...Billing itself as the world's first "handheld personal entertainment center," the AV320 is a camera, MP4 video player and MP3 player rolled into one. Watch up to 40 hours of movies, view up to 200,000 photos, or enjoy 1,000 hours of music. Connect it to your PC and it acts as an extra hard disk for storing any kind of data...
...surely as a bullet rips through a victim's flesh ... it shatters the image of the man who pulls the trigger." Not bad, right? It could pass for Raymond Chandler, but that's actually a line from Max Payne 2: The Fall of Max Payne (for PC, Xbox and PlayStation 2; $49.99), a literate, atmospheric video game about a good cop with very bad luck who gets tangled up with a bloody underworld gang war and a really good-looking lady assassin.

For the Yacobians of Needham, Mass., this means more fat cables running up from the home office in the basement and a bunch of new network devices around an already cluttered desk. But it also means more home...
...chipmaker would be hard-pressed to find a better-qualified candidate. Otellini has been with Intel since 1974 and once served as technical assistant to the legendary Andy Grove, Barrett's predecessor. Last year, as Intel faced cutthroat competition from rival Advanced Micro Devices in a declining PC market, Otellini sat down with his engineering team, which wanted to make a new microprocessor for laptops. His big idea: since laptop owners add wi-fi cards to their machines so that they can surf the Internet wirelessly at any hot spot, why not build wireless connectivity into the chip itself...
