...biggest protests in China since 1989 have been patriotic demonstrations essentially endorsed by the government--one an anti-American conflagration after the Belgrade bombing, the other a series of anti-Japanese protests in April that erupted in several Chinese cities. The latest demonstrations were spurred by nationalist websites and cell-phone text-message campaigns that persuaded tens of thousands to march against Japan, a country that they believe has still not fully atoned for its brutal occupation of China 70 years...
When Nigel Clifford took over as chief executive of the London-based cell-phone software company Symbian this month, he walked into a daunting role: Microsoft slayer. Symbian makes operating systems that power smart phones--devices that make calls but also handle data, video, music, fancy games and e-mail. Symbian, with all of 913 employees, is pummeling Microsoft in that growing market. Of the 14.4 million smart phones that shipped globally last year, 82.1% use Symbian and only 6.4% use Microsoft, according to Reading, England, research firm Canalys...
...Judiciary Committee letter, signed by chairman Arlen Specter and members Charles Grassley and Patrick Leahy, mentioned an allegation that Rattigan and Abdel-Hafiz at one point could not be contacted by the FBI and "may have surrendered their FBI cell phones to Saudi nationals." That charge possibly arose from a working trip that the agents' colleagues say the two made to Mecca during the Muslim pilgrimage season. The pair were required to give up their FBI-provided cell phones just as an FBI official in the U.S. was trying to get in touch with them. When the U.S.-based...
...Stem-Cell Breakthrough "Inside the Korean Cloning Lab" [may 30] reported that South Korean scientists have created human stem-cell lines that are perfectly matched to the dna of human patients. That story gave me mingled feelings of delight and worry. Although the whole world is now one step closer to an ideal situation for studying how diseases develop, I worry about whether the U.S. can maintain its scientific and technological superiority. Many other countries have been vigorously pursuing stem-cell projects, while the U.S. government restricts the research that federally funded scientists may do in that field. I hope...
...those in the U.S. That is ridiculous. American medical-research laboratories, such as the one in which I am finishing my Ph.D., are also whirlwinds of purposeful activity. As I see it, the U.S. regulatory environment is the sole reason that the U.S. is ceding the lead in stem-cell research. That is not the fault of academic or industrial scientists, and the problem can be helped just so much by progressive state governments such as California's. The blame lies solely with the man in the White House, who seems to value the life of cells a few days...
