1. Introducing iPhone and Apple TV
...................................
Last week, Apple CEO Steve Jobs delivered the Macworld 2007 keynote
presentation in San Francisco, unveiling the iPhone and Apple TV.
iPhone combines three products--a revolutionary mobile phone,
a widescreen iPod with touch controls, and a breakthrough Internet
communications device with desktop-class email, web browsing, maps, and
searching--into one small and lightweight handheld device. It completely
redefines what you can do on a mobile phone.
Apple TV brings your iTunes library--movies, TV shows, music, and
podcasts--from your Mac or Windows PC to your big screen at home. And
your digital photos from iPhoto on a Mac or Adobe Photoshop Elements or
Adobe Album on a Windows PC appear in high definition, so you can put on
a stunning big-screen slideshow right on your TV.
Learn about these products now. Watch the Macworld 2007 keynote webcast,
which you can also download from the iTunes Store and play on your iPod.
And check out photo galleries of the show, too.

grandeur of Yellowstone from a cloud, as a golden valley materializes
from the mist. Go deep in the heart of Africa's Congo--when the sun goes
down the forest comes to life. Scuba dive off the Patagonian coast of

Go behind the scenes of videoblogging's favorite introverted extrovert,
Amanda Congdon.
Amanda Congdon is the co-president of Oxmour Entertainment. She is a
videoblogger, writer, actress, and producer. You can watch and
participate in her videoblogs Wednesdays on ABCNews.com and Fridays on
StarringAmandaCongdon.com.
Also, she is currently developing a show for HBO that will feature both
television and online components. Last fall, Amanda traveled across the
country as part of her Amanda Across America project, where she
chronicled her entire trip, via videoblog.

Dewey Finn (Jack Black) is a wannabe rock star who doesn't seem to be
rocking much of anything these days. Kicked out of the band that he
started and about to be kicked out of his apartment, Dewey pretends that
he's his roommate Ned Schneebly (Mike White) in order to take a job as a
substitute teacher.
Arriving at an ultra conservative--and ultra expensive--prep school,
Dewey manages to fool the uptight principal (Joan Cusack). Soon, he
finds himself in a classroom with a bunch of fifth graders. Obviously,
Dewey has no intentions of teaching these kids anything, but when he
discovers that a handful of them are talented musicians, a light bulb
goes off.
Determined to enter the local battle of the bands and win $25,000, Dewey
embarks on his greatest mission of all: Teaching these kids how to rock!
Download and own "School of Rock" at the iTunes Store.

4. Movies
..................
Following the death of Princess Diana in an auto accident, Great
Britain's Queen Elizabeth II (Helen Mirren) and Prime Minister Tony
Blair (Michael Sheen) struggle to reach a compromise in how the royal
family should publicly respond to the tragedy. In the balance is the
family's need for privacy and the public's demand for an outward show of
mourning.
See "The Queen" in theaters now.

In an incredible twist of fate, a Scottish doctor (James McAvoy) on a
Ugandan medical mission becomes irreversibly entangled with one of the
worlds most barbaric figures: Idi Amin (Forest Whitaker). Impressed by
Dr. Garrigan's brazen attitude in a moment of crisis, the newly
self-appointed Ugandan President Amin handpicks him as his physician.
"The Last King of Scotland" opens in theaters today.
