Although the Crimson defense allowed only two field goals in the second half, the 27 points was more than the unit allowed in all but one game last year: the 35-34 come-from-behind victory against Brown. The Bears were also the only team to lead Harvard at halftime last season...
...hard drive nestled behind an impressive 7-in. LCD screen. (For $200 more, you can get a 100GB version.) Though surprisingly slender, it's larger than any portable game system. The video-grabbing apparatus is actually a separate piece of hardware that you plug in on top of the unit, and it has video input as well as output, so you can watch what you're doing on a regular TV screen. The breakout box also has a jack for an infrared wire, for use in changing channels on your cable...
That's really just the beginning of the downside. Worse is that this is far from easy to use. The buttons on the unit make very little sense, even to someone who's been around his fair share of electronic devices (ahem). There's four-button directional pad, but there's no "OK" button in the middle. It had Play/Pause and Stop, but it didn't have any clearly marked volume buttons nor anything clearly marked for fast-forwarding and rewinding. (To find these controls you have to push buttons at random, which can lead to unpleasant situations...
...Japan consumes. Analysts now worry that the economy is finally beginning to show the strain. "We're particularly concerned that rising energy costs will amplify the existing squeeze on corporate profit margins in China," says Ben Simpfendorfer, an economist at JPMorgan Chase in Hong Kong. Indeed, Shanghai Petrochemical, a unit of the state-owned oil company Sinopec, warned last week that profits in the second half of this year will decline significantly. If other companies feel a similar pinch, as Simpfendorfer fears, that could crimp one of the main drivers of China's current economic boom?spending by companies...
...spare tires on his feet - "they're my clown shoes," he says. In fact, they're his farm boots, which bear the U.S. brand name of Providence. An apt choice, since Neill is the most accidental of actors. It was while directing documentaries for the New Zealand National Film Unit that he was asked by director Gillian Armstrong to audition for My Brilliant Career (perhaps she saw something of landed gent Harry Beecham in Neill, whose family founded one of the New Zealand's largest liquor importers). And it was while filming a TV costume drama in Melbourne...
