Want the new Radiohead album? What's it worth to you?

In Rainbows will be released as a digital download available only via the band's web site, Radiohead.com. There's no label or distribution partner to cut into the band's profits — but then there may not be any profits. Drop In Rainbows' 15 songs into the on-line checkout basket and a question mark pops up where the price would normally be. Click it, and the prompt "It's Up To You" appears. Click again and it refreshes with the words "It's Really Up To You" — and really, it is. It's the first major album whose price is determined by what individual consumers want to pay for it. And it's perfectly acceptable to pay nothing at all.

Lois Maxwell, the original Miss Moneypenny in the James Bond films, has died at age 80.

In the late 1940s, she moved to Hollywood and won a Golden Globe for her part in a Shirley Temple comedy, “That Hagen Girl.” After returning to Britain in the mid-1950s, she acted opposite Sean Connery in the first James Bond movie, “Dr. No,” in 1962 as the secretary to M, the head of the secret service. She was 58 when she appeared in her final Bond film, “A View to a Kill” (1985).
