Web Stars: Best of the Web 01/17/2004 10:48 PM

Web Stars: Best of the Web by Josh Taylor
http ://www.pcworld.com/reviews/article/0,aid,113745,00.asp

Where should you go for news, research, shopping, and more? We compare Goliaths of the Web to lesser-known upstarts--and discover some surprising results. The Web has been around long enough that even the most adventuresome surfer might end up in a rut, always using the same sites to get work done. So we put up the periscope to scan for the best newcomers and compared them to the Net's stalwarts. In each category, one site emerged as the Best Bet--but that shouldn't dissuade you from exploring the other contenders, all of which offer innovative and useful features you won't find anywhere else.

This proposal to make Israel and Palestine the 51st and 52nd states seems to be serious. While the site explains that it only takes a majority vote of the US Congress to add a state — there's a Constitutional flaw for you! — it oddly says nothing about asking the Israelis and Palestinians. [Thanks, Mark D., for the link.]...

Masa grabs four stars


Masa grabs four stars 12/30/2004 11:54 AM
Masa, the very expensive Japanese restaurant at the Time Warner Center gets four stars from New York Times restaurant critic Frank Bruni: Sushi at Masa Is a Zen Thing. Simply put, Masa engineers discrete moments of pure elation that few if any other restaurants can match. It also becomes the first Japanese restaurant in New York to garner four stars from the Times since Hatsuhana in 1983. Bruni's experiences sound incredible, and yet as much as I love sushi, I can't fathom spending $350 per person (not including tip, tax, or drinks) to experience it. Not even if I saved up a dollar every day for year. It sure sounds yummy though. Maybe someday someone will treat me to a dinner there. That would be ideal!
