...biggest problems with home photo printers is that the results have too much of a sketchy, do-it-yourself quality. Now, printing digital pictures at home just got more appealing, thanks to two new compact photo printers, from Olympus and Sony. Both hook up directly to a digital camera, eliminating the fuss of connecting to a PC. They use a printing process called dye sublimation, which heats the ink and vaporizes it into the photo paper. The result: glossy, 4-in.-by-6-in. prints that are virtually indistinguishable from the ones you get from a professional photo lab. Even...
Somewhere buried deep beneath Pennypacker Hall, in the coffins of WHRB’s Record Hospital, sits a compact disc without liner notes; they fell out long ago.

Replacing the aging but best-selling Cavalier, the compact Cobalt offers extras--heated leather seats, an MP3 player and a power sunroof--that should help it compete with the more upscale Honda Civic and Volkswagen Jetta. But the upgrades aren't just aesthetic: relatively large 15-in. tires come with the coupe and the sedan, and a peppier, 170-h.p. engine will be standard on the coupe...
