...about "Cause and Effect." The fetching but elusive Ensign Ro Laren is in it. Generous amounts of drive plasma are vented from the starboard warp nacelle - always good. The writers actually give Dr. Crusher something useful to do for a change, and Kelsey Grammer makes an awesome, beyond-random cameo as the captain of the other ship. Plus, the whole conceit is brilliant. It's like one of Philip K. Dick's epistemological passion plays: we watch the same scenes four times, almost word for word, and they mean something slightly different each time. (Watch TIME's video...
...listen to the pair's fifth album, Welcome to Mali, out March 24. Following up on their 2005 breakthrough, Dimanche à Bamako, which was produced by France-raised Spaniard Manu Chao and topped critics' lists worldwide, Amadou and Mariam recruited another international rock star, Brit Damon Albarn, for a cameo. What Albarn brings is an opener, "Sabali," so light and giddy that no translation is required to get that Mariam is whisper-singing about love.

What Dustfingers wants from Mo is to be read back into the book, where his wife (played by Bettany's wife Jennifer Connelly in a Hitchcock-sized cameo) is waiting for him. What Capricorn wants from Mo is wide-ranging, yet unclear, just like the rest of the movie. Capricorn has done well for himself in the nonfiction world, acquiring an Italian castle and an army of minions. But he'd also like some treasure, courtesy of Mo reading aloud from Arabian Nights, or maybe a supervillain pal to help...
...statement, Apple's board said, "If there ever comes a day when Steve wants to retire or for other reasons cannot continue to fulfill his duties as Apple's chief executive, you will know it." In the end, of course, until Jobs actually does appear somewhere looking healthy - a cameo appearance at Macworld would be awesome - people will fret. As they should: the world will be a diminished place when Jobs steps down from Apple for good...
