...Jobs had just led Apple on a triumphant rampage through a new market sector, portable music players, and he was looking around for more technology to conquer. He found the ideal target tech sitting on his hip. Consumers bought nearly a billion of cell phones last year, which is 10 times the number of iPods in circulation. Break off just 1% of that and you can buy yourself a lot of black turtlenecks. Apple's new iPhone could do to the cell phone market what the iPod did to the portable music player market: crush it pitilessly beneath the weight...
...closure, and an opportunity for the Iraqis to establish an autonomous system of justice. Given Iraqi standards of justice, that end would have best been served by a professional and staid hanging. Instead, the execution devolved into a Shiite lynching that was calculated to inflame sectarian tensions. The cell phone video of Saddam’s hanging is as shocking for the taunting and chaos of the gallows as it is for the gruesome climax. As the noose was tied around Saddam’s neck, the Iraqi judge and prosecutor, present to ensure order, lost control. The guards began...
...dominated a few years ago, this time around it is more a showcase for environmentally friendly technologies. Not to be outdone by GM, Ford revealed a funky concept vehicle called Airstream, featuring glow-in-the-dark windows, a lava lamp and an electric powertrain combined with a hydrogen fuel cell. BMW touted its hydrogen technology with a 7-series concept vehicle and promoted its "clean diesel" technology, which it plans to deploy in a model bound for the U.S. in 2008. Just about everyone promised more cars that can run on E85 ethanol/gasoline blend. Mazda even touted...
...Ford, for its part, announced a deal with Microsoft to equip cars with a voice-activation system for gadgets like a cell phone, iPod or (in Microsoft's dreams) a Zune MP3 player. The system, called Sync, will supposedly convert text messages to audio too. Ford plans to make it available in 12 models over the coming year, though it could be a pricey option. Like most automakers, Ford is courting digitally savvy Gen Y shoppers and hopes the technology will appeal to them in entry-level cars like the 2008 Focus...
...said. Another application of SP technology is the bioimaging of infectious organisms. In a collaborative effort among members of Harvard Medical School and Draper Laboratory, scientists are developing SP technology that would enable researchers to detect the movement of a single poliovirus through an artificial cell membrane. The new technology could act as a vaccine development tool, said Dale N. Larson, Harvard Medical School Director of the Technology and Engineering Center. The new system would make the production of new drugs cheaper and more effective by allowing researchers and pharmaceutical companies to observe the effects of new drugs early...
