• A Long Line for a Shorter Wait at the Supermarket
  Because people stand in the same line, waiting for a register to become available, there are no "slow" lines, delayed by a coupon-counting customer or languid cashier.
  A single-line, bank-style checkout system has given Whole Foods one of the fastest grocery store lines in New York.

• A Rat With a Whisk and a Dream
  The idea was to create food so authentic that people would leave the theater with an urge to cook and eat. But it turns out that computer-generated food can look much scarier than a computer-generated bug or car.
  To create the precisely rendered restaurant in the new animated movie “Ratatouille,” the filmmakers took cooking classes and studied the work of top chefs.

• Amazon Unbox Comes to TiVo
  Taking the Amazon Unbox on TiVo service for a spin. Buy a program at work, watch it when you get home, no PC required. The DRM is a drag, but Amazon and TiVo succeeded in narrowing the gap between the web and the living room.

• Apple TV First Impressions
  It's a simple device that does a basic job well... and with a lot of style, of course. Some odd interface choices and the lack of a "Buy It Now" option are frustrating, but all in all its a winner. If you don't have HD service in your neighborhood, an Apple TV may still make an HDTV set worthwhile.

  I love MetaFilter (and Ask MetaFilter), and I love that I can now get it in my ears. This is the podcast feed for your podcatcher. There's also a podcast page (http://podcast.metafilter.com) at MeFi but it's curiously lacking a prominent RSS link.

• Conspiracy theories abound about 'Heroes,' 'Lost'
  "Lost," the word goes, is deeper and more cinematic; "Heroes" is pulpier and better-paced. And the way fans sometimes talk, there seems a cosmic cyber-wish for the shows to somehow merge - to meld into a single supernatural drama that doles out questions and answers in acceptable weekly doses.

  "I'm a hobbyist turned designer turned developer who eventually got to quit my day job and support myself with my projects. Along the way, my business life has gotten increasingly complicated and I've had to spend hours researching accounting, the law, and usage patterns on my sites.

• From PC to TV -- via Apple
  "In our tests, it worked great, and we can easily recommend it for people who are yearning for a simple way to show on their big TVs all that stuff trapped on their computers. We tried it with various combinations of Windows and Mac computers, with movies, photos, TV shows, video clips and music. And we didn't even use the fastest wireless network it can handle. It performed flawlessly."

• Getting a lesson in retail inside world's busiest Costco
  The Iwilei Costco - the largest among the company's three Oahu locations - posted $300 million in sales last year. Iwilei is so busy, in fact, that it turns its entire inventory every two-and-a-half to three weeks... a logistical wonder considering most everything comes in by water.

  Mr. Singhal is the master of what Google calls its “ranking algorithm” — the formulas that decide which Web pages best answer each user’s question. It is a crucial part of Google’s inner sanctum, a department called “search quality” that the company treats like a state secret.
  Google’s top minds offer a peek inside the algorithm that provides search results for half a billion users.

• Growing Up In Public
  What do you do when you realize how public your online life is? You could retreat into anonymity and try to ensure you leave no trace online (but increasingly there's something odd about a person who seems to leave no Google trace). Or you could say "So what?" and accept that every aspect of your online life is out there for people to find and judge as they will.

  If you're subscribed to a mailing list, you've no doubt been subjected to the 'thread that just won't die!' If you're part of a long message conversation that isn't relevant, you can 'mute' the conversation to keep all future additions out of your inbox.

• HTY Gets "LOST"
  We attended a benefit reading for the Honolulu Theatre for Youth featuring several cast members from ABC's filmed-in-Hawaii series "LOST": Matthew Fox (Jack), Terry O'Quinn (Locke), Jorge Garcia (Hurley), Daniel Dae Kim (Jin), Henry Ian Cusick (Desmond), Michael Emerson (Ben) and Elizabeth Mitchell (Juliet). I dare say it was the highlight of my year so far.
