You can also send a message to display on its screen if the phone is far away--say, in a restaurant. Or if it gets stolen out of your hands (as Kevin Bacon's BlackBerry was last month), you can erase everything on your phone remotely.

Boris is the king of pessimists, but into each reign some life must fall. It comes in the pretty package of Melody St. Ann Celestine (Evan Rachel Wood), who might be as old as 20 and who's run away from her Mississippi family to end up homeless in Manhattan. She talks her way into a stay in Boris' place, and in a trice, she has kind of a crush on him. They get married...
