...moral of this story is: Americans are inherently consumer animals. Doesn't really seem like a revelation, does it? Try telling that to the two most talked-about men in the nation today, those ne'er-do-well Presidential candidates. Both Al Gore '69 and George W. Bush seem to have forgotten the lesson about the true meaning of the holidays: If you want to sell your product, you have to convince your audience that they can't live without it. Had either candidate discovered a better way to sell themselves to the "electoral consumer," we never would have gotten...
...time to don my captain's hat. Question was, Could I drive, er, pilot a two-story house? During the next several hours, Steve gave us a crash course on how to operate the high-powered generator, prime the engine, use the toilet, work the marine radio and anchor the boat. Under his watchful eye, I soon settled into the captain's chair to take over the wheel. And then, good news! It became obvious that driving a houseboat--even a 60-footer--is a snap.

A glimpse of the other big new line of business can be found at Selectronic, a three-year-old New Delhi company where young Indian workers are paid to watch American TV programs like ER and Chicago Hope as part of their job training. Selectronic also hires stenographers to transcribe medical records for doctors in California, Georgia and Pennsylvania. Without the Internet, that vast distance was unbridgeable; with the Net in place, a whole range of labor-intensive work--or "IT-enabled services"--can be done anywhere...
...Messed Up Too-and you have yourself a motion picture with quite a bit going against it. That said, I immensely enjoyed Little Nicky, a heartwarming story about the devil (Harvey Keitel, a bit out of place in this classless romp) and his three sons: ne'er-do-wells Adrian (Rhys Ifans) and Cassius (Tom Lister) and wimpy, innocent Nicky (Sandler). This isn't your father's hell; Satan rules justly over the condemned souls, respecting that a natural balance must exist between good and evil. However, when Adrain and Cassius make a break for the surface, the natural order...
