...This roster, for some head-scratching reason, had the same shooting deficiency as the more recent disappointing U.S. squads, which is amazing considering all we heard after Athens about constructing a team with the right NBA players - not necessarily just the best. You can't win while shooting 32% from three-point range, which the U.S. did against Greece. Where was Detroit's Richard Hamilton, who shot 46% from three-point range this year, tops in the NBA? What about Kyle Korver of Philadelphia? He doesn't do anything else, really, but shoot threes, but that's OK. We could...

...newspapers. I don't think, however, that the next Meryl Streep film is likely to gain a lot of traction among the bloggers. It'll still have to be sold the old-fashioned way, with good reviews, good word of mouth and maybe an Oscar campaign. Shoot! Once again technology fails us in an area where movies need all the help they...
...have to distinguish themselves in other ways. In the heyday of digital-camera sales, all they had to do was improve a camera's image resolution, measured in megapixels. But now that the march of the megapixels has advanced to at least five or six on most point-and-shoot cameras - a level above which the human eye can't spot improvement - vendors are scrambling to compete on other features...
