...Music is a big part of the CU500's raison d'?tre. Like most phones, it plays MP3s loaded onto a memory card (sold separately). There's a sweet program called MusicID that magically names almost any tune it hears through its microphone - even stuff playing on your car radio. Cingular's MobiRadio program is there, however a warning at launch says you should subscribe to an unlimited data plan if you want to use the 40-channel streaming radio service (which itself is $9.99 per month). The CU500's Bluetooth wireless system lets you connect to wireless headphones...
...Applebee's' sense of disembodiment, of radical anti-locality, extends throughout its menu. A "Tuscan Shrimp Salad" bears only a notional relationship to Tuscany, where I have never seen the discordant, more-Asian-than-Italian marriage of almonds, shrimp, sun-dried tomatoes, hot peppers, sweet peppers, and soft lettuce.

...small, nondescript restaurant run by a team of gracious, deeply devout, conservative Sunnis. In the Middle East, most restaurant workers, from the maitre d' to the dishwashers, are men. When I go to this restaurant, I feel like I am being tended by a team of sweet old uncles. They all come over, one by one, to ask how I am and how my father is. This is how I know that they are both conservative and sweet: they have met my mother, but do not want to suggest anything rude by asking about...
...love and drugs aren’t Gartside’s only vices. The guy who sings like Al Green sweet-talking a 12-year old devotes an entire verse of his album’s opening song to Run-D.M.C song titles, and his production owes...
