...pair). While the Uniden GMRS 750-2CK ($100) had the second best range of the bunch, it was too big and bulky to carry around easily. The Audiovox GMRS 7001-2CH ($100) and the Midland Radio G-300 ($120 for a Two Pack) were much more compact, but their minimalist designs made it hard to find and use their various features...
...compared the 7-mile units with a 5-mile model from Motorola, the market leader in two-way radios. Motorola doesn't sell a 7-mile radio, but its compact T5950 ($130) got reception that was as good as the Cobra's and beat the others--and the T5950's smaller size made it easier to tote. For a compact model, the T5950 was our top choice, but the slightly larger Cobra's overall design, clearer sound and cool extras, like a built-in digital compass and stopwatch, made it our favorite...
Chomet (who did use computer animation for the film's cars, boats and trains) has a canny design eye to match his narrative wit.

The movie isn't aimed at kids, but they will find plenty to beguile them. And don't worry that the film is French; it has hardly any dialogue. Doesn't need it. The gnarly imagery and the movie's understanding...
Adventures aside, the ultimate question is how Kelly’s cheeseburger subs actually compare to Noch’s. Appearance-wise, they don’t fare so well. Noch’s subs have a compact, professional appearance, with all ingredients tucked neatly into the hoagie roll. Kelly’s subs, on the other hand, are slightly messier—condiments and cheeseburger alike ooze out the sides...
...Virgin Pulse, a series of sleek, low-cost gadgets. The $449 portable TV/DVD player (above) features a 10in. flat screen. An optional car adapter and carrying case let you watch movies on those long road trips. There's also a $50 pair of two-way radios (left) and a compact AM/FM radio with TV tuner for $35. Cordless phones, CD and MP3 players, and a CD clock radio round out the line. Our verdict: we liked the devices' silver color and their thin, clean designs but found the controls on some of the gadgets to be a bit awkward...
