...vouch for the fact that whether they're on Blu-ray or HD DVD, movies look much better than they do on standard DVDs. Pop in the Blu-ray edition of Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby that comes with the PS3, and you're blown away by the detail (and by how old and pockmarked Will Ferrell and John C. Reilly look up close). Likewise, load up the copy of Peter Jackson's King Kong that ships with the Xbox HD DVD player, fast forward to an action scene and suddenly, there are two T-Rexes...
...Crimson will need more than a big game from its big man. They will also have to avoid the fate that befell the squad last year against Boston College, when Harvard—visibly rattled by the major-college atmosphere and talent level of the Eagles—was blown out in the early minutes. Michigan’s Crisler Arena seats 13,700 fans, a far cry from the 2,200 of Lavietes Pavilion, and is a good bet to be chock full of maize-clad Michigan students.Harvard can try to neutralize that psychological edge, as Cusworth mentioned...
...horn-based beat (think Scott Storch in the third grade) that leaves plenty of space for Akon’s ultra-smooth tenor to fill.

...digitized military enters next, flying back from Iraq to airlift the victims to safety. To the video’s credit, the effects are interspersed with actual footage of the tragedy fairly realistically. But why? Green Day and U2 go to the trouble of creating a full-blown alternate history to tell us something we already knew: the government blew it. In case the viewer hasn’t been convinced of the bands’ cleverness, the video closes with a sign that reads “Not as Seen on TV.” While their political views...
...Murtha is a controversial character, thanks to his ties to the 1980s Abscam affair (he was investigated but never charged) and more recently his lavish earmarking as a member of the appropriations committee. A full-blown ethics scandal would be a disaster for the Democrats as they enter their moment in the sun. And if Murtha loses, it's doubly bad for Pelosi. Not only would she have picked sides and lost, but she will have gone down fighting. Miller, for one, seems unfazed. "It's looking pretty good for Jack...
