...Swanson's tale to this year's ledger of fakery and its fallout. RadioShack CEO David Edmondson resigned over a tarted-up résumé. Harvard sophomore Kaavya Viswanathan has been roasted for her cribbed chick-lit novel. But Raytheon is a major government contractor that sells missiles, not stereos, and Swanson is a big boss, not a teenage undergrad. Still, he insists it all began with an innocent mix-up. Swanson asked staff members to compile a presentation from materials he kept in a file. It was such a hit that he and his staff collected 33 "rules...
...those 20-year-old falsehoods on cream-colored, 32-lb. premium paper have poleaxed so many high-profile executives that you wonder who in the business world hasn't got the message. A résumé listing two fictitious degrees led to the resignation of David Edmondson, CEO of RadioShack, in February.

(In case you?re scratching your head, it?s the Y-shaped wire with the headphone jack on one end and the red and white stereo jacks on the other.) But Digital Lifestyle Outfitters has introduced two successive docks that make me understand the benefits.

...sharpest resolution possible. I was happy that it included wires to connect to my high-definition television. It also has a slot for the optical wire that transmits surround sound audio to a full-fledged Dolby Digital receiver, though you need to buy the optical wire itself at RadioShack or some other electronics shop...
...term "home theater in a box" has largely been a misnomer. What usually comes in that box is everything but the TV, a very expensive, very necessary piece of the theater puzzle. RadioShack just introduced a product (which comes in a single, easy to carry box) that truly has everything you need to bring the cinema home. It's a DLP projector with built-in DVD player and stereo speakers, plus a subwoofer. Videophiles might desire a better, more complicated rig, but I was impressed with the simplicity of the set up and the quality of the movie-watching experience...
