In an example of blatant but stylish cross-marketing, Olympus will introduce in July the official camera of Schumacher's racing team, the Ferrari Digital Model 2004 ($699), a 3.2megapixel digital camera with 3X optical zoom.

They keep saying the ride can cause motion sickness, and I will offer as Exhibit A the young man in the simulator next to ours who lost lunch on his way to the exit. For all the physical effect...
