...Saturday, an independent site called Boy Genius Report leaked a 17-page PowerPoint presentation that purported to show the touchscreen Storm, along with an App Center that mimics Apple's App Store and Google's Android Market. The site followed up on Monday with a Storm user guide that TIME was unable to access - probably because too many other folks were attempting to do the same thing - but which was promptly reposted on CrackBerry. RIM would not confirm that the leaked photos were of the Storm, but by Monday afternoon the images had been published and identified...
...original trilogy--i.e., if you expect it to be good--then yes, it's as disappointing as the summer movie it follows. If you think of it as a kid-oriented spin-off product--well, it still suffers from characters with all the vibrancy and pizazz of a PowerPoint marketing plan. But a successful marketing plan, since the vivid CGI (and lots of Yoda) will draw the younglings...
...feeling burdened by the stresses of your job - or puffed up by your most recent PowerPoint - a peek at the top line of Mohamed ElBaradei's résumé might help restore your equilibrium. As director-general of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), the 66-year-old Egyptian is the world's point man for staving off nuclear annihilation.

I did, however, learn that the main thing Victoria's Secret looks for in a new "supermodel" is "confidence," followed by "the ability to give back to the community." I'm guessing No. 3 is a tie between a huge heart and a working knowledge of constitutional...
...million We Campaign (short for "We Can Solve It") opens a new front in the battle against global warming. Rather than trying to scare viewers with dire predictions of climatic apocalypse or wear them down with climate science - there's nary a polar bear nor a PowerPoint slide to be seen - the We Campaign seeks to mobilize widespread public support for action. If Gore's An Inconvenient Truth was meant to diagnose climate change for a country that at the time was still widely skeptical, the We Campaign is meant to find a cure. "One of the things that...
