...angle of the screen; it connects to the computer, an improbably small hemisphere at 10.4 in. in diameter--somewhat bigger than a halved cantaloupe. The machine bears an uncanny resemblance to Luxo Jr.--the fun-loving, computer-animated swing-arm lamp that starred in a short film by Pixar, the fabled computer-animation studio that Jobs runs. (Pixar creative chief John Lasseter has also made the first new iMac ad.) "It looks a little cheeky," says Ive. It looks alive...
...swell year for computer-generated cartoons. Shrek and Monsters, Inc. each had heart, spot-on gags and $200 million-plus domestic grosses. But if my desert island had a giant movie theater (or a DVD player), I'd choose the latest miracle from director Pete Docter and the Pixar crowd.

And of course, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, which opens Friday, is about an 11-year-old who discovers his magical heritage and ships off to a school...
Monsters, Inc., the latest enchantment from the Pixar computer animators (the Toy Story films, A Bug's Life), is the story of Sulley, his pear-shaped, Cyclopsian trainer Mike (Billy Crystal) and a little girl--Sulley calls her Boo, she calls him Kitty--who threatens to wreck their world by infecting it with, yick!, humanity. It makes for a lovely lesson in the perils of surrogate parenting...
