...front. But the war we are seeing is bowdlerized, PG-rated. There are fancy explosions galore, shown from a great distance; there are retired generals wandering through giant maps with pointers and Telestrators; there are gagging doses of Oprah-like human-interest drama, the (slightly) wounded saying "Hi, Mom" and tearful families waiting for word. There are photographs of rubble and of bloodstains that could easily be mistaken for spilled wine.

...When Mom wants her Celine Dion, Dad wants Placido and Johnny demands Ja Rule, it used to take three stereos to satisfy all. Now comes the Yamaha MusicCast, a wireless, digital home music system, out in June. MusicCast is based on the same Wi-Fi technology that powers many PC networks, using a server, CD player/recorder and hard drive to store hundreds of hours of music. Once downloaded from your CDs, music is sent to as many as seven small receivers, or clients. Five can be wireless, and each can power a pair of wired speakers. MusicCast can simultaneously transmit...
