...home-entertainment experience - may never be the same. A Miami-based company called Alienware makes a custom PC called Navigator starting at $1700: an entertainment-dedicated unit that runs Microsoft's new Windows XP Media Center Edition and plays TV, records like a TiVo, and runs Internet content, DVDs, CDs and digital music, either on its own monitor and speakers or by channeling the media to your TV or stereo. It could take the place of every component in your entertainment system. Hewlett-Packard, Gateway and Cyberpower are also building PCs dressed up in consumer-electronics drag. They even come...
...president of Arista Records, the label he founded and had run for 25 years, when Arista's German parent, Bertelsmann Music Group, pressed him to retire. After months of tabloid speculation about how Davis--whose ego is a frequent subject of industry jokes ("Why does Clive Davis like CDs more than tapes? He thinks they were named after him")--would respond, he surprised his critics, friends and corporate overlords by stepping aside without a peep. As a reward for his grace, Davis was given seed money to start J Records, where in a short time he piloted Alicia Keys...
Within moments I learned a couple of key things. One was that your first day is no time to take over the sound system.

It's not dirty old men that buy their CDs though; it's usually other, often younger, girls. Lisa Smosarski, editor of teen-pop magazine Smash Hits, says, "Teenagers will understand the video was made to shock and create playground talk: 'Oh my God. Have you seen that video where those girls snog? You've got to see it!' Record...
...dual heritage. Most songs have a typical Dutch sing-a-long rhythm with tinges of more exotic North African melodies thrown in. Raymzter usually writes the music first. Once he's got the rhythm right, he'll work out the lyrics and then call up Baudo - who's produced CDs for top hip-hop names on both sides of the Atlantic - to flesh things out. Most of Raymzter's friends and the people he works with are from ethnic minorities or of mixed race, but Raymzter says he feels as much Dutch as Moroccan: "Maybe it's just that most...
