...company of the ABC network, cut a deal with iTunes to sell episodes of shows such as Lost and Desperate Housewives for $1.99 apiece. A few weeks later CBS and NBC Universal struck deals to sell shows, hours after their airing, via video on demand (VOD) for 99˘ a pop from cable company Comcast and satellite company DirecTV, respectively. (The CBS service debuts in January; NBC's, early next year...
...capitalized on the new medium's capacity for intimacy, chronicling riveting, often weepy stories of the famous (Buster Keaton, Bob Hope, Marilyn Monroe) and sometimes the less famous (Holocaust survivor Hanna Bloch Kohner). More recently, he developed such shows as Name That Tune and The People's Court, the pop-culture phenomenon that in 1981 made California judge Joseph Wapner a household name...

Pueblo turned out to be an ideal spot for this sort of investigation, says Dr. Christine Nevin-Woods, a public-health physician and one of the study's authors.

Gathering data was also relatively straightforward, since almost all heart attacks...

First the bad-man boast, then the sinner's remorse...
...band showcased their best qualities, namely Daniel’s likeable vocal approach and on the alternating use of slow climax and simple backbeats (although he had a full kit, Eno could have done the same job with just snare, bass, and hi-hat). Sometimes sounding like art-pop legends 10cc covering Prince, and other times sounding completely themselves, Spoon delivered all the fun their fad-clad audience could’ve hoped for. Doing as much as Modest Mouse and others to blur the lines between what is respectably indie and guiltily radio-friendly, Daniel and company are helping...
