...understand not only what poor consumers can afford but also what they want and can use. Motorola's Burnes says the company went through four redesigns to develop a low-cost cell phone with battery life as long as 500 hours (for villagers without regular electricity) and an extra-loud volume for use in noisy markets. The poor need innovative models of financing too. When cement supplier Cemex, based in Monterrey, Mexico, was looking to kick-start sales after Mexico's mid-1990s financial crisis, it founded Patrimonio Hoy, a combination builder's "club" and financing plan that targets homeowners...
...color. Cool is the temperature of the standard Cannes film. When a movie forthrightly engages the emotions - as Marco Tullio Giordana's Once You're Born superbly did in its story of a boy lost at sea with a boatload of illegal immigrants - the critical consensus can be loud and derisive. (Literally: the film was booed.) For the fun and frissons that are supposed to be the movies' birthright you had to go back outside, to the lavish parties picturemakers throw for themselves.

Akon Lonely Senegal-born...
...Sith. To one side of the steps was perched a full orchestra in evening dress. As writer-director George Lucas and many of his stars came into view, the orchestra struck up the first martial notes of John Williams' theme. "Georges Lu-cah!" a French voice fanfared over the loud-speaker system, and the crowd cheered. The spectacle was as majestic and fun as the celebration of the Jedi's triumph over the Death Star in the final scene of the first Star Wars, such a long time...
...correlation between the storming of an unjust prison and a sit-in for fairer financial aid policies: coincidence? I think not. Yale rose up again in April, when graduate students set up a strike for teaching unions. This is like the March on Versailles for bread—a loud demand for better treatment, but, as we saw with the end of the strike in late April, an unsuccessful one. Add two and two together, and it’s the second rise of the Third Estate...
