we picked out and has been fairly difficult to coordinate with (in terms of the color scheme we had wanted to use in the room). One of the decorative pillows also came a little damaged (looked as if the string used had bled a little onto the white of the pillow- hoping Overstock will replace it). If I had known the colors were so misrepresented I probably would not have bought this product, but since it's only a duvet cover and can be easily switched out and looks nice in the guestroom we're going to keep it. Just really sucks we had to scrap what we were planning to do and start from scratch.
I'm disappointed. I was going by the photo, which as it turns out, is a comforter (on this site also), not the duvet. Product looks on the cheap side. I knew the colors weren't as described looking at other reviews...that worked for me because of my carpet and wall colors. But I was expecting a better look and feel. Check out the comforter if you want your bed to look like this photo.
We were looking for grey, white and purple and found the white to be beige. A little disappointing, but it was accepted. It was a gift to my daughter-in-law. Maybe the colors should have been listed and not having to rely on a picture alone.
The set is average, its for my teen daughter, However I was a little disappointed the cream color is hardly cream, Its more like a dull grey. Its still workable but we were expecting a totally different color.
I was on a hunt for bedding and wanted to get rid of the brown and teal bedding set I had for quite some time. As someone who likes the color purple, this set was what I had expected. I've never used a duvet and glad to say that this was a good choicechoice for my first duvet cover. The flowers give a nice accent to the entire set. The material of the set is quite good. With the number of sets I had looked through , this one had stood out to me the most. I don't regret this purchase.
Love it! Very pretty and girly! Like other reviewers said the color is a little more grey when there is less light in the room -- keep that in mind.
This set looked exactly as shown in the picture. Duvet cover was perfect size for my Queen comforter and color was perfect. It was definitely beige and purple, but that's what I wanted. It was packed well and delivered quickly. I'm very pleased with this set, especially having the extra pillows that match.
The comforter was not what I was expecting, it was flat meaning, they did not but the down part to fluff it up, I think that was false advertisement, the picture look fluffy and the one I got was flat, I won't be ordering comforters from overstock.
Absolutely love this set. Quality was good. Fit beautifully on bed. Colors are cream - dark purple and gray. Used Benjamin more edge comb gray - looks gorgeous. Couldn't e happier
