**What is the sound of three hands clapping?** I found out at noon on a
Thursday in September, while walking through the headquarters of the
e-commerce titan Alibaba in Hangzhou, China. On the fourth floor, a massive
work space is filled with hundreds of headset-equipped salespeople sitting
under yard after yard of fluorescent lighting. This is Alibaba’s army of cold
callers. They telephone clients who have storefronts on the website, urging
them to buy keyword advertising or to pay to boost their online rankings. Each
salesperson inhabits a cubicle furnished with a desk, a plastic sunflower, and
a mirror–the last a reminder to smile, because it’s an …

Dumbo (Two-Disc 70th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray / DVD Combo Pack in Blu-ray Packaging) $18.00 A Disney “classic” that actually is a classic, Dumbo should be part of your video collection whether or not you have children. The storytelling was never as lean as in Dumbo, the songs rarely as haunting (or just plain weird), the characters rarely so well defined. The film pits the “cold, cruel, heartless” world that can’t accept abnormality against a plucky, and mute, hero. Jumbo Jr. (Dumbo is a… |

Lara Croft – Tomb Raider (Special Collector’s Edition) $1.86 Like the video game series it’s based on, Tomb Raider is best enjoyed for its physical strategies, since even casual scrutiny of story details will induce a headache. It’s more concerned with puzzles than plot, populated with characters that don’t have personalities so much as attitudes. It’s silly and somber at the same time, but as a franchise vehicle for Angelina Jolie in the title role of reli… |
