...sure, research and development is still just a sliver of India's tech boom. The bulk of the more than $16 billion earned by India's tech outsourcers in 2004 came from call-center work and low-end programming. Worldwide, only 0.3% of the $180 billion spent each year on developing software products goes to India. But, as with the earlier wave of tech outsourcing, R. and D. in India may prove to be too good a bargain to ignore: the cost of developing a basic software product in India is about $2 million, or just 40% of the cost...

Fortunately, global warming, like hunger and poverty, is a crisis that we can help to avert. The United States and China let out the bulk of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. A government effort to reduce the release of pollutants domestically and to make a bilateral reduction treaty with China would go far to improve the global situation. Even if the current political climate in the U.S. makes it unlikely that we will sign...
...veer away from," says Michaels. "It inspires a lot of trust. Plus he's so good." And with the exception of the odd moment of dissonance on a film set, Murray, unlike the characters he plays, seems fundamentally happy too.
