- Stuart Appleby -- Season
STUART APPLEBY: If you had to play 15 of those tournaments in a season, you'd be very hard to build your confidence, because you're constantly getting slapped down. You get up, you get slapped down. - Netflix -- Prices
Netflix vs Apple will come down to three things: securing content, pricing, and non-PC access (TV and mobile). Netflix is ahead on the first two, but losing to Apple on the latter. - Racing Destruction Set -- Cars
Racing Destruction Set (RDS) is a construction set program for enthusiasts of road racing games. It offers many options for customizing the cars and race tracks. The graphics are somewhat limited, but the fast action and multitude of options should keep you busy for quite a while. - Barry White -- Music
This straightforward documentary on soul man Barry White delivers a fairly linear tale of White’s rise to success. From A&R executive and record producer in the 60s, solo artist in the 70s and for better or worse, crystallizing orchestral disco and developing into a prolific musical icon in the 80s. - Smart Car
Recently, ZAP and its partners announced that 2005 model year Smart Cars are being delivered and sold to dealers in: Nevada, Arizona, Florida, Washington, New Hampshire and Pennsylvania. ZAP is establishing a nation-wide dealer network that specializes in smaller, more fuel-efficient gas systems, electric cars, hydrogen, fuel cell, alcohol, hybrid, trybrid and other innovative power systems. - Kurt Busch -- Tony Stewart
Putting Tony Stewart and Kurt Busch on probation for six races and not penalizing them points or money was the a slap on the wrist -- and a slap is all that was needed, writes David Newton. Story - Ipod Mini -- Music
The iPod brand has become synonymous with excellent portable audio players, and the 4GB Apple iPod Mini carries on the tradition with its fashionable, intelligent design. Its hard drive holds about 74 hours' worth of music and shares the same impressive graphical interface and sound specs as its larger sibling, the white iPod. Meanwhile, the earlier device's strongest design point--the scrollwheel--has been improved to help you navigate menus and music with even greater one-handed ease. The only remaining question is whether this new breed of device can create a sweet spot between flash- and hard drive-based players. At $250, the iPod Mini (in multiple colors) is more expensive than some hard drive-based players with larger capacities, but bragging rights alone could make it worth the price. - Zsa Zsa Gabor -- Bel Air
TWO years after a terrible auto accident, Zsa Zsa Gabor is living as a virtual prisoner - by her own choice - inside her Bel Air mansion. The wheelchair-bound legend shuns public appearances and turns down party invites from the likes of Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger and the Sultan of Brunei, according to The Post's David K. Li. Long time lawyer and pal Ronald Jason Palmieri said he'd prefer to see Gabor out and about more often, but understands her desire to appear only at her best. "As with all famous women known for their beauty, there is always a certain level of vanity in play," Palmieri said. "I wish she would enjoy more of a social life, but I understand how one who has created an image of glamour over a lifetime wouldn't want that image shattered as a result of her injuries." Gabor, 87, has sued the driver, Jaren Millard, involved in the Nov. 27, 2002, crash on Sunset Boulevard. Her hesitance to leave home led to a bitter legal fight over where to hold depositions - Zsa Zsa insisted the proceed ings be conducted inside her house (they eventually were) so she wouldn't have to face cameras. - Collide
Collide-2 is one of three experimental programs underway at LASP to study the physics of low-energy collisions in space. Planetary ring systems, protoplanetary disks, the asteroid belt and Kuiper belt are all collisionally evolved systems. However, little is known about the dissipation of energy, the production of ejected materials and accretion in the low-speed collisions that occur between objects with low-surface gravity like planetary ring particles. - Blue Ridge Parkway
The enduring dream of the Blue Ridge Parkway is a tribute both to the immeasurable beauty of nature and the great perseverance of the American people. Over 52 years in the making, the Parkway attracts over 18 million visitors annually who come for the stunning natural attractions, diverse cultural centers, and the pristine, unhurried drives. Stretching 469 miles through the Blue Ridge Mountain Chain, land on both sides is protected and maintained by the National Forest Service. This makes for the longest and narrowest National Park in the world. Several unique features of the park serve to enhance the visitor's experience. Since the road was intentionally designed without direct access to Interstates or other national thoroughfares, there's never any heavy traffic to break the spell of tranquility that inevitably descends upon Parkway visitors.
