...last week rolled out its own Metro in Porto, Portugal, the 56th edition since launching in Sweden 10 years ago. And 20 Minutes, set up by Norwegian media group Schibsted in 1999, is thumbed in 20 cities across France, Spain and Switzerland, racking up 5 million daily readers. The secret of the giveaways? They're free and easy. For young, urban, time-poor commuters, "It's the right product, at the right place and at the right time," says Sverre Munck, executive vice president of Schibsted and ceo of 20 Min Holding, which controls 20 Minutes in France and Spain...
There's a top-secret 147-page internal document at Microsoft called "The Book of Xenon." Xenon is Microsoft's private code name for the Xbox 360, and "The Book of Xenon" spells out the company's entire strategy for it. Large chunks of "The Book of Xenon" deal with something it calls the D.E.L., which stands for the Digital Entertainment Lifestyle. This is shorthand for the notion that all media--movies, music, games, cameras, phones, TV--are becoming digital media, and that's changing how we relate to them and how they relate to one another. They're merging...

Norton; 148 pages; $20) arrives in bookstores early next week, just a few months after he died at age 87.

His final book combines literary biography and criticism...
...Presented as the results of a secret meeting of Jewish leaders laying out 23 protocols for the supposed Jewish takeover of world governments, The Protocols of the Elders of Zion first appeared in Russia in 1905. Divided into roughly three parts, The Plot begins as a kind graphical literary biography, tracing the life and influences of the real author of Protocols, Mathieu Golovinski. A seedy, low-level aristocrat, Golovinski distinguished himself with the Tsarist secret police as a lawyer with a talent for fabricating evidence against accused enemies of the state. Eventually exiled to France, he was tapped to produce...
...photo-sharing site" is the tag line on flickr.com's homepage. But there's no reason for anyone of any age to be put off: the great appeal of this irreverent, one-year-old start-up is just how easy its technology makes it to share your pictures. The secret ingredient is Flickr's use of keyword tags. These can be attached to your photo files, making online albums as searchable as the Web itself. And with 80% of the site's 8 million photos open to the public (you can set your privacy levels when you join), Flickr lets...
