...Jobs thinks that same guy wants his iMac to play DVDs and edit digital videos. Jobs has a long history of divining the high-tech future, often recognizing it in technology other people invented: the mouse. The visual desktop. The laser printer. Rainbow-hued PCs. The wireless laptop. Now, years before most people have even heard of broadband Internet access, Jobs has bet the farm on the convergence of his two companies' products. Digital video, he proclaimed at the iMac launch last week, is "the next big thing...
...More than half the movie had to be redone. Buster the dog was added, as was Wheezy, the damaged penguin. Tensions rose as the workload increased. The company stock was on a yo-yo ride, with merchandise income from the $358 million megahit Toy Story trickling out and home video and merchandise sales from A Bug's Life ($362 million worldwide) expected to fall below expectations...
...happiness? Mendes offers an answer in the character of Ricky (excellently played by Wes Bentley), Burnham's teenage neighbor.

I don't necessarily blame these hostile crowds--what if you went to Britney Spears and got Wu-Tang...
...nominated (Mariah, if you're not nominated, you can't win). The MTV's, the People's Choice, the Cable Ace Awards, the Tonys, the Teen People's Choice, the Soul Train Awards, the Oscars, the Daytime Emmys--you get the picture. In a recent documentary about her new video for "Heartbreaker," she begged MTV to nominate her for a Video Music Award. Pathetic, Mariah, pathetic. I think Madonna summed it up best on this one: "The same people who set O.J. free are the same people who made Mariah Carey a star...
