...first digital assistants using the software started shipping last spring. I should have. CE is perfect for lazy guys like me who are willing to trade off full functionality for a specialized, ultralight tool. But be warned that CE will run only its own applications, and they're "lite" versions. Microsoft is so worried that consumers will be confused--and buy a CE machine expecting it to run full Windows programs--that it will launch an "awareness" ad campaign next month. Pocket Word, for instance, is a dumbed-down Word that's little more than a text editor. It doesn...
Which is too bad because these two musical groups really do have the potential to affect listeners in a deeply visceral way. Morissette's enjoyable version of pop-lite is underrated. Her lyrics are accessible and addictive, providing an outlet for anger, hope and spirituality all set to a recipe melody. Denying the quality of at least her radio singles would be absurd.

Buoyed by an ebullient soundtrack which barrels through the film, Varsity Blues has a lush palette dominated by the title hue.

Everybody's happy, fame stacks on fame, cash registers go manic, and my heart is racing-take me to this high-speed, brite-lite, kitschball arena of window dressing...
...tries to update Houston's soul-lite formula. Wyclef Jean co-wrote the superb reggae-ish title song, and Lauryn Hill produced the fabulously funky remake of Stevie Wonder's I Was Made to Love Her. The problem is with the Old Guard: producer David Foster's work is dull, and Dianne Warren and Babyface, who both wrote tracks, have better work on their respective resumes. Still, you've got to give Houston credit for stretching herself on at least part of this disc; the first song, It's Not Right but It's Okay, is one of her best...
