More importantly, Mr. Jones will win Visa’s Triple Crown Challenge, a $5 million bonus. Smarty’s going to be getting some phone calls from lady friends who may have blown him off a year or two ago. Oh, hi Smarty! Yeah, I just thought I’d call, you know, to say hi. I heard you won the Triple Crown, that’s great! Listen, I just got my tail done...
...voice (Karaoke Revolution). Now get ready for AntiGrav, the game you play wearing fluorescent gloves. Via the EyeToy, a mini-camera that plugs into PlayStation 2, AntiGrav (due this fall from Harmonix) senses your glove movements and uses them to control a futuristic hoverboarder--ducking, doing tricks and grabbing bonus points.

Still, the ones who have been fired probably deserved it. "To my knowledge, I haven't seen...
...lavishly paid, but they have been trying to catch up. Not anymore. The board of British drug firm GlaxoSmithKline cut the pay package of CEO Jean-Pierre Garnier last December after shareholders voted it down at the annual meeting. (He still earned $5 million last year in salary and bonus, a 14% raise.) Even at Ahold, which was in need of a white knight following an accounting scandal last year, the new CEO, Anders Moberg, faced a storm of criticism over his guaranteed $1.68 million bonus for each of his first two years.
