...panel that takes the place of five speakers, bouncing sound to all corners of a room by manipulating sound waves. You still need a subwoofer, but it's great for tight spaces and people who don't like wires all around. Camera lovers, smile and say cheese to the OLYMPUS M:ROBE MR-500I, due in January. You can think of this as an iPod with a built-in camera: it has a 20-GB hard drive for music and photos, and a 3.7-in. color LCD screen for viewing pictures. It can combine still shots with music and make...
...script follows what is known about Alexander, who left the Ionian peninsula to sweep the fabled Babylon and India into his ambitious embrace. But Stone, who wrote the film with Christopher Kyle and Laeta Kalogridis, sees the old Greek fables as horror stories, Olympus as Hades and the Macedonian royal family--led by one-eyed Philip (Val Kilmer) and his spiteful bride Olympias (Angelina Jolie)--drowning in lust and supernal rancor.

...Formula 1 racing--kind of a NASCAR for the rest of the world--Michael Schumacher is king. He has claimed six world championships, including the past four for Ferrari. In an example of blatant but stylish cross-marketing, Olympus will introduce in July the official camera of Schumacher's racing team, the Ferrari Digital Model 2004 ($699), a 3.2megapixel digital camera with 3X optical zoom. The innards were conceived mainly by Olympus' brain trust. (Its sleek body is less than 1 in. thick, thanks to a periscope-style zoom lens, and though measuring only 3.7 in. across, it still...
