...passengers in the first three months of this year ? nearly as many as the other nine major carriers combined. As any traveler can tell you, getting bumped is a common enough occurrence ? it happens when airlines sell more tickets than seats on the premise that some folks won?t show up ? and airlines are required to compensate the bumpee with upgrades or cash equivalents. But if you absolutely, positively have to be there on time, watching the plane doors shut in your face can be uniquely frustrating ? the sort of thing that gives the big carriers a bad name...
Fifteen news cameras were there in Washington when Hillary Clinton officially became an about-to-run as U.S. senator from New York; Hillary didn't feel the need to show up. It's good to be the First Lady, isn't it? But now that she's formed an exploratory committee (and thus satisfied the folks at the Federal Election Commission), the only candidate in history with more family-name recognition than George W.

Daewoo Telecom's Future Power, for example, unveiled an all-in-one Windows PC called the E-Power that comes in five flavors, er, colors--amethyst, ruby, topaz, emerald and sapphire. Bad news for Steve Jobs: E-Power will ship at about two-thirds the price of the iMac...
...CANDY Want to swap that tired old computer monitor for a pair of virtual goggles? Now you can afford to. This binocular headset from Colorado MicroDisplay and Daeyang E&C was one of the stars of the show. It offers SVGA-quality graphics and feels about as heavy as a pair of regular glasses. The price tag is pretty light too, a relatively meager $800. You won't be able to see your boss walk in, but he won't be able to see you playing games, either. LOOK, MA! NO WIRES Still trying to hook your laptop to your...
