Aspiring filmmakers, are you feeling overlooked, underappreciated, unaccountably undiscovered? Not to worry; Leo feels your pain. Last week LEONARDO DICAPRIO, whose movie-star status has helped him become wildly rich and fabulously hedonistic, announced he is giving back to the industry by inaugurating the First Annual Leonardo DiCaprio International Online Short Film Festival (official nickname: LeoFest). Moviemakers can submit works no longer than 15 minutes to be judged in four categories by a panel of experts; the best films will be loaded onto the Internet www.leofest.com beginning in December.

Do the same to a mammoth-cicle and 23,000 years of data may end up forever frozen in order to appease the desires of the masses...
...vision of the computer as an empowering cultural force that can help heal a rift between art and technology that's as old as art and technology themselves. For his '60s-era peers, high tech meant the cold, gray establishment that they were revolting against. Jobs knew better. "Leonardo da Vinci was a great artist and a great scientist," he says. "Michelangelo knew how to cut stone at the quarry. Edwin Land at Polaroid once said, 'I want Polaroid to stand at the intersection of art and science,' and I've never forgotten that...
