Hopefully, at this point, everyone has recovered from their turkey- and stuffing- induced food coma. We are getting back to business, and are looking forward to a busy week in the Seattle technology community. But before moving ahead, we're taking a look back at the most discussed stories on TechFlash of the past week. Here's what you missed in case you're just tuning in, along with some featured reader comments.

"Datel sues Microsoft over Xbox 360 memory unit crackdown" (23 comments): "Now that MS has killed my Datel, and effectively erased all my game saves I've decided that I like my PS3 better. I am the customer MS should want to keep, not drive away." -- Reader Moses Joseph.

"Microsoft, Murdoch vs. Google: Smart move, or sheer madness?" (15 comments): "Google is just a well paid paper boy, News Corp would rather not pay the paper boy so much to throw the paper in your drive way. This is Ballmer's genius in deconstructing the paper boy's rich paper route." -- Reader Andrew Milligan.

"Exclusive: InfoSpace gets into ecommerce biz with Haggle" (11 comments): "What's entertaining is that Haggle started out as a small auction website acquired by Go2Net for an absurd amount of money; this was in the dotcom era when you could sell anything with an HTML tag for millions of dollars. The site was eventually decommissioned once it was by realized by the powers-that-be that it had no value. Go2Net was eventually acquired by InfoSpace, and it's amusing to see the long-dead site being reanimated in it's current form." -- Reader Go2Net Alumni.

"Seattle angels back DevHub" (8 comments): "The investment received by DevHub/EvoMedia will add to the creative and innovative progress they have shown over the past year. DevHub is a media force to watch." --Reader clickbobb.

"What's on your geek gift list?" (8 comments): "Me, I just want gadgets that remain cool and useful after 90 days out of the box, and don't require a manual for basic functions. (In the four years I reviewed gadgets for Q13, the latter was a key evaluation component -- that a mere mortal could get started without the manual.)" --Reader Frank Catalano.
