...because of the invisible software that joins them together-that's based on a Bluetooth standard that guarantees that Motorola headsets and non-Motorola headsets will behave similarly when connected to a Motorola phone. No, I was afraid that I wouldn't be able to use the same plug in my car to charge both the phone and the headset (at different times, of course). Having to buy a separate Plantronics charger cable for my car might have spoiled the deal. Plantronics engineers anticipated this, and included adapters that snap on to the headset's charging cradle, and fit four...
...Another very cool snap-on accessory is the AAA battery charger. Although you can already plug the headset into a wall socket or, as I just mentioned, one of four existing car chargers (sold separately), you can also keep a battery stashed for an emergency juice-up. Just stick the battery in a lipstick-sized case, and snap it to the charging cradle where the tiny headset rests. You can't charge while talking in either scenario, but that would get messy anyway and besides, it only takes three hours to fully charge it up for five hours of talk...
...there's a solution to these problems, and it's simple. Actually, it's called Real Simple Syndication, or RSS. You start by downloading free software called a newsreader. For PC users, we recommend Bloglines (bloglines.com), NewsGator (newsgator.com) or You (yousoftware.com), which plug into Microsoft Outlook. If you're using Mac OS X, try NetNewsWire Lite (ranchero.com/netnewswire). Each of these has a pay version, generally about $30, with more features, but beginners won't need them...
...life. I hope they make some big breakthroughs soon. If you could only reconcile the mental with the physical, then throw in the emotional! These growth hormones, where can I get a bunch of them? Is there some way that, with electricity, you could stimulate your own growth hormones? Plug yourself in for five minutes, there'd be a little jolt, but you'd get used to it. It wouldn't be bad at all; in fact, you'd get to enjoy it, probably. Then away you'd go, and youth wouldn't be wasted on the young anymore...
...dangerously overloaded socket, enlivening the edge between human voice and machine. "I think that's why we love old analog synthesizers - like the Mellotron, which tries to imitate a human sound, an acoustic sound that's a bit wrong somehow," says Goldfrapp. They even break their own rule and plug in a guitar for the first time on the Marc Bolan glam-rock stomp of Ooh La La and Satin Chic. Through all three records, though, it is Goldfrapp's voice that is most beguiling. At moments it recalls the whispered seduction of Marlene Dietrich, then eases up the range...
