...second TV spot Seismic created for Robert Altman's Oscar-nominated Gosford Park begins with a vintage Rolls-Royce zooming across the screen--in the actual movie the car rolls along rather leisurely--and showcases the youngest members of the cast (Clive Owen, Ryan Phillippe and Emily Watson) in whooshing high-tech cuts. "The movie is no longer sacred, because filmmakers have loosened the reins," says Schneiderman. "They know in order to make their next film, they've got to sell this...
...lauded by critics as the best consumer digital camera. Now for about $500 less, the 2500 duplicates in a smaller package most of the 990's features, including the swivel lens that lets you take pictures of yourself while you look at the results on the LCD screen.

Some of the controversy surrounding the PSA (prostate-specific antigen) test will have a familiar ring to anyone who has followed the mammography debate. But there are also some important differences...
BERRYPHONE We remember the BlackBerry when it was a popular beeper-size, mini-keyboard-equipped pager that allowed users to send and receive e-mail wirelessly almost anywhere. Two years ago, it grew a bigger screen for Web browsing and appointment booking. Finally, last week, the BlackBerry PDA 5810 ($499) sprouted a cell phone. Now it's all grown...
