...power, Family was not just close to home - it was home. Then - in the wake of the late '80s Writers Guild of America strike that pushed desperate networks to learn to produce the cheap 'n easy reality fare - came 1992's The Real World. Like almost all of its emulators, from The Osbournes to the Paris Hilton-Nicole Richie vehicle The Simple Life to The Biggest Loser: Couples, The Real World explored what happened when people "stopped being polite ... and started getting real" ... but not too real. Slickly created and cast by pros, TRW placed seven 18-to-25-year...

Goldman Sachs in a note to investors this week said that Asian stocks are "getting interestingly cheap" but analysts "certainly do not pretend to have any real clarity on the near-term market outlook." The investment bank said "for now, most investors in Asia will continue to focus more on cutting risk and hedging positions rather than putting on substantial new risk." The wild ride in Asian markets isn't over...
...aspect of taking a picture can also be isolated and tweaked, satisfying even the pro. Indeed, Kupcake was so blown away, he might buy one himself. "I could shoot professionally with this frickin' camera," he said, looking at me sadly. With digital cameras improving so fast and getting so cheap, so could...
