A little wit, a little sarcasm - see how much better these News feeds 'read' - when they're accompanied by photos?
Now imagine them with music, or video? And what happens when these 'multimedia' news feeds get political, sexual or social commentary attached to them? Isn't that partially what a 'multimedia conversation' is all about?
Why does this young man look so happy?
Napster movie planned.

Woes deepen for Matha Stewart.
Poor Martha cashed in 4,000 shares of stock, and has lost almost $700M for it - and is about to get thrown in jail.
There's not much that can be said about Martha, expect I can't think of a better person who represents the past few years more and who deserves this sort of 'treatment'! BTW she's ANOTHER one of John Doerr's IPOs stars - gone sour.

Wanna learn how a Black Hole is formed?
Technical concepts can be explained MUCH easier with imagery.
Chandra discovers the history of black hole x-ray jets.
It's amazing how long it's taken the web to grok all this. This is where we all were in 1992 with the 'so-called' multimedia CD ROM era.
