Just in time for the holidays, the Churchill Club brings you two of the most influential journalists in technology today to lead this show-and-tell discussion on the strengths and weaknesses as well as trends in consumer electronics and gadgets. Joining the journalists will be two technology gadget freaks. Previous panelists have included Yahoo! founder Jerry Yang and Google founder Larry Page. The panel will talk about their favorite consumer tech products, which ones they consider worth the money and which ones are over-rated. They will name names and candidly answer your questions.

Walt Mossberg is the author and creator of the weekly "Personal Technology" column, which appears in The Wall Street Journal. He also writes "Mossberg's Mailbox" where he answers readers' questions, and "The Mossberg Solution", which compares and contrasts consumer electronic gadgets. Newsweek magazine calls him "the most powerful arbiter of consumer tastes in the computer world today".

Kara Swisher is a technology writer in The Wall Street Journal's San Francisco bureau, where she writes on high tech issues. She is the author of two books on the rise and fall of America Online. The first, "aol.com: How Steve Case Beat Bill Gates, Nailed the Netheads and Made Millions in the War for the Web", and the sequel, "There Must Be a Pony in Here Somewhere: The AOL Time Warner Debacle and the Quest for a Digital Future".

Together, Mossberg and Swisher are the producers of a major annual technology conference, "D: All Things Digital", where they have interviewed such important industry leaders as Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Meg Whitman and others and demo new digital technology.
