Switched: Best of the Week

We started the week off a bit groggy with the switch to daylight savings time. Outrageous cell phone bill stories seemed to be in the air, and Ticketmaster isn't doing much to bring in new fans; the company revealed this week that it had been scalping tickets on secondary Web sites. If you missed these stories, they're all here, and if you've already seen them, read them again.
- It's been a tough time for the newspaper industry, and Time chronicles ten Web sites that may not make it through the next year.
- You've known all along it's only a matter of time until viruses, worms, and other malware come to your cell phone, especially as phones become increasingly powerful and connected. Yxes.A, a new worm also known as "Sexy View," is targeting Nokia handsets.
- We've got four (1, 2, 3, 4) videos highlighting the toys of 2009.
- In case you're dreading another week at work, embrace your inner kid and check out these hot-rodded Power Wheels (you know, those plastic mini-cars for kids).'
- This week we started a new feature highlighting great tech deals around the Web. Check back here every day for tech bargains.
