...screen time, down to the very last second. A semi-secret 2001 image revamp put Mickey's logo in trendy places: on celebrities, in a Sex and the City episode - he was printed on a t-shirt and stretched across Sarah Jessica Parker's chest - as well as in high-end boutiques. In 2002, he appeared in the PlayStation2 video game Kingdom Hearts. And in 2006, he became 3-D for the very first time. Now you can see him on Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, an early morning Disney Channel show designed for children ages 2-6. Or you can book...
...quite what it feels like when you glimpse the world your children will grow up in and realize it will treat them better than it treated you. I do not expect anyone who has not experienced it to understand what it feels like to be frowned at in a high-end store or ogled at by tourists in Harvard Yard surprised to see a black person in a Harvard sweater. I do not expect anyone who has not experienced it to understand what it feels like to be called nigger. Obama’s victory cannot mean the same thing...

Structured as a series of seven day-long dips into the community's various subcultures, Thornton's book explores (among other things) the floating jealousies at a high-end auction, the exhausting, freewheeling process of an art school critique session, and the machinations behind the world's most prestigious art competition...
...Karaoke Channel Online (a Web version of the Karaoke Channel on cable) is a nifty service that streams professional-grade karaoke - with scrolling lyrics, instrumental and sing-along modes, and a community you can share your recorded masterpieces with - for $9.95 a month. (Only a fanatic or high-end home-karaoke-bar owner would pay that, of course; do-it-yourselfers can pay $14.95 per day, which is good for a party.) The site is the brainchild of Alexandre Taillefer, a fellow entrepreneur, who, not too long ago, got into the karaoke biz after hosting a sing-along party...
