...Michelangelo's David and the Venus de Milo. Corporate Japan's balance sheet has never been stronger, led by Toyota, which just reported a record $3.5 billion profit for the last three months of 2006. At the end of March, Japan's capital will receive a new crown jewel: the 54-story Tokyo Midtown complex in Roppongi, which will feature another new art museum inside the city's tallest skyscraper, topped by a new Ritz-Carlton hotel. You can reserve the top suite for a mere $17,300 a night...
...desired effect. After a waiting period of about six to eight weeks, the diamond is complete and can be cut to the consumer’s desired specifications. Algordanza offers the more traditional shapes, such as square-cut or pear-shaped, adding to the believability of the resulting jewel.

But over the past few years, as Southeast Asia's moderate forms of Islam have struggled to hold sway against the challenge of a more conservative, Middle...
...Vista looks pretty. The edges of the windows are now transparent, like little glass microscope slides. Vista - blatantly following the trend set by Apple - represents data as translucent and jewel-like and faintly glowing. Subtle shadows, gleams and animations enhance the illusion. It's just cosmetic stuff, but given how much time one spends there, it's nice when one's desktop doesn't feel like a soul-leaching cubicle.
