...those who aren't so trusting, it will be a long, sleepless road to the courtroom. Microsoft is not inclined to give another inch on the deal. Iowa attorney general Tom Miller, leader of the rump, is girding for battle, even as his ranks are decimated. "Before it was Goliath vs. Goliath," he says. "Now it's David vs. Goliath. We don't mind being David." There will be no snoring in his office for some time to come...
...spins recasts the past in a way that makes Greg's death inevitable because, of course, it was so absurd.

My friends elbowed me aside and booted up NFL Fever...
Older (age 15 and up), more hard-core gamers will want that Xbox. The machine is Microsoft's beachhead in the console wars, and I predict it will be a big success, even though it costs 50% more. It's a gorgeous piece of equipment that includes an internal hard drive (so it can respond at blink-of-the-eye speeds to your every command).

I was particularly enamored of a surfing simulator, Transworld Surf...
