...However, that in just six months Los Campesinos! have managed to move on completely from their twee background, refine their song writing, and discover a charismatic front man is hugely impressive. Here’s hoping they don’t lose faith and start making albums as lightweight as “The Green Album.”—Reviewer Chris R. Kingston can be reached at kingston@fas.harvard.edu...
Sigg Traveler The sales clerk at Whole Earth, an Austin, Tex., based outdoors store, told me Sigg is considered the "hippest" of all water bottles, favored by such celebrities and eco-stars as the Dave Matthews Band.

Over the past decade, that product diversity has helped Pepsi...
Goldman Sachs analyst Susan Friar recently called Microsoft a "laggard" in moving to browser-based software. But, in reality, it's not even a player. Although Microsoft announced on Oct. 27 that it will roll out "lightweight" Web versions of Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OneNote as part of its next release of Office, that release isn't expected until 2010. Meanwhile, Zoho, which is based in Pleasanton, Calif. and has 500 employees, has been offering its free, Web-based word processor, Zoho Writer, since 2005.
