What's not to like about the last-minute holiday shopping rush, what with the last-minute crowds and picked-over shelves? A lot, you say? At this point, you may not be able to avoid the last-minute crush, but these ideas may help to ease

Since digital cameras were first developed in the late 1980s, sensor resolution has increased continuously every year, and almost every new camera or update of an existing model has featured a more powerful sensor.
However there's a point at which simply adding more megapixels ceases to have any real benefit, and in fact can have a negative effect.
Cramming more photocells onto a tiny compact camera sensor means those photocells have to be smaller, and are therefore less efficient at capturing light, especially at low light levels, leading to reduced dynamic range and more noise at higher ISO settings.

Ideal for entertaining, this 1500-watt appliance brews a fresh cup of gourmet coffee, tea, or cocoa in less than a minute.
The unit uses patented K-Cups, which offer over 150 different varieties of pre-measured gourmet coffee, tea, and cocoa from a variety of premium brands. Its patented one-touch technology provides precise control over brewing, and there's no messy grinding or clean up. Simply open the lid, insert a K-Cup, close the lid, and select a cup size.
Four brew-size options include a 5-1/4-ounce robust cup, a 7-1/4-ounce regular cup, a 9-1/4-ounce large mug, and an 11-1/4-ounce extra-large mug. Set the brew size and brew temperature with easy-to-use controls. Other thoughtful details include a blue-backlit 60-ounce water reservoir that removes for simple filling, a programmable blue-backlit LCD message center, a convenient 24-hour digital clock, Quiet Brew technology, and a removable drip tray for quick cleanup. UL- and c-UL-approved for household use only, the single-cup home brewing system measures 13-1/4 by 10 by 13 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

Your rights are based around two main points - why you want to take the item back and where it was bought.

GM and Chrysler may have won a $17.4 billion gift from the government a week before Christmas, but at their showrooms barely a creature was stirring.
