Editorial Product Review: essential video:This restored, animated valentine to the Beatles offers viewers the rare chance to see a work that's been substantially improved by its technical facelift, not just supersized with extra footage. Recognizing that its song-studded soundtrack alone makes Yellow Submarine a video annuity, United Artists has lavished a frame-by-frame refurbishment of the original feature, while replacing its original monaural audio tracks with a meticulously reconstructed stereo mix that actually refines legendary original album versions.

Editorial Product Review: :Dave Hood, cocreator and host of the There Goes a... series of videos for kids, takes us on a tour of the world of bulldozers, a natural favorite of those many children infatuated with earth-moving equipment.

We meet bulldozer operators and see them pushing dirt, rocks, and debris from one ...
Editorial Product Review: :'Officer Dave' Hood, the cocreator and host of the energetic There Goes a... series of videos, partners up with 'Officer Becky' to look inside and outside the workings of a contemporary police car.

The video's title doesn't really suggest the range of police ...
Editorial Product Review: :'Pilot Dave' Hood, cocreator and host of the There Goes a... series of children's videos, straps himself into a variety of flying machines in this entertaining production. Riding shotgun on a stunt plane that loops and whooshes to a dizzying degree, Hood does a lot of yelping, but he also succinctly and entertainingly describes exactly why airplanes defy gravity. (Adults can learn from this video, too.) We learn the workings of passenger jets, and how the airline industry functions ...

AMD surprised us last year with its completely dominant dual-core chips, but Intel regains the crown with Core 2 Duo.
