...consumer appetite for Google offerings like YouTube, particularly as the company has made a cautious foray into the movie-rental business. Services like Google Voice stand to benefit as well, as better speeds could let Google expand the product into a full-fledged VoIP telephone service. But ultimately this might be best read as a bid toward the future. "We want to see what developers and users can do with ultra-high speeds, whether it's creating new bandwidth-intensive 'killer apps' and services, or other uses we can't yet imagine," Google's announcement read. Whatever those unknown uses...
There's no word yet on a Percy sequel, or who might direct it. But kids' movies have been among the most reliable moneymakers the past few months. Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel has earned $214 million and The Princess and the Frog more than $100 million, while the Dwayne Johnson tyke comedy Tooth Fairy, in its fourth week, is the highest-ranking holdover except for Avatar.

But there are reasons to believe the 52-year-old might succeed in the Delta. His family is from the southern Ijaw tribe - the first time the rebels have been able to talk to one of their own in the presidency. And he knows his homeland. In 2007, Edwin Clark, a longtime mentor and powerful backer to Jonathan, took the then newly elected vice president to the wild and dangerous creeks...
