Thought the Walkman and Discman were pretty cool in the '80s and '90s? Imagine walking the streets with every tune you own (and quite a few you borrowed) in your pocket, one button push away from total aural bliss...
...Europeans have been talking about coordinating a defense structure that's not dependent on NATO since the early '90s, as they moved to strengthen the European Union and give it more of the characteristics of a state. And when Bosnia blew up, and then Kosovo last year, the Europeans were faced with the undeniable fact that they didn't have the muscle to intervene, and had to turn to the U.S. on a purely European matter. It was at a summit held last summer, in the immediate wake of Kosovo, that they set their requirements as a force...
...those aspirations is the unsightly tangle of TV cable connections that are strung across balconies and laundry lines in every Indian city. In the '90s, they were installed to bring cable TV to urban Indians. These days, they're being transformed into broadband Internet connections.

(There are 75 million TVs in India.) A slew of companies, including Enron and Hughes Telecom, are building fiber-optic...

Offspring reaches too far in attempting to conjure lasting hooks on the more marketable songs, as they seemingly struggle to conjure a chart-topping, radio ready hit. It sounds forced, and from the belabored likes of "Living in Chaos," controversial, cursing music is definitely more their natural element...
