...stretches of the movie is, first, a car crash - which, in the manner of Hong Kong action films, is shown as an instant replay, from four views - and then a long car chase. Here's the set-up: On a film shoot in Tennessee, a stuntwoman (played by Zoe Bell, who was Uma Thurman's double on Kill Bill) hears that 1970 Dodge Challenger, just like the one in Vanishing Point, is for sale. She and her girlfriends visit the peckerwood who has the car, and three of them take it for a test drive while one of them stays...

On-the-go users want to check their calendar on a train or get Web access while standing in line for a movie, he says. "Putting a mobile device like this in a clamshell feels like old-think. It's a holdover of how people viewed the last generation of computing. We're creating the next generation of computing." Did he just call Paul Allen out of touch...
Lowell House’s historic Russian bells are officially headed back to the motherland, following a formal agreement inked in Moscow Tuesday between Harvard representatives and officials from the Danilov Monastery in the Russian capital. Last week, a delegation from the University visited the Vera Bell Foundry, which was selected to mold the bells that will replace Lowell’s current set, and closed a deal to have the original bells shipped back by the summer of 2008. Lowell House Master Diana L. Eck said that the agreement, which marks the conclusion of negotiations that began last September...
