More than anything, Schrager is a stylist, and he understands that the façade of any development, whether a hotel or a residence, has to jibe with pop culture to be commercially successful. Several years ago, he started to look around for a new idea, traveling everywhere from Istanbul to Texas. "Seeing other exotic kinds of aesthetics was expansive for me," he says. "I wanted to do something that was really a reversal. The prospect of working with an artist was new to me." And when he saw Schnabel's movie Before Night Falls, he knew Schnabel could project...
Every Thursday night for the past 19 years, Rudolph Valentino has wordlessly fought the same rival and lost and won the same woman above the fading velveteen seats of the Majestic Theatre at Pomona (pop. 900), 30 km inland from the Sunshine Coast.

MySpace's wild popularity has inspired a slew of startups to create features and applications specifically for MySpacers - like Rojo Networks' "Nooz" ticker, which links to the day's top stories, based on how many other members...
...spyware, worms, and other cyber threats lurk. The program attaches tiny color-coded icons to links that appear on a list of search returns - a green check means it's safe to proceed, a red X means it's not; a yellow icon indicates nuisances such as spam or pop-ups. Why would you need this? Because simply clicking through to a suspect site can wreak havoc on a PC, and risky sites comprise a growing portion of search returns. If you want a service that will flag for inappropriate content such as porn, try Scandoo...
