...other times, in other elections, liberals might stew morosely and withdraw. Not in 2004. First the Left got angry at itself for letting the White House slip away, then it firmly resolved not to let it happen again. So the non-fiction film unit of the progressive movement flooded movie and computer screens with talking points for Kerry voters and fence-sitters alike...
...have multiple speakers when one unit will do? The Yamaha Sound Projector YSP-1 (due out in March) is a $1,500 panel that takes the place of five speakers, bouncing sound to all corners of a room by manipulating sound waves. You still need a subwoofer, but it's great for tight spaces and people who don't like wires all around. Camera lovers, smile and say cheese to the OLYMPUS M:ROBE MR-500I, due in January.

"You can talk like that...
...hard, married, started a family and rose to a top job at GE, having been recruited by Jack Welch himself. Then, in 1999, Azim Premji, chairman of Wipro, an Indian conglomerate, called him back to India. He asked Paul, a former water-polo captain, to take over his software unit, Wipro Technologies. "He said, 'You can build another skyscraper in New York,'" Paul says, "'or you can build a completely new thing in India.'" Paul took the challenge. He transformed Wipro Technologies from a $150 million software developer into a $1 billion force in offshore outsourcing, handling IT and customer...
