...easy is it to connect the Xbox 360 to a Wi-Fi network? Out of the box, the Xbox cannot connect wirelessly to a network, but with a $100 Microsoft add-on, it's simple. Yes, $100 extra when you've just spent $300 or $400 on your console, but I have to hand it to Microsoft for making the experience a positive one. Many Wi-Fi devices can't deal with different formats of wireless security (WEP, WPA, etc.), but when I plugged in this accessory, the 360 saw my network and knew what to ask for to make...
...really connect my iPod or other MP3 player to play music? The basic answer is "yes." As long as your iPod is full of songs you ripped from CD or downloaded without permission, you can connect it and instantly pull up a menu of all its songs. You won't see any of the tracks you purchased at the iTunes Music Store. Because of the way the iPod connects, it isn't able to play protected tracks...
What's happening with Alaska's infamous "Bridge to Nowhere"? In a move that seems emblematic of this year's pork-barrel propensities, Congress tucked into the transportation bill a provision that earmarks $223 million for a bridge in Alaska to connect Ketchikan and Gravina Island, where only about 50 people live.

How does he persuade his subjects to look so steadily into his lens? "I find humor a great way to break the ice and connect," he says. "Once you start to talk to people you find they're not that much different." A sense of the common humanity that links different cultures infuses "Face of Asia," an exhibition of his pictures from Afghanistan, Cambodia, India and Tibet, the first show at Asia House's new London...
...cleans, he obnoxiously corrects his son on minor details, and he never pays attention to his introverted daughter, Eliza (Flora Cross)—that is, until she wins the local spelling bee. Saul, a theology professor, insists that his daughter’s spelling powers are intrinsically connected to Jewish mysticism, which, of course, means her powers would be best spent in winning the national spelling bee. As he refocuses the household on his daughter, his wife develops a severe anxiety disorder and his son begins a religious exploration of his own. Each member of the family seems...
