...steered? our racecar around ?Indy Speedway.? It was great fun, and I realized that many of the venerables - a go-kart on a track, a float through a wonderland such as ?It?s a Small World? - are just as magic to a three-year-old as whatever the latest high-tech marvel is. Jack preferred the cars to the super-colorful and hyper-sensory ?Buzz Lightyear?s Space Ranger Spin,? which is essentially an arcade game with wheels. I was pained by a reflection while in Tomorrowland: ?Space Mountain,? the great indoor roller coaster, is now a venerable. I went...
...anti-war basket, not to be endorsed by the establishment too early, not to squander funds. But we should remember that these are the same analysts who just a few months ago anointed Dean the Democratic nominee, lauding his fiery rhetoric, his outsider status and his groundbreaking efforts at high-tech political mobilization.

Using nothing more than a high-tech pair of gloves and a portable, wireless receiver, it lets kids play virtual guitar, keyboards or drums at less-than-earsplitting volume. Each bend of the finger produces a different note; you switch instruments with the push of a button. It's a great idea, but the execution needs...
Marshall, who was assigned to the College of Charleston voting place, was “expecting some high-tech voter thing,” but was surprised to find a relatively simple operation. This veteran Deaniac—who worked briefly for the campaign in New Hampshire— had been instructed to report a vote tally from the polling place every two hours...
