...Biscet has been subject to inhumane prison conditions, confined in a windowless, three by six foot cell for periods as long as 42 days. His toilet is a hole in the floor. When not in solitary confinement, he spends his time in a communal cell with violent criminals. With the exception of two visits from his wife, he is denied visitors, as well as medical treatment for his high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, and hypertension. But he continues his fight, bravely refusing the government’s offer to let him leave the country if he retracts his pleas for justice...
...test out the new service and was impressed by the speed. My IMs and BlackBerry messages went through seamlessly to my colleagues even while I was zipping in the air. But we did run into dead spots. For about 15 minutes we were flying along the edge of a cell tower that did not have a strong enough signal to connect, so my e-mails sat in cyberspace limbo. Once the signal became strong enough, the mail went through. For trouble-shooting, don't expect flight attendants to turn into tech support. Dewayne Cook, one of the cheery staff...
...laptops can connect to Yahoo Messenger or Mail, which can also be used to send text messages to mobile phones. (Sorry, Gmail and other e-mail services won't work.)

In theory, JetBlue could use the same technology to allow passengers to use their mobile phones in flight, but the airline...

In “Revolver,” gambler Jake Green (Jason Statham) emerges from seven years in prison with the perfect winning strategy, learned in solitary from the two cell mates on either side of him. Green uses his method to quickly win mega-bucks from crime boss Dorothy Macha (Ray Liotta), who responds, not surprisingly, by ordering a hit on Green. Out of the shadows emerge “brothers” Zach and Avi (Vincent Pastore and Andr?...
...messages Wyclef tackles prove too much. He comes off overwhelmed, musically and otherwise. Clearly, Wyclef’s got a lot on his mind. He infuses even the danciest tracks with a social message. We hear about nuclear energy, immigration, globalization, suicide bombers, wire-tapping, and stem cell research. On “Slow Down,” Wyclef’s soliloquy to the post-9/11 world, he sings, “I seen two birds / Crash into two New York giants.” The chorus is similarly desolate: “Where?...
