...which automatically and wirelessly synchs your e-mail, calendar, contacts and photos among your iPhone and assorted computers. Yes, the .Mac service was a dog that needed a new name - I mean, why pay for something that Google gives you for free? Clearly, MobileMe - at least judging by the demo yesterday - will be better than the various free services that Google offers. In fact, the MobileMe apps, when run via the Web, appear to behave with drag-and-drop fluidity. You'd think they were desktop apps. So who knows, maybe people will be upsold to the $99-a-year...
...many Mario titles. He has managed to take an activity that many people dread - exercise - and actually make it feel like a game. "What is most interesting to me is helping people find something within themselves and then drawing it out," says Miyamoto, 55, who gave TIME a private demo of Wii Fit in a penthouse suite overlooking Central Park one morning in April. After two full weeks of sweating with it, I'm here to say he's right. Although I'll admit there were days when I hated Wii Fit, I kept going back for more...

Their songs instantly recall The Smiths, yet are written with an intelligence and grace (listen...
...Often compared to a young Yoko Ono, Wong feels an overwhelming impulse to create; she wrote the seven tracks on the ethereal Sometime Next Galaxy - her new, seven-song EP - in a single burst. "Very often, the demo is the final song you hear on the record," she says. "It's direct and honest." But these are demos, one should add, that benefit from the luscious mastering of London-based Mandy Parnell, who has previously worked with Leslie Feist, Sigur Rós and Depeche Mode. And besides, Wong has ambitions that go beyond her computer's minimalist bleeps...
