...getting way smarter. The new crop is rigged up with video came-ras, touch-panel computer screens and optical sensors. And these are more than just bells and whistles. In many new models, wireless chips improve efficiency by alerting vendors when a machine is running out of Pocari Sweat or chips. This generation will also be able to hawk digital wares, from music and movies to paperless train tickets. And that promises to fundamentally remake the business by allowing vendors of electronic goods to bypass Japan's complicated distribution system by restocking their machines from a remote computer.

...with his aura intact. A film actor on location needs to know if his woman is cheating on him. An incriminating photo has to be smuggled out of a nation in civil war. The planet's bitchiest rock star--yes, Madonna!--needs a speedy comeuppance. Five tough assignments; zero sweat.

The performance is a large-scale endeavor that requires that all the details be in place, so that the ultimate “big picture” is as powerful as it can be. Furthermore, not only is Sondheim’s music notoriously difficult for performers to master, but the audience may come in with pre-formed expectations from...
...boost from a battery-powered electric motor like the one found in a blender. (The motor works only when you're pedaling, so you're not cheating totally.) Or, if you want to bike to work but don't like to show up for your morning meeting in full sweat, electric bikes can make the ride easier and relatively perspiration-free. The assist from a six-hour charge-up will take you about 20 miles, at a maximum speed of 20 m.p.h...
