...problem is the principles that Apple has formally announced make no sense on the iPad platform. You could at least make a plausible case that Flash and multitasking were too resource-intensive (and thus battery-draining) for mobile-phone usage, just as you could make the case that a phone operating system needed more security scrutiny for third-party apps. But these arguments no longer make sense when you're talking about a computing platform with 10 hours of battery life, a blisteringly fast CPU and ambitions to replace your laptop.

More problematic is NASA's planned abdication of its role as a developer of manned boosters and spacecraft. Instead, it will become a shopper, and leave the designing and metal-cutting to the private sector. To an extent, this has always been the case.

...detective-cum-action-hero Holmes, Robert Downey Jr. discovers what many great actors have before him—that one can play essentially the same character in many films, provided that one is entertaining enough to get away with it. In Downey’s case, the intellectually brilliant, heavy-drinking and hard-hitting persona of American arms inventor Tony Stark of “Iron Man” proves surprisingly adaptable to 19th century England. That is to say, all that is needed is a change of accent. This is not a deep role...
