What daughters want is pretty packaging, a funky color--and the feeling that the product was created just for them. The Manhattan-based Tony & Tina hawks a $10 nail polish in a bottle that looks like a rocket. Philosophy, founded by skin-care clinician Cristina Carlino, prefers to look inward for inspiration. Each of its products offers a self-help homily. Soul Owner, for example, encourages the consumer to "review your only true assets. You own your values, your integrity." (Not bad advice, though it comes from an exfoliating foot cream.) San Francisco's BeneFit, a specialty store that began...
...film's artistry borders on the over-done as the melodrama envelops the audience. The wallpaper patterns are reminiscent of '60s acid tripping posters, and the rooms seem too perfectly contrived. While red is normally a color used on camera to draw attention to an actress in a scene or emphasize a particular state of emotion in a drama, the women in All About My Mother are continuously cloaked in red.

The uniformity seems depressing, but this analyst says he likes working at Broadview because it's actually more exciting than most jobs.

For printers this has been the year of the color inkjet. They've nearly caught up with laser printers in terms of quality and speed, yet you can get a low-end inkjet for $50 and one with photo-quality output for less than $400. (But be sure to compare competing models' costs for replacement ink cartridges.) Scanners have been remarkable too. The current crop produces rich images at prices considerably lower...
MORE DOTS For top-quality scans, you'll want 1,200 dpi and 36-bit color depth. Generally, the higher the price, the better the lens--one of the most important components...
