Harvard buildings are already smoke-free, and on Tuesday the Massachusetts Department of Public Health announced that Massachusetts has 150,000 fewer smokers than it did six years ago. Even the rate of teens who are starting to smoke is down slightly. These results, as well as extensive lobbying pressure, have convinced Governor A.

...surely we can "adopt" a virtual baby or two. After naming your bundle of software joy, you can pop it into the changing room for a bath and dress it in impossibly cute bunny suits that come in every flavor from powder blue to tie-dye. Next, try your luck in the kitchen as you prop your baby up in a high chair and watch it hurl food on the floor. (Ingrate!) After the feeding fiascos, head to the backyard to water the flowers and play on the purple dinosaur slide. With Babyz's built-in voice-recognition feature...
