Bassist, singer, sometime hip-hopper Me'Shell NdegeOcello created a wake-up call in her first album, Plantation Lullabies, brimming with funk and flavor and attitude. Her new CD, Bitter, is more of a good-night kiss, slow, atmospheric and a bit weepy. Bitter, which features narcoleptic production by Craig Street, has carefully structured songs and cautious vocals, but it lacks NdegeOcello's edginess and verve. The songs are about breakups and betrayal, but the emotion is buried. This album feels like that uncomfortable pause in an argument when there's nothing left to say or throw...
...tried another flavor of the operating system, Open Linux 2.2, sold by Caldera Systems ($69). It comes with an application called Partition Magic, which is supposed to make it easier to run both Linux and Windows on the same hard drive. I was up and running in half an hour--but when I rebooted my system, I was unable to launch Linux, apparently because my hard drive is too big. (Don't ask.

Perhaps the immense pool of film talent that has lurked just beyond our local multiplex movie theaters has a better shot at the big screen now that it's armed with the resources to create a blockbuster of a different flavor. The savvy directors of The Blair Witch Project are pioneers in what is destined to be a new era in film. ADRIEN GLOVER, CO-FOUNDER Undergroundfilm.com New York City...
...Mystery Men is that it is what it's about. Expected to underachieve in a season of teen-boy farces, it triumphs by being its smart, shambling self, though it takes a while to get there. In the opening scene, director Kinka Usher tries to get a Tim Burton flavor of dark comic hipness and blows it; he is flailing even as Mr. Furious does at first. Usher feels his way to the right tempo and tone, and when he finds it he doesn...
...boring, and it doesn't generate enough excitement, let alone commission. These days brokers pitch us the next Cisco nearly every session. The IPO market, as hot as I have ever seen it, is pumped full of next Ciscos, as company after company goes public with a Cisco flavor. Some of these new issues seem to jump solely because they list Cisco as a competitor in the prospectus! Brocade, which makes fiber-channel switches--something that has the look and feel of Cisco--jumped from 19 to 116 in five weeks after coming public on the back of this buzz...
