ALL THINGS TO ALL PEOPLE: Higher-quality video and sound were the primary selling points for Blu-ray when the videodisc format was introduced five years ago.

Jonathan Takiff: The new Ford Focus? It's complicated 07/06/2011: THE GIZMO: Dressed with Euro-glam styling and first-in-class gadgetry, the new 2012 Ford Focus is a bit like that stunning creature you spot across the crowded dance floor.
