Lunch (Jan 25 2005 18:59 GMT) - I had a chance to buy lunch for a fellow who has been beta testing the pre-releases of Tasks (and sending in some great bug reports). It's always nice to be able to say "thank you". I stopped at Starbucks after to try the Chantico. The Bluetooth modem/Dell 700m combo is very nice for portable work like this. It's no 12" PowerBook, but it does the job. |

- Our editors and reviewers have kept their lists throughout the year, and have selected the books that they believe are the best of 2004. These are the books that had that "special something" that made them stand out. 2004 was an interesting year for books.

- Oprah Winfrey's "My Favorite Things" is one of the show's most popular episodes and manufacturers lobby hard to land a spot on the coveted list of items that Oprah just can't do without. The New York Post reports that Clarkson Potter, an imprint of Random House refused to cooperate when Oprah wanted to feature one of their books in last year's Christmas show. Oprah tells TV trade magazine Broadcasting and Cable what happened. "There was this book that somebody had given to me, a book called The Way We Live [by Stafford Cliff and Gilles de Chabaneix]." "It was a great coffee-table book, and it had pictures from all over the world of different homes and how people live in all these different homes. |

- Who is the best Manchester band of all time? The recent debate about the greatest Scottish band of all time got us thinking. What other regions have such a rich and varied musical history that there would be several serious contenders for the title Best Band Ever From…? While the Liverpool argument would almost certainly be finished by the phrase “Two words: The Beatles†and Ireland could only ever really come up with the answer “U2â€, the Manchester scene has been so fertile over the years that the merest mention of it in the office prompted a near-riot. |
