No, no, no. This isn't some Dan Brown-inspired homage to products attributed to Lucifer or some such crazy thing. We mean autumn. You know, when the leaves change. We went through all the reviews we did over the past three months and ordered them by rating. So these are the best products we've reviewed so far this fall.

And as usual there's a prize. A lame prize. And you can win it by watching the video, then coming back to this blog post and answering the question in the comments below. Be one of the first 10 to answer correctly, and you could be randomly chosen to win.

Last week's answer: HTC Dream T-Mobile G1

We're getting close to the holidays and we know you're starting to make your wish lists. So we're treating this month's most popular products list as a request. You're spending a lot of your time viewing these products. We get it. Feel free to send this video around to friends and family as a hint.

And while we're at it, let's give you something. Well, one of you. Go watch the video, answer the trivia question, and come back here and post your guess. It could light up your holidays. Literally.

The answer to last week's question was: The GNU Project.

Special hint. If you have a bogus e-mail address in your account, you won't win because you'll never get the e-mail. Just a thought.

The old most popular list is really coming back into its own these days. For a while there I thought it would be all phones forever. But it's two months running with only two phones on the list. I guess most of you all finally picked a phone and are moving on to better TVs, Netbooks, etc.

So watch in good health this week and then come back to this blog post and take a crack at answering the trivia question for a chance at winning the lame prize.

Once again on this edition of the Top 5 video, we count down the highest-rated products of the past three months. Watch to find out which of the blistering summer releases was rated the highest by CNET editors. There's some stiff competition out there, and some big surprises.

Also remember to post an answer to the trivia question below for a chance to win the retro CNET thumb drive.--so retro it's less than a gigabyte in capacity. It is called "lame prize" after all.

Update: Many below have guessed "Sony PS3 Slim" as the correct answer to the trivia question. The Sony PS3 Slim was not out at the recording of this show, so it was not the "number 6" and not the answer I had in mind. The correct answer still ranks number 6, even if the Slim had been out, because it's user ranking is higher than the Slim's right this second. So keep guessing.

Get ready for an eyeful of ugly this week.

We count down the worst-looking tech products, as judged by an impartial panel of me and a bunch of people on Twitter and Facebook.

And, as usual, there is a lame prize. One of the lamer ones, actually. Something called CubeGuard. Well, it's all yours if you're one of the first 10 people to post an answer correctly in the comments.

Oh, and by the way, make sure your registered e-mail address is correct, or I can't contact you about where to send the prize!

Once again, we dig into the CNET traffic logs to find out what reviews you folks have been looking at in the greatest numbers. Lately, it's been dominated by phones, but the Netbooks have started to make a move. What will the makeup be this week? Watch the video and find out.

Then come back here to post your answer to our trivia question for a chance to win a CES backpack--worn by actual journalists! But hey, it's still free.

Time once again to check in on the products you folks are spending the most time looking at on CNET these days. Remember, these are based purely on the number of page views for the product review page.

Just like that cheerleader, Brittany, you knew in high school, these aren't necessarily the best, but they are the most popular.

And don't forget to be one of the first 10 people to watch the video and then post the correct answer to the trivia question in the blog comments below. That Mandelbrot Set commemorative T-shirt is waiting for you.

It's time to check in on the most popular products of the month, which usually means phones. This month is no exception. We do have one not-phone. And to keep the suspense, we don't know which of the phones will be number one. Note: this all came out before the iPhone 3G S.

So watch the video and come back here to post your answer to the lame-prize trivia question.

This week, Corel came out with a brand-new suite of office applications for XP, Vista, and Windows 7 users. Corel Home Office ($69.99) bundles in three applications: Write, the word processor, Calculate, the spreadsheet maker, and Show, the presentations builder.

Corel Home Office differs from other Corel office suites in two ways. First, it's been written with a new code base, so it's not a perfect continuation of Corel WordPerfect Office. It doesn't hurt that the suite is the near-spitting image of Microsoft Office 2007 in layout and design.

Second, it has been optimized for Netbooks, both in terms of a smaller footprint (just over 100MB) that translates into lighter features (Corel sticks to core tasks) and a couple concessions for the small screen. The best of these is the F11 button, which hides the menu bar, significantly increasing the amount of screen visible on a Netbook.

As a result of its lighter features and lighter footprint, the suite is aimed toward home users--both casual consumers and those operating home businesses. While there are strong features in this suite--like a built-in PDF maker in each of the three apps--there are detractions, too. Converting files from Microsoft Office into Corel Home Office was sometimes off, and the results from pasting data were imperfect. While it's meant for the budget-conscious, freebies like OpenOffice.org offer a full-featured suite for no cost and may be better suited for Netbook, laptop, and desktop users looking for more powerful tools. However, it may also provide casual users with more functionality than they really need.

Corel Home Office isn't for everyone, but it does hold its own as a midrange productivity suite. It has the added bonus of giving Microsoft users a very familiar workflow and feel in a smaller, cheaper, and less cluttered format.
