...Cybie is a robotic puppy that can walk, bark, lie down, scratch his ear and do dozens of other things real dogs do. And unlike real dogs, i-Cybie, made by Tiger Electronics, doesn't relieve himself on the carpet. His 16 motors make him almost creepily lifelike. Human reactions range from "That's the cutest thing I've ever seen" to "Get it off me! Get it off me!" Judge for yourself. i-Cybie can be yours for $200--cheap compared with Sony's $1,500 Aibo...
...entertaining 1998 hit, a don't-invite-'em pair of cops--the serious one (Jackie Chan) from Hong Kong, the shrill one (Chris Tucker) from L.A.--do battle against malefactors of nearly every race. It's good to see Zhang Ziyi, the high-flying ingenue from Crouching Tiger, in a dragon-lady role, and fetching Roselyn Sanchez as a woman of uncertain loyalties. But until a vigorous climax, the action scenes have little punch. The film seems content to rely on the formula that could (small sigh) extend for a few more sequels: Jackie kicks butt; Chris kicks sass...
...LANKA Suicide Bombers Strike at Airport Audacious attacks by Tamil tiger rebels on a military air base and the international airport at Colombo left 21 people dead and 11 aircraft destroyed. At the airport hundreds of passengers dived for cover as gunfire and grenades exploded at 3:45 a.m. Four hours earlier the rebels had struck at the Katunayake Air Force Base, blowing up eight military aircraft. The dead - seven servicemen and 14 rebels - included several suicide bombers, who detonated explosives strapped around their bodies. The attack was thought to have marked the anniversary of the 1983 anti-Tamil riots...
...there's any progress on that front, it has come thanks to Tiger Woods and his sponsor, Nike. The Swoosh got into the golf-ball business on the cheap three years ago and, remarkably, has already pulled down 5% of the market. Part of Nike's secret is a simple technological shift to a solid-core rubber ball, which travels considerably farther than the conventional ball, made of wound rubber bands. Other companies have moved to similar balls. Titleist's Pro V1 solid-core balls are now so popular that they are being rationed to retailers...
...nice people, we Americans, with 225 years of optimism at our backs. So last Wednesday when M.J., after months of teasing and toying, of shedding 25 lbs. and of endless practices, finished the year's most journalist-packed golf game not involving Tiger Woods and said he had make a decision about returning to the NBA in September, we got excited. He had said the day before, "I look forward to playing, and hopefully I can get to that point where I can make that decision. It's O.K. to have some doubt, and it's O.K. to have some...
