Eager to get a feel for what these new machines can do, I took a Tablet PC--made by Acer and running Journal--out for a test-drive. The hardware is pretty slick. It starts off looking like a laptop, but then you unhook part of the screen, swing it around 180[degrees] and push it down. Press a button to go from landscape to portrait view, and presto! Instant Tablet. The whole thing is about the size of a thick legal pad, weighs under 3 lbs. and sits comfortably on your thigh. It doesn...
...Tremont St., where WERS’ offices and production rooms take up two floors. The reception area, with its polka-dot carpet and mod design, feels like a design or architectural firm. It is obvious that much time and money were spent making the place look as slick as the station sounds. But the postal service bins of records and CDs let you know that this is a place of music.

Suddenly the place is full of smoke, foot stamping music and competing voices in various states of unpredictability, love proclamations and self-declamation. Flipping...
This lipstick-slick spy thriller is the dramatic equivalent of a bumblebee--a preposterous bit of engineering that by every law of nature should never get off the ground, yet it flies magnificently. Creator J.J. Abrams (Felicity) had a brainstorm: What if Felicity's college-girl heroine, or someone like her, were recruited by the CIA to live a globe-hopping, karate-chopping double life? The result is an improbable, heart-pounding and-tugging mix of fantastical '60s spy chic and emotionally realistic drama that is less reminiscent of today's troubles than you might think.
