...When money is tight, it's also a good time for Hollywood's bulletproof brands, like Pixar (Wall E), Will Smith (Hancock) and Ben Stiller (Tropic Thunder). "Whether it's an analgesic or a motion picture, you're putting your money into something familiar," says former studio executive David Weitzner, who teaches at the University of Southern California School of Cinematic Arts. This summer's old-is-new fare, like Indy, Steve Carell's Get Smart and the Sex and the City movie should all benefit from the recognition factor. But films with lesser-known pedigrees, like the graphic novel...
...ultimately, Randall wanted McIntosh to return to its roots, making superior vacuum tubes and solid-state amplifiers with enormous amounts of power and bulletproof accuracy. (Higher power and lower distortion rates are what characterized the revolutionary amplifier that launched the company in 1949.) By adding leading-edge CD players, music servers for digital files and iPod docks, Mac would be set for the next generation of audiophiles. D&M Holdings liked the plan.

"Whether you realize it or not, you use it in your life every day," says Steven Hentges, head of the polycarbonate group at the industry lobby organization American Chemistry Council. There are, of course, alternatives to polycarbonates, like glass and other plastics. And for the growing number of consumers opposed to bisphenol A, there...
...that’s being secured? In end, the clip’s most valuable asset is its sheer randomness. Shots of Tim whispering into Nicole’s ear are intercut with shots of car hoods and the girls who dance around them, while Timbaland simultaneously dons a bulletproof vest. One could argue that the nonsensicality of these directorial decisions is in line with the nonsensicality of the song’s lyrics. These include “Can I have some of your cookies / Can I have some of your pie / May I cut the first slice...
