PC World recently released their 100 Best Products of 2008.  Always a great topic for debate, these “Top/Best” lists, no?

Number of retailers: 11.  Wegman’s, Starbucks, Whole Foods, Nugget Markets, eBay, The Container Store, Stew Leonard’s, Recreational Equipment, Nordstrom, CarMax and Publix.  (Six grocery store chains?  Well OK then.)  Wegman’s [...]
