...Adams and Blunt are very believable sisters, not just because of their similar statures and wide blue eyes, but also because of the rhythm of their give and take, often hurtful, always knowing. Blunt (The Devil Wears Prada) makes Norah's very inaction riveting, while Adams has the unusual gift of being able to convey sweet conviction without ever straying into cloying territory. She'd be an ideal companion to share a life raft with. (Who else could have made Enchanted so enchanting?) It will be interesting to see Adams someday put aside some of that sunshine for a darker...

...down briefly, then came back up with news of the new, new thing: "The first music player that talks to you." Uncharacteristically, Apple's p.r. folks, normally a reticent bunch, carried out a coordinated media blitz at dawn, offering up Apple execs to reporters for briefings. The scenario was similar to last month's refresh of the company's desktop Macs, which were also announced without the usual fanfare. (See the top 10 moments in Apple history...

...that President Barack Obama was entertaining the same idea, to reverse what he described as a war in Afghanistan that the U.S. was losing, was greeted with some raised eyebrows in the region.

...Sorry,' I was told, 'but there are no Rohingya here.' I was mystified. From everything that I had heard about this persecuted Muslim minority, the Rohingya come from western Burma's isolated Arakan State. Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya, who speak a dialect similar to that of Bengalis from neighboring Bangladesh, have fled the brutality of Burma's military regime by escaping their Buddhist-majority homeland for lives as illegal immigrants. The ruling junta has denied the Rohingya some of the most basic human rights - no citizenship, no freedom of movement, no marriage without permission. In January, their plight made...
