Top Tech Gifts for Dads and Grads

Powered by Google's smart TV technology, this book-sized set top box connects your HDTV, cable box, and DVR to our home network, allowing the four to switch easily between live, YouTube, and Netflix or Amazon movies, while streaming music, surfing the Web, checking e-mail, and updating Facebook. Parental controls help keep a safe distance between younger surfers and the Web's seamier side. And instead of a half dozen remotes cluttering the coffee table (when they're not misplaced, that is), we can do it all from the Smart TV's wireless keyboard. That alone is worth it.
