Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

HP Computers have announced their partnership with the upcoming Sex and the City movie sequel, whose star Sarah Jessica Parker will sport one of the company's 'digital clutches.'

Designed by Vivienne Tam - her Butterfly Lovers netbook premiered on her runway in 2008 - the handbag-sized mini computer will star as the columnist's steady companion (next to Mr. Big of course, even though we hear that Aidan is making a comeback in the movie).

The electronics brand's move follows several other attempts made by its rivals recently to lure fashion fans into the world of gadgets: just this week, a new phone commercial released by LG showed actress Eva Longoria Parker and fashion designer Victoria Beckham, 'hanging out' as 'best friends,' while looking stylish.

Other recent pairings between fashion and technology brought about a Dell laptop range that can be matched to your OPI nail polish colors, as well as numerous fashion cell phones by the likes of Dior, Armani, and Prada.

Coinciding with its announcement, HP has released another trailer for Sex and the City 2, which can be watched at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wo8qBJn-4ek.
