...story, though, is high-concept and high-maintenance. In the Bond-worthy opening action scene, Bolt (voiced by John Travolta) is introduced as a Superdog: faster than Speed Racer, more powerful than Benji, able to hold a dangling car between his teeth, plus his gifts of bent-track laser-vision and the amazing thunder bark - all to help his "human," Penny (Miley Cyrus), escape an army of bad guys. He could be the family dog of the Incredibles. What Bolt doesn't know, yet, is that all this mayhem and all his powers are fake. He's the star...

The kiosk will print out a rental agreement that tells you which car is yours and where it's parked. You simply find your car and the keys will be inside. The test program has been operating in the Orlando airport for about a year; in November it expanded to airports in Los Angeles, San Diego, Miami and West Palm Beach. On Dec. 1, it will...

...Trekker model is better suited for travel, with its key-ring cap and handy carabiner and lanyard. The pens have a narrow grip, so they're not for everyday use if you have hand or wrist issues like I do. But I'd keep one in my car: It can write over water and grease spots, and withstand extreme temperatures (-30 to 250 degrees F). It faithfully delivered after a lonely night in my freezer. Price: $25 (Trekker); $20 (Bullet...
