Fight Club is not the first time someone has tried to grapple with yuppie angst. When the New Beetle was unveiled in 1998, the cough-drop-on-wheels was touted as the ultimate antidote to the ennui of the under-40 crowd. It was deja vu all over again: here was the "Love Bug," the charmingly rotund little symbol of all things flower-power, updated for the era of power-lunches.

Bad news for Steve Jobs: E-Power will ship at about two-thirds the price of the iMac...
Open Your Eyes is an entertaining analysis of the blurry line between reality and fantasy, dreams and nightmare, and the powers of the human mind. Cesar has several experience of deja vu, some that are actually happening for the first time after happening in a dream, and some that he recalls from real life while in the dream...
