...some friends in common and I was invited out to the set. I watched their manner of working, which I was inspired by and found quite similar to my own style of filmmaking. I love the collaborative process of making movies, which is undermined when directors take all the credit for a film. To me the true enjoyment of it is working with great people. I started making movies in film school, and you work with people who are hungry and have an appetite for education, so everyone looks to everyone else for advice and challenge each other and counsel...

Never mind soaring oil prices and the credit crunch. The champagne business has been effervescent lately, and the bar for high-end bubbly just got higher. After more than a decade of secrecy, Champagne Krug has uncorked an extraordinary new sparkler, the 1995 Krug Clos d'Ambonnay. Only 3,000 bottles were produced; retailing from between $3,000 and $7,000 per bottle, it is the most expensive champagne in the world. And I recently became one of the very few who will ever taste...

The gray film, a piece of plastic-coated acoustic ceramic one-ten-thousandth of an inch thick, is for Authorizer's touch pad, to be embedded in a cell phone.

Eventually, he believes, pocket biometric devices will replace credit and ATM cards and will even dispense with notaries public and those time-consuming face-to-face real-estate closings. Personal and biometric data, says Scott, would be transmitted via cell phone to a cybervault maintained by a financial-service company. If its computer decided everything was in order, the transaction would go through. Certainly the privacy issue will rear its head again, but, as has happened with Internet transactions, if consumers are confident in the system and it offers convenience, those fears won't be fatal to growth...

...cautionary tale for today's Premiership highflyers is the fate of Leeds United, once among them. The northern English powerhouse overstretched its credit lines in order to sign players that would keep it in contention for English and European honors, and then disaster struck as a run of disastrous form saw the club miss out on Champion's League qualification. The resulting loss of projected revenues forced an emergency sell-off of star players, but that failed to avert a financial collapse, and the once mighty Leeds United now languishes in England's third-tier league. Just as wealth...
