Turtle Dance Inventor: Takara Availability: Now, only in Japan; about $12 each To Learn More: takaratoys.co.jp (Japanese only) It's small, it's cute and it sashays across your desk, tail wriggling. To program Walkie Bits, simply tap its shell with your finger. It can remember and mimic a rhythmic pattern of up to 15 clicks. In song mode, it bleep-bleeps Leopold Mozart's Toy Symphony.

Manufacturers in China and South Korea are hot on Motorola's tail. When they figure out (and that is when, not if) how to make phones as cool as the Razr, there's little doubt they will produce them faster and more cheaply. Motorola's stock is up 58% since Zander took over as CEO, but it has been hovering around $20 for the past four months, despite seven straight quarters of double-digit...
...have to be the Beatles to be realized as a creative artist? Do you have to be Bill Gates to be a business success? The whole point of the new market is that it's much more distributed. People find tighter but smaller audiences, what we call "the long tail." It's better than having these fundamentally fictitious hits created by marketing...
