Consider the case of Tor Thorsen, movie reviewer and employee No. 5 at Reel.com formerly one of the Web's largest DVD and video stores. Six months ago, Thorsen was a true believer. Three years' worth of 60-hr. weeks seemed about to pay off. He held 32,000 shares of Reel.com which was planning to go public. And he was whooping it up at the Sundance Film Festival. A-list stars like Kevin Spacey, Nick Nolte and Emily Watson granted interviews. "For the first time, we were really part of the film scene," recalls Thorsen. "People knew our name...
...that children routinely overestimate how much they exercise. Describing their activities the previous day, 45 participants ages 11 to 13 reported an hour of vigorous exercise (like running). But motion recorders strapped to their hips revealed the truth: 2 min. The rest of the day--an average of 10 hr.--was sedentary: TV, video games, sleeping...

With so many willing, casual exhibitionists among us, it's less surprising that VTV happened than that it didn't happen sooner...
...warm, fuzzy face on VTV, Big Brother is not it. (In fact, Romer comes off rather like Christof, the controlling, vaguely European creator played by Ed Harris in The Truman Show.) The participants, to be chosen this week, will have no privacy and no respite; a 24-hr. website will stream video from selected cameras in the house. "When you walk through a city, you look through windows and wonder who is living there," says Romer. "That curiosity is completely satisfied by these shows." The residents will, barring emergencies, have no outside contact, except with the producers. They will harvest...
