...would like to say we have passed the saturation point on procedurals. But I wouldn't bet my pocket change on it. America is addicted to Amber Alerts and Laci Peterson--type cases, and every cable marathon of lost-child and missing-white-woman coverage is free advertising for Close to Home. This TV season has been notable for ever more gruesome cop shows (Wanted, Killer Instinct) with sensationalistic stories about brutalized women and children. Close to Home, whose early episodes involve a kidnapped young woman and doe-eyed kids on the witness stand, is a softer, more accessible...
Bragging rights go to the 6700 for being the first Pocket PC phone in the country to run the Windows Mobile 5.0 platform. Most of it looks just like the older Pocket PC environment, although there are some updates, including Outlook Mobile--which makes it easy to manage a Hotmail account--and PowerPoint Mobile, for handling those presentations that used to be too big to fit in your...

He attended night-school photography classes for more than four years and covered his office with his framed pictures but never considered publishing his work for fear of snarky criticism...
...pretty intolerable. It’s even worse when you have to watch people you once respected grovel at the feet of first-year analysts at these companies, salivating like rabid dogs and pouncing at the first sliver of a business card emerging from their target’s pocket. Collecting that business card is all important because it means you can then e-mail that person and tell them how much you enjoyed meeting them, which means they might tell someone to remember you at an interview, which means…well, some marginal advantage in the application process...
