But when it comes to technology and gadgets, I turn to Jeff Bakalar, Editor at Large at CNET.  It’s a good arrangement: When Jeff has a personal finance question, he knows who to call. And when I need help purchasing a new phone or want to understand what lies ahead on the tech landscape, Jeff returns the favor.
