The malls can be crazy during the holiday season with long checkout lines and little parking. But cyberspace is great spot to start your shopping. According to CNN, more than ever, people are doing their shopping over the Internet. Many consumers are going online to avoid crowds and parking. We've officially entered the holiday shopping season, and as retailers like to remind us, we're racing against the clock. But there's no need to panic. Time may be your most precious commodity this season, but help is on the way. In this guide, I've assembled some of the top online stores, hot deals and great gift ideas.

VoIP has been garnering much ink over the last year and is currently one of the hottest segments of the industry. The technology allows voice traffic to be routed over the Internet or corporate intranet--which means virtually no billing at all for some long-distance calls and just local charges for others. More important, is that it all happens behind the scenes and is transparent to the user. Simply pick up the phone and dial! The products available today can do this with no apparent loss in quality, and companies are jumping on board to save bundles of cash.
