Want to know what you can and can't bring through airport security on this busy travel weekend? There's an app for that. The free My TSA iPhone app helps fliers find out from the Transportation Security Administration what items they can bring through security checkpoints. It also lists security wait times at U.S. airports.

Apple computers are usually pricey but not this expensive. The first ever Apple computer sold at auction Tuesday for about $210,000. Introduced in 1976, the Apple One came without a keyboard, power supply or display. But this one came with a signed "Thank you" letter from Apple CEO Steve Jobs.
