...teenage kids Kelly and Jack--except that the noisy ones are in the manse next door, blaring The Girl from Ipanema, and the Osbournes don't like it one bit. But this is not the best part of the episode. The family retaliates by blasting death metal on the stereo (while Ozzy snores away, his slumber safeguarded by decades of standing in front of deafening amp stacks) and throwing a ham over the hedges. But this is not the best part of the episode either. No, the best part is when a bleary-eyed Sharon and Jack reminisce about their...
Hackler believes some consumers need not only easier installation but also a better reason to network than just sharing Net access--something as simple as connecting speakers in the bedroom to the stereo downstairs. That kind of connectivity, experts agree, is the future of the industry. Imagine that instead of routers and hubs near the computers in the den, you had a souped-up TV set-top box equipped with its own broadband Internet connection and networking capabilities--and that this "gateway" connected not just the family PCs and printers but also the stereo, dvd player and Xbox video console...
...Pontiac GTOs. Higher-tensile steels enable manufacturers to make frames that vibrate less and are stiffer and lighter (the bane of convertibles past was lumbering weight and rattle).

And upscale roadsters like the Mercedes SL500 feature pop-up roll bars that can deploy in a third of a second. (Such bars, however, won't necessarily save you in a rollover. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration doesn't test convertibles for rollover safety, but a spokesman cautions that...
According to police sources, three men entered the station flashing military passes and made their way to Room 220. They quickly overpowered the only Special Branch detective working there. He was tied up and hooded, and given a personal stereo to listen to while the three spent 20 minutes rifling through files. Then they checked the bound detective's circulation, packed up some files and disappeared. When news of the burglary filtered out, tremors went through Special Branch's network of informers and operatives. Slipups like this can mean a bullet in the head or a bomb reaching its target...
LOUD PLEASER Looking for a better way to listen to all the music stored on your PC? Check out the DAL 150 EzLink from Harman Kardon, which at $149 may be the cheapest solution yet. The Palm Pilot-size device hooks up your computer to your stereo via a USB connection and coaxial cable. Then it converts the digital files back into analog songs, which is something only your stereo speakers--and true audiophiles--can love...
