...very static performance, “Richard II” features little physical action besides two very brief sword fights and the comically repetitive throwing down of gauntlets to challenge enemies. Generally the actors stand in one place and deliver their lines, moving only occasionally to engage the other characters. The stage is similarly uneventful. The intimate Horner Room is barely altered; a throne and the room’s balcony are the totality of the set.

Google Wave rips up that paradigm and embraces the power of the networked, collaborative, postpaper world. Waves aren't static; they're active and malleable. When you send out a wave, you create a virtual object shared by you and the person or people you send it to.

A few seconds of warbling static and electronic beeps lead into a chorus of cellos, each emitting a unique, somber strain. Abruptly, the strings are silenced, giving way to a pounding fuzz-bass line and Hart’s abstract yet compelling musings: “Soon you’ll know that we?...
...school side-part - for no part. He also widened his stride, which his staff said would make him appear younger, according to local daily Kobe Shimbun. Other politicians have become more technologically savvy with QR codes on leaflets, so that younger voters can access their candidates' homepages - however static they might be - by mobile phone...
