After Warioware, we play scenes from the upcoming Legend of Zelda title, Twilight Princess, a moody, dark (by Nintendo's Disneyesque standards) fantasy adventure. Now I'm Errol Flynn, sword fighting with the controller, then aiming a bow and arrow, then using it as a fishing rod, reeling in a stubborn virtual fish. The third game, and probably the most fun, is also the simplest: tennis. The controller becomes a racket, and I'm smacking forehands and stroking backhands. The sensors are fine enough that you can scoop under the ball to lob it, or slice it for spin...
...diagrid, in off-white stainless steel. That serpentine frame is both structural--it supports most of the building's weight--and delightful. It makes of the whole exterior a cage where sunlight plays all day. In the morning the light slaloms up and down the bright diagonals. At twilight those same lines glow. And because the diagrid divides the building into four-story segments, it provides a human scale that an unbroken glass-curtain wall would not. Who cares that it tiptoes right up to the edge of gaudy? Given the mediocrity of so much that has been crammed into...
...What libertarians do is give free range to marketplace morality, which is, as Friedman explains, “whatever…interests the participants, whatever they value, whatever goals they pursue.” Here the Mackey-types emerge, coming from a Twilight Zone where a love of fair trade and free markets converge.

"After growing up in Pittsburgh in the 80s watching the decline of the steel industry, I never wanted to be at the twilight of a company," he says. "I'm interested in creating new categories and shifting industry in some way." He's done just that, fostering the emergence of car sharing as a new transportation category. Under Griffith's leadership, Zipcar has grown seven times over, now raking in $30 million...
...people we talk to] think we’re looking for UFOs, and I try to dispel that notion,” says Andrew W. Howard, a graduate student working on the project. So they’re not searching for giant saucers in the sky or some Twilight Zone-style phenomena. Instead, they’re hoping to identify extraterrestrial communication, in the form of light flashes from distant civilizations. But don’t look for ET and his friends to phone home any time soon. Bruce Betts, director of projects at the Planetary Society, the NGO funding...
