...your TV set and/or home-theater system then slide your iPod onto it. When you turn on the TV, you see an easy-to-navigate interface that lets you browse through all of the audio tracks on your iPod, be they protected files or plain-old MP3s.

Hu's predecessor Jiang Zemin spent his early years in Shanghai, China's most cosmopolitan city, studied in the Soviet Union and reveled in his trips overseas; he was proud of his ability to recite from memory chunks of Abraham Lincoln's Gettysburg Address. By contrast, Hu studied only in China and spent much of his career in its remote, impoverished western provinces. Jiang "liked to make jokes" with his foreign hosts, says...
