...buzz terms you might hear these days are ?time shifting? and ?place shifting.? Time shifting is what a TiVo does, recording something in the 8 pm slot that you watch later on. Place shifting is what a Slingbox does, giving you access to video stored up in one location-be it on DVD or recorded on a TiVo?s hard drive-from another place using an Internet-connected PC or mobile device...

So I would go out to the village near the University and tried to do something to help. I saw how people suffered for not having access to tiny amounts of money. Villagers had to borrow from loan sharks on terrible conditions - some even becoming slave labor for the money lenders. I made a list of 42 people most seriously in debt who, all together, owed no more than $27, and I went around the village according...
