- CNET NEWS.COM - Writing an end to the bio of BIOS. Intel and Microsoft are gearing up to move toward the first major overhaul of the innermost workings of the personal computer--the boundary where software and hardware meet--during 2004. The companies will begin promoting a technology specification called EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) as a new system for starting up a PC's hardware before its operating system begins loading, a process that kicks in every time a PC is switched on or restarted. Intel and Microsoft say it's time to ditch the outmoded BIOS, or basic input/output system, which for 23 years has served to start a PC's hardware before the operating system takes over. |

- For actress Charlize Theron, turning ugly for her role in 'Monster' was reasonably easy: a little make-up to freckle her clear complexion, a set of crooked teeth to yellow her pearly smile and a diet of potato chips to bulk up her slender frame. The statuesque beauty is transformed in the new film into Aileen Wuornos, a prostitute who was executed in Florida in 2002 for murdering six men. But to focus on Theron's make-up and weight is to miss her portrayal of Wuornos, which is being praised as one of the best pieces of acting this year. Theron is shown in a scene from the film in this undated publicity photograph. |

- Visiting Edinburgh by Train From London. Edinburgh, the "Athens of the North," is probably the most dramatic-looking capital city in Europe. The castle glowers from over a black, volcanic cliff, watching over Princes Street and the gray, granite-block buildings that shine in the rain and brood in the sun. Carved, Greek columns give Edinburgh a justified air of education and culture. |
