If you're planning on shopping for electronics this holiday season, such as a PC, camera, phone or television, then we have some required reading for you. Walt Mossberg, the highly regarded technology columnist for the Wall Street Journal, put together a list of the latest technology terminology that consumers are going to face this shopping season.

You can see the entire list on his web site.

We encourage you spend some time on the web site in general, because it has a lot of useful information - and its both free and unbiased. We read Walt's columns in the Journal every week. More importantly, Walt has a great gift in looking at technology from a consumer's standpoint and highly sought after by IT industry as a consultant for his ability to use products as non-IT people would.
