...everywhere: on the balloons, the napkins, the paper plates. Even the cake was shaped like MJ's head, with black jheri curls. Some of the best gifts I received were leather jackets - one black, the other red - splattered with shiny, silver buttons and zippers. (No glove.) My mom and dad also gave me every single, on vinyl, that MJ had ever recorded solo. I couldn't wait to go back to my room and bump to "Don't Stop 'Til You Get Enough" from my little record player. Or for the weather in New Orleans to turn cool...
...running the same experiment but hooking the subjects up to brain scans throughout it. This will make it far easier to see just which areas of the brain are activated when viewing the pictures and, by implication, which feelings and motivations are being evoked.

...learn to use. The next generation of services has scrapped that paradigm entirely. Instead, companies like Sunnygram, Presto and Celery are turning e-mails into faxs, phone messages or stamped letters - media senior citizens already understand - so that users can keep in touch on their own terms. "My dad doesn't feel capable of managing e-mail, but I live in front of my computer," says Bellanca. Adds Presto CEO Peter Radsliff: "The adoption of all-electronic means of communication makes it more and more arduous for the technically savvy to revert to analog." That helps explain why the USPS...
