Wal-Mart's sales of high-margin items like flat-screen TVs can make up for losses on low-margin toys. It's a classic loss-leader attack. Wal-Mart figures that supercheap toys will lure customers to the store, where they might buy pricier items.

Similarly, it becomes clear that Maltzan’s museums are not places that are ideally suited to housing art exhibits—they emphasize horizontal rather than vertical planes and their curved walls present a curator’s nightmare. Rather, Maltzan creates social spaces or civic arcades, suggesting...
Less than five inches long and weighing under a half-pound, the gadget features a full (though understandably tiny) QWERTY keyboard, full-color screen, camera with photo-mail capability and an Internet browser. Like PDAs, it is navigated by a stylus. It looks like a phone, but acts almost like a laptop...
