...enough of lame inflight entertainment? The AV340 video and music player from French firm Archos might just be the answer to mile-high boredom. Its 40-GB hard disk can easily store 30 feature films to watch on its 9.7-cm color screen, and still leave room for a few thousand MP3 tracks. All this in a package that weighs just 0.35 kg. The Archos ($1,000) can record straight from TV or hi-fi, so you don't have to waste time compressing audio and video files on your computer. And when you land, you can hook...

Barely 30 cm high and 60 cm long and weighing just under 11 kg, it operated for three months and in all that time toddled across a stretch of Martian terrain little bigger than a football field. The new rovers are much closer to true space cars. Measuring 1.5 m tall from their wheels to the top of their camera masts, the 2003 models weigh about 180 kg each and should be able to cover up to 915 m in their 90 days of life - including many days they will spend standing...
...built it in 1984, casting it in concrete at a scale of 2 cm to 1 m. "I know every nook and cranny of the (real) place," he says, and it's no idle boast. Dy, 66, was part of a team of artists that drew up complete architectural blueprints of Angkor Wat in 1969 for the Ecole Fran?aise d'Extr?me Orient research organization. Those blueprints are proudly displayed on a wall in his workshop, along with an award from Cambodia's King Norodom Sihanouk in recognition of his work as an artist. In a visitors' book, one tourist rates...
