When Christmas shopping for the couple who was recently married, stay away from items that may have been wedding gifts. Instead, opt for fun and useful accessories for their kitchen. A simple serving tray is always welcome, as is a stylish tablecloth and napkin set.

Politics and the economy have been the big topics of conversation this year — with good reason — but since many families have a "no politics" clause during family get-togethers, the hot topics are usually off limits. If your family is anything like mine, it's those hot topics that end up dominating the conversation anyway.
Getting family together can be tough enough as it is without engaging in heated debate so tell me, what were the conversations at your table like this year?

Every year during the big Thanksgiving feast, my friend's family goes around the table and each of them shares a little bit about what the year was like for them.

Since we're on the topic of gender-neutral bedrooms, I decided to hunt down some nightstands for the nonpartisan rooms to help you get the look. Whether you're trying to fashion a successful cohabitation or you're just decorating a guest room or spare room, these tables are for you. The thing to remember is that your choice doesn't have to be bland to be neutral; you can still have color, ornamentation, shape, shine, and interesting materials without creating an overly feminine or masculine room.

With Valentine's Day right around the corner, we're kicking off our third annual Geeks We Love interview series to showcase some of the most talented and loved tech writers in the industry.

I had the pleasure of meeting Doug at the HTC Touch Diamond Event in London last year, and found him to be very much the way he comes across in his work — passionate and knowledgeable about technology, and a really great guy with an addictive sense of humor.

Drug Approvals
- Sitagliptin (Januvia), the first in a new class of diabetes drugs called DPP-4 inhibitors, was approved in 2006.
- Janumet, a 2-in-1 pill that contains both sitagliptin and metformin, was approved in 2007.
- These drugs are taken by mouth and may be more convenient for patients than exenatide (Byetta), a similar drug. DPP-4 inhibitors do not cause weight gain and may pose a lower risk for hypoglycemia than some other diabetes drugs.
Drug Safety Alert
Rosiglitazone (Avandia) may significantly increase the risk for heart attack, indicates a review published in the Journal of the American Medical Association. In 2007, a panel of experts from the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) agreed the drug increases the risk of heart attacks -- but concluded it should remain on the market.
