...nature of the show means more than that. Perhaps Apple is tentatively reaching the conclusion that it doesn't matter how much hoopla gets thrown up around a product: it will rise and fall on its own merits. The G4 cube and the G4 titanium Powerbook were launched with equal mystery and equal fanfare, six months apart. Both looked eminently cool when Jobs pulled back the veil. Yet the cube tanked tremendously, tearing a huge hole in Apple's year 2000 profits, while the Powerbook sold like lemonade during a rolling blackout, driving Apple to one of its best...

When it comes to language--perhaps the most nuanced skill a person can master--the brain does appear to have fertile and less fertile periods. At birth, babies have the potential to learn any language with equal ease, but by six months, they have begun to focus on the one tongue they hear spoken most frequently. Parents can take advantage of this brain plasticity by introducing a second or even third language, but only if they intend to speak them all with equal frequency until the child...
