New Cars: Saturn Aura, BMW 3 Series Coupe and More
Since all its body panels are metal, it hits the street with narrower gaps and sexier lines than earlier, plastic-body Saturn models. There are two Auras, the base XE and our choice, the XR, with its 252-hp 3.6-liter V6 and six-speed automatic. However, there are a few hints that Saturn may still be a half step away from the majors. While the interior is done well, some rock-hard surfaces and the lack of grab handles prove annoying with the miles. — DON CHAIKIN .

NEC FlexLoad: Downgrade easily from Vista to XP
Although Windows Vista has proven decidedly more popular than Windows XP, despite the negative feedback Vista has received from many quarters, there are many businesses that simply still need XP. In preparation for XP's discontinuation in July 2008, OEMs are preparing to offer those potential customers alternatives to the upcoming limitation of only being able to the purchase XP in 50+ quantities. NEC Computers has introduced NEC Flexload, a software solution aimed at IT administrators that allows them to downgrade rapidly and easily from Microsoft Windows Vista Business (the only edition that NEC supports the downgrade for) to Microsoft Windows XP Professional. The company explains that many networks are still running on XP; as long as they can remain within the law, NEC Computers is not about to lose potential customers.
Scotching the myth
This came about as a result of the economic and political centralism that worked to keep Scotland down and to favour the south of England where the large population resulted in political domination. As a young man I was proud to support Scottish Nationalism because it made sense. I always found the superior attitude of the English and their disdain for Scots quite disgusting. Finally, has the Herald come to the realization that an independent Scotland is a future reality and are planning to become the real voice of this new and wonderful Scoland. Oh I wish I lived back in Glasgow where I could work towards our glorious speration. .
Super Bowl cameraman juggles to catch jingle
At crunch time at the Super Bowl today, he'll rely on the confidence gained from having been in the same precarious situation many times before. To avoid defeat, he'll rely on his savvy, quickness, toughness and anticipation, along with his vision of the field. Millions of dollars are riding on his shoulders. Tom Brady? Eli Manning? No, he's Mark Allan, a stocky, 61-year-old San Francisco native who lives in Inverness. He has wielded a camera for 40 years. Today, the freelance television cameraman's mission, as at many previous Super Bowls, is to capture the key player of the victorious team in the frenzied seconds immediately after the clock has run out. Someday, if he were so inclined, his epitaph could echo the triumphant words he and his crew elicit from the day's hero: "I'm going to Disneyland!" In the commercial that will further immortalize the lucky player, an off-camera voice says, "(Player's name), you've just won the Super Bowl.
