...differences continue. Xbox has a thriving online community and plans to open a video download service on Nov. 22. However, it doesn't give you a web browser. The PS3 does have a browser, plus built-in Wi-Fi and support for Bluetooth wireless earpieces. The craziest thing is that Sony has permitted geeks to load additional operating systems onto the PS3, including Linux. With all that processing power, it's a generous offer, although probably not one that many people will take...
...player, the Zune has some technical failings. Its built-in radio is too staticky, no match for the radios found in iriver and Samsung MP3 players. It can't record radio streams, and there isn't even a way to program station presets. And unlike those competing devices, it doesn't have a built-in voice recorder.

For instance, say you're listening to a song and browsing through your music when you're suddenly interrupted by someone...

...course, the President and his party still have some built-in advantages. The gerrymandering of the past decade has turned the vast majority of congressional districts into fortresses for incumbents, to the point where the number of House seats in serious contention is only about three dozen, compared with roughly 100 in the 1994 landslide that brought the G.O.P. to power with a 54-seat pickup. And the Republicans retain their advantage in money and, most operatives on both sides agree, the pinpoint sophistication of their turnout operation among a conservative base in which Bush still has nearly 90% approval...
...schedule special events around the new book's release. But Penguin is deliberately keeping hands off such hoopla. "We're respecting the author's choice for us to stay apart from these things," says the Penguin rep. "Oh my god, that book will sell itself - there's a built-in audience of his fans," says Charles Day, marketing manager at the popular West Hollywood, California retailer Book Soup. Day expects to trumpet the release with large window displays, staff recommendations, and prominent placement of the hefty volumes near the cash register...
