Looking to buy a new TV? One thing's for sure: you'll want to do your own research. That's because a new survey shows electronics store salespeople might not be keeping up with changing technology.

A new survey from J.D Power and Associates found salespeople recommended liquid crystal display TVs over plasma screens about three-fourths of the time. However, more than a third of the salespeople warned customers about images "burning into" plasma screens.

The only problem with that? Burn-in hasn't been a serious issue for several years now. The survey was based on more than 2,000 "mystery shoppers" sent into stores during the last six months.

Apple is facing some criticism from iPhone users who claim the phone's global positioning system (GPS) function is not exactly "driver friendly." While GPS is better in Google maps, thanks to the new iPhone firmware update, it still has a way to go.

Consumer Reports suggests Apple should add voice prompts to tell drivers where to go.
Apple has signaled in recent interviews that the GPS technology will evolve with new software, but that could take months, possibly even longer.

And finally our Link of the Day. According to the Website “Insult Your Boss Day,” Wednesday is the day to do just that. It says the holiday, while not official, has a long and illustrious history. If you're a little scared to insult your boss in person, this site offers a full illustrated guide and some "how-to" methods to help.
