...annual tradition - and the glitziest Washington gets - this year's Honors marks the first presided over by the Obamas as the First Couple. Among the 300 guests in attendance were Mikhail Baryshnikov, Matthew Broderick, Harry Connick, Jr., Jane Krakowski, Phillip Seymour Hoffman, Barbara Walters, Nora Ephron, Ed Norton and a number of Congressmen and cabinet members. "I think that this was a beautiful night," said Senator Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota...

...Nielsen Norman Group. Don't let the bland title fool you: what Nielsen and Pernice have done is track the eye movements of hundreds of people as they navigate websites, looking up advice on how to deal with heartburn, shopping for baby presents, picking cell-phone features, learning about Mikhail Baryshnikov. By bouncing infrared beams off a person's retinas and recording head movements with a camera, the researchers were able to deduce what sort of ads garner attention in real time - a methodology that runs laps around later asking people to recall what they saw.
