In today's Online

It's Thursday, so it must be time for another edition of Guardian Online, ("Probably the best technology supplement in the Guardian").

This week, with all the high street hoo-hah in the run-up to Christmas, we lead with a look at the rise of smart shoppers, those consumers who are using the web to their advantage.

We're also continuing our series of best buys for Christmas with a look at digital music players.

Elsewhere, technology veteran Ian Mackintosh explains why 3G is a cop-out; Ashley Norris guides you through the latest gadgets; Jack Schofield takes a peek at Microsoft's new blogging tools; Andrew Losowsky reveals what's so great about Sony's EyeToy; and MIT brainiac Sherry Turkle tells us why we're getting emotionally involved with our computers.

And how could we forget the results of our poll to find the best games of 2004? Thousands of people voted in their droves, and one lucky so-and-so came out of it all with a cracking Alienware PC. You can go and discuss the list over at Gamesblog.

And, as always, there's much, much more. Just click here to see the full contents.
