...curators of this seven-disc set neglect whole chunks of rap and dance music and package the compilation in a cover featuring vacuum-packed coffee beans. They may be going for high camp, but the 130 songs, arranged chronologically--starting with M.C.

...safety experts are worried, however, about apparently subpar investigations into the crashes.

According to John Yunker, president of Byte Level Research, "by 2006, and perhaps even by the last quarter of this year, non-U.S. revenue will surpass U.S. revenue." That's because eBay's revenue growth is slowing in the U.S. as the market matures (last year domestic revenues grew 34% to $1.89 billion) and because its international growth has been extraordinary. eBay's gross-merchandise volume (GMV)?the total dollar value...
