Here's how Acid works: you import an MP3, then "paint" it onto a layer of your master track. Can't stand that slow intro? Use the eraser tool. Want to sample Sarah Vaughan singing a single line from Summertime? Cut and paste it as many times as you like. When you paint the second tune over the first, click on it to change the pitch, tempo and volume until they match. It's that simple...
...been able to get products like this wireless wonder out the door a little sooner. Designed primarily for communicating--via the Web, e-mail and a built-in cell phone--this thin, trim handheld is a well-focused success. You won't find any multimedia extras, not even an MP3 player, but you will get an unheard-of 10 hours of talk time, a sturdy metal stylus and a crisp 320x320-pixel display.

...formed a scrap-metal business of their own, then started a side business importing speakers and amplifiers, and later DVD players, from China. The first units they imported and sold through Circuit City differed from others sold in the U.S. at the time in that they could play MP3 files. The players also sported a quirk Ji and Hsu say they were unaware of: a manufacturing error allowed users to copy DVDs to videotape and override coding that prevents DVDs of films from being viewed in countries where they have not been released...
