...Matrix and an angry green giant - all year long, pixel-pushing superheroes have been smashing their way across cinema screens. In Ireland, a quieter kind of crime fighter is pulling in the crowds: Cate Blanchett as Veronica Guerin, the Irish reporter who went head to head with Dublin's drug barons in the mid-'90s and paid for it with her life. Veronica Guerin - the second film about the iconic journalist - follows her as she digs for the source of the city's drug supply. Hardheaded and hungry for a story, Guerin is threatened, shot at and severely beaten before...
...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.

...steady hand can get used to writing with it.

An ample 12 MB of internal memory plus 16 MB on the Memory Stick Duo card--together, enough to store hundreds of snapshots--are included in the $649 retail price...
...ordinary analog film, each sensor on a digital chip saves only one-third of the color data it receives--either red, green or blue, but not all three at once. With the new Foveon X3 technology, however, three sensors are stacked on top of one another, so that each pixel absorbs the full color spectrum. Result: a 3.5-megapixel camera using Foveon technology will produce images as clear as today's 7 MP models. INVENTOR Richard Merrill, Foveon AVAILABILITY December 2002 TO LEARN MORE www.foveon.com...
...SAMSUNG SC-D80 Yes, this digital camcorder is bulky--it won't win any design contests--but it's priced right and fully equipped. It's got 680,000-pixel resolution, 10X zoom lens, image stabilizer and "Nite Pix" for shots in the dark. Want bang for your buck? Shoot in this direction. www.samsungusa.com...
