...cassette tapes into the digital age. Pioneer and Marantz will begin selling similar recorders this summer. Sony and Sharp are spearheading an effort to revive the MiniDisc format, which records digital music onto tiny discs inside cartridges smaller than a Post-it note.

Although long suspected, the wild dysfunctionality of the JonBenet Ramsey investigation was documented last Thursday when lead detective STEVE THOMAS resigned.
