...processing Now you can immortalize special moments without hauling out the heavy hardware. The One-Time-Use Video Camcorder is compact and easy to handle, with enough bells and whistles to give you your money's worth - like the bright 1.4-in. LCD color screen and the playback button that lets you view the last bit you captured and delete it if it's rubbish. The casing is sturdy for a throwaway; the sound and video quality are perfectly acceptable (if a tad grainy at times). Once you have shot the full 20 minutes, you return the device...

The new system plays the movie from the server at the touch of a button. And because the film is not on film - it's stored as a digital data file instead of being printed on strips of celluloid - the quality never degrades. Shown by a digital projector, every movie, whether it's a grainy, black-and-white indie drama or a blockbuster killer-thriller, looks...

By tapping the remote's "Menu" button, the computer's screen switches from the familiar OS X desktop to a black backdrop with four oversized but recognizable icons.

Instead, they launch different, simple-to-use applications covering four basic media types: video files (even ones you buy over iTunes), still images, song files and DVDs, respectively. The idea is that...

...Republicans assert that Kaine's emphasis on his faith provided "cover" on the hot-button issues of the death penalty and abortion. Christopher J. LaCivita, a consultant to the Republican Governors Association and friend of Kilgore's, thundered: "The Democrat Party's new strategy of embracing people who practice faith will be exposed for what it is-a ruse." But Kaine, chatting with TIME as voting wound down, said his experience as a missionary was what made him a public servant-as a civil rights lawyer, later as Richmond Mayor and currently as Virginia Lieutenant Governor.

Last week, Sprint launched its over-the-air music store, the first of its kind operating in the U.S. Using one of Sprint's new Power Vision phones, you type in the name of a song you want, then tap a button to download it to the phone's internal memory. The actual download is fast, generally 20 to 30 seconds (though it could take a few minutes in spotty coverage). Once the song is in your phone, you can play it whenever you like, through the phone's speaker or earbuds that come with the phone...
