...Vancouver, British Columbia. (The S1 comes full with maps of the U.S. and Canada.) I plugged in the address of the Pink Pearl, a well-known but out-of-the-way dim sum spot. We didn't know how long it would take to get there by foot, or what the best route was, but the S1 sorted it out for us. As we began walking, it guided us towards the harbor, then over onto Hastings St., one of the city's main drags. The screen showed we had a 45-minute walk ahead, so I turned off the slender...
...periodically. The GPS receiver sometimes had a hard time, mostly because of the "canyon effect," satellite signals being blocked by tall buildings. Standing and waiting for a signal can be annoying, but at least, if you go the wrong way, it corrects pretty fast. Besides, when you're on foot, making a U-turn on a busy street isn't very dangerous...
...develop pedestrian uses, new considerations are arising. The route the S1 chose for our dim sum run took us through Hastings and Main St., one of the most notorious intersections in Vancouver for drug use, prostitution and other malfeasance. Perhaps product developers should look into adding a new on-foot routing option - in addition to "fastest" and "shortest," perhaps there should be "safest" or maybe just "most scenic."

ANTHEE CARASSAVA, TIME correspondent I would start off with a stroll through the meandering streets of the ancient city to the foot of the Acropolis to catch a performance at the Herodus Atticus theatre.

I'd then dine at Varoulko downtown for a platter of baby calamari sautéed in basil sauce and a dessert of fruit soup and cinnamon ice cream.[an error occurred while processing this directive] You can burn it off afterward by bopping and bouncing among Athens' chichi socialites at Balthazar in the city...
...parent who enforces bedtimes - we get to be the cool parent who lets his kid watch a show. Now there's a DVD filtering device called Clearplay, which edits out violence, sex, and foul language on the fly. You no longer have to be the meanie who puts his foot down with a stern, "You're too young for that movie." Let them watch whatever they choose, knowing Clearplay's got your back. And when they do get older, no longer does your teenager have to shamefully admit where he's been all night. Thanks to the GPS tracker...
