...STRANGE BREW Somehow the sultry-voiced Korean equivalent of lounge music doesn't seem out of place among the wooden tables and rice paper lanterns of the Golden Scales Teashop. After all, its interior design is a study in eclecticism. A Chinese landscape painting shares a wall with an aging beer ad. A stuffed fish capers among vines of plastic grapes. The proprietress, gliding soundlessly over the warped wooden floor, serves me a refreshing bowl of o-mi (five-flavor) tea?sweet, sour, bitter, pungent, salty. Not unlike lemonade, I decide, as I drain the curious concoction of tea, tangerine...
...chugged straight from a keg, sipped at a bar or competed over during a Beirut game, beer defines Harvard life just as much as the Core curriculum or Larry Summers. So this week, Drinky Drink challenges you to put your well-rested brain to the test and brew some of your own malt beverage. The process, though a little lengthier than a trip to Louie’s (an ale can be made in a week and a lager in one to two months), is well worth it. Rock Bottom’s senior brewer Scott Hutchinson?...
Rolf Ekeus, the Swedish former director of the inspection team--officially, the U.N. Special Commission--has said those leftovers from before the Gulf War constitute a "marginal" threat.

Verizon Wireless is rolling out service in the U.S. based on Qualcomm's BREW virtual machine platform. The technology, already used by mobile operator Korea Telecom Freetel (KTF), allows software developers and carriers to provide a wide range of new mobile data applications and coordinate billing and payment. For the first time, American consumers will be able to use phones to download software in much the same way they now do on their PCs. One of the most popular applications is expected to be sophisticated games that users can play off-line. To promote the service, Verizon is selling Sharp...
...mobile phones because of credit-rating problems. Yet Nicolaj Nielsen, a consultant for Strand Consult, sees changes ahead that bear resemblance to the Korean model. By year's end, Verizon, which also uses CDMA technology, is expected to offer a service that combines EV-DO's higher speeds with BREW's programmable technology. "Verizon's adoption of the brew virtual machine platform is expected to revolutionize the U.S. mobile data market," Nielsen says. And to further emulate South Korea's formula for success, the company recently announced a strategic partnership with Microsoft that will allow users to forward Hotmail from...
