Quantum of Solace: A new Bond for new times

London - The famous line "The name's Bond ...," the gizmos, gadgets and glib one-liners are missing from Quantum of Solace - in line with Daniel Craig's mission to reinvent James Bond for modern times. 

Following on directly from Casino Royale, the actor's first 007 incarnation, Quantum of Solace provides the viewer with a "leaner, tauter experience," half an hour shorter than the previous 21 Bond films. 

"There is a generation of people who don't know Bond movies and I want them to watch the movies and understand who those characters are," said Craig, 40, in a BBC interview about his mission.

Gary Glitter makes £100,000 from telly ad

London, Oct 29: English rocker Gary Glitter, convicted for sexual offences, stands to make 100,000 pounds after advertising chiefs used one of his songs for an ad.

The ad, made for computer giant Hewlett Packard, used the pop paedophile’s 1972 hit ‘Do You Wanna Touch Me’ to promote a new touch-screen model.

The song, which is featured in a major marketing campaign with TV adverts being screened all over America, is a 1982 cover version sung by US rocker Joan Jett.

But since it was originally written by 64-year-old Glitter, he gets to collect all the royalties, and if the ad sparks a surge in Internet downloads, he will end up earning a lot.

US campaigners are now demanding Hewlett Packard to remove the advert.
