Less subjectively, it is clear that movie studios spend large amounts of money on campaigning for their films. Miramax has been the most widely-discussed (and arguably successful) studio that uses this technique. An award can give a film a huge boost at the box office, and make an artist an industry power player overnight. In the past few decades, the advent of VHS tape and DVDs have given Academy Awards a new level of importance, as the attachment of a win (or even nomination) in a prominent category can dramatically increase sales and rentals. The Academy has made much of cracking down on these campaigns, but the results have been mixed. Such influence is nothing new; for example, it is widely believed William Randolph Hearst ran a campaign to ensure that Citizen Kane -- a film regarded by many as the greatest of all time -- did not receive any Academy Award nominations. The film ended up receiving only one trophy, despite nominations in nine categories.

Apple refers to the player and the technology as iPod, rather than as the iPod. This is reflected on the Apple web site (for example, iPod incorporates the same touch-sensitive Apple Click Wheel that debuted on iPod mini), and is similar to its use of the word iMac.

iPod can play MP3, WAV, AAC/M4A, Protected AAC, AIFF, Audible audiobook, and Apple Lossless file formats. It cannot play OGG Vorbis, FLAC, Windows Media Audio (WMA), or RealAudio files, and Apple seems unlikely to add support for these formats, as they compete with Apple's QuickTime. The Windows version of iTunes can transcode WMA files to AAC unless they have copy protection.

In October 2003, Ms. Anderson jokingly said on Howard Stern's radio show that she does not expect to live more than ten or fifteen years [1], but this was misconstrued and taken seriously by many Internet sites and tabloids.

In the summer of 2004, Toyota sent a demo disc of GT4 along with the marketing brochure of its Prius hybrid car. The demo disc featured only two cars, namely the Prius and a Toyota hybrid concept sport car. Toyota stopped offering the demo discs when the requests of the marketing brochure became disproportional to the real interest on their cars. The disc became a collectible item for Prius owners and it was available via auction at eBay occasionally.

Spent coffee grounds are a good fertilizer in gardens because of their high nitrogen content. Nitrogen is a crucial component of DNA, RNA and of the proteins which plants require to build themselves. Coffee grounds also contain potassium, phosphorus and many other trace elements that aid plant development. Many gardeners report that roses love coffee grounds and when furnished with the same become big and colorful.

Blade Grinders �smash� the beans with a blade at very high speed (20,000 to 30,000 rpm). The ground coffee has larger and smaller particles and is warmer than ground coffee from burr grinders. Blade grinders create �coffee dust� which can clog up sieves in espresso machines and French presses. These type of grinders are suitable for drip coffee makers. They also can do a great job for grinding spices and herbs. They are not recommended for use with pump espresso machines.

1997 saw the release of Final Fantasy VII. The characters and entire game world were now 3-dimensional, with fully pre-rendered backgrounds. Final Fantasy VII was also the first Final Fantasy game to use full motion video sequences, part of the reason why the game spanned a full three CD-ROMs. However, Final Fantasy VII's video often lacked consistency, with characters appearing tiny and indistinct in one scene, and ultra-detailed in the next.
