...watertight because it's completely decentralized - and the appeals court made a very clear distinction that a site isn't responsible for copyright infringement if it has no way to monitor or stop it. Most of the other sites - Gnutella, BearShare and the rest - look to have that same built-in protection...

The cleverly named Car Cell Phone System ($130) is a plug-and-play speakerphone for Nokia and Motorola models that doubles as a handset recharger. Not sharp enough?

Conservative Republicans are pretty adamant about this money, that once it's taken off the table for tax cuts, it stays off the table...

If only the Explorer came with a business plan and venture capital, it would be perfect...
