Other key features of HDFaces include:

Call it "T-learning." FAMILY Dollar, a retail chain with 42,000 employees at 6,000 stores nationwide, is now providing part of its new-hire orientation over the telephone. Realizing many of its employees don't have access to the Internet at work or at home, the retail chain rolled out an automated phone line that enables new hires to register, order name badges, listen to training on company policy and receive company updates. In the system, the new employees confirm that they've received training, and that data is stored so Family Dollar can monitor the progress.

"Leadership" gone bad

With respect to leadership (June, 2005), another potent but hard-to-recognize (and even-harder-to-counter) force plays a role: Bad leaders (who rarely realize they are bad leaders) drive out good leaders, especially when they think they're leaders just because they're in a position of 'leadership.'

After a number of hiccups and delays, Intel finally announced in late October that it has scrapped plans to develop a high-resolution LCOS (liquid crystal on silicon) display chip.

Canon, Panasonic and Sony all released three-CCD Mini-DV camcorders this summer aimed at the prosumer market. With three CCDs (charge coupled devices), these cameras dedicate a separate imaging chip to each of the three color channels — red, green .⻼皺欸/

A comparison of two lightweight LCD projectors, Panasonic's SVGA-resolution PT-LM1U and 3M's XGA-resolution Digital Projector X50.

"All things great and small" could have easily been the theme of this year's Consumer Electronics Show. Everywhere you turned big, eye-popping flat screens vied for the attention of those walking the aisles. But in-between the plasmas, LCDs and rear-projection TVs, it was gizmos galore. And no matter what you looked at, be it digital cameras, camcorders or flash media, the theme seemed to be tiny, shiny, easy-to-carry gadgets.
