...started, all you need is a mike (internal or USB-connected) or video camera. MySpace Karaoke ksolo.myspace.com and YouTube are free but pretty thin; it would be hard to charge my neighbors to sing along to some joker doing "Memories" on YouTube. By contrast, the Karaoke Channel Online thekaraokechannel.com streams scrolling lyrics and professional-grade karaoke, in instrumental or sing-along mode, for $14.95 a day or $9.95 a month for a minimum of two months. As far as I can tell, with more than 4,000 songs and close to 100 added a week, it has the biggest music...

Schwartz, a reporter for The Washington Post, highlighted the unique strategy employed by President-elect Barack Obama, praising his poise and discipline for helping him avoid traditional political tactics such as personal attacks.

The cost of oil, which has driven much of the investment in alternative energy in recent years, has halved since the summer.

The Republican headquarters, by contrast, was empty and locked...
...huge p.r. budgets - New Coke, anyone? - endless iterations on an edible theme are the norm in Japan. American beer drinkers partial to Budweiser basically face a binary choice: Bud or Bud Lite, although they might occasionally find such niche-market products as Bud Select or Bud Extra. By contrast, when a Japanese beer drinker goes to buy a can of Asahi at an average convenience store, he has to choose between Super Dry, Premium, Prime Time, Black, Stout, Orion Draft, Northern Style, Clear, Flavorful, Gubi Draft, New Draft 3 and Ginger Draft, among others. And that's just this month...
