...1920s Eurasian house that once stood on Penang's York Road is the location of the resort's reception and restaurant. You can also book yoga and culinary classes here (McMurtrie is a great cook and her desserts are legendary).

...grant him the glasses, there's still one problem. For digital 3-D to work, the movie theater must first convert from analog to digital--that is, from reels of film to data feeds. Theaters have been slow to do it, citing the expense and security. Disney chairman Dick Cook is credited with breaking the initial logjam with Chicken Little in 2005. About 75 theaters converted to digital to show the film, and a surprising thing happened: 3-D theaters reported three to four times the box-office gross as those that showed the 2-D version...
