...London hospital, after having ingested a "major dose" of the radioactive toxin polonium-210 that destroyed his immune system, according to Britain's Health Protection Agency. Scotland Yard said that traces of polonium-210 - which is so rare and volatile that producing quantities large enough to kill requires access to a high-security nuclear laboratory - were found at a sushi restaurant called Itsu in Piccadilly where Litvinenko had eaten lunch on the day he got sick. Traces of the isotope were also found at his north London home and at the Millennium Hotel in Grosvenor Square, which he had also...
That's an understatement. The technologies throwing everything into a tizz are called wi-fi and WiMax. Those names are familiar to anyone who's used their laptop to access the Internet wirelessly at a public place equipped with a "hot spot." Although a version of the more powerful, farther-reaching WiMax wireless network that works seamlessly with handheld devices probably won't be ready until next year, handsetmakers are already giddy at the prospect. With WiMax's roots in the Internet, the reasoning goes, mobile networks based on that technology will be able to deliver the multimedia goods...
Considering their widely divergent views on WiMax, it's no surprise that relations between phonemakers and mobile carriers are getting crackly.

"I do the Clearwire deal, and I get 10 hate mails," Zander quipped to Time...
...radioactive toxin, polonium 210, and that police had found traces of it in three locations: a sushi bar where Litvinenko had eaten lunch, a hotel he had visited on the same day and his home. Polonium 210 is so rare and volatile that the assassin would have needed access to a high-security nuclear laboratory to obtain it. Moscow denies that it had anything to do with the death. At a meeting with European officials in Helsinki, Vladimir Putin called the death a tragedy but also questioned the authenticity of Litvinenko's deathbed accusation and stated bluntly, "There...
...describe their predicament accurately, but it sterilizes it at the same time. That's why Orwell warned that "if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought." "It's like the government announcing it would no longer talk about 'uninsured people', but 'people with reduced health care access,'" says Jim Weill, President of the Food Research and Action Center. "It's replacing a phrase which has emotional punch for people with one that's drained of any power." Nord himself acknowledges the weight of the word. "Those who work closest with us and know firsthand what hunger is feel that...
