Certain canola, cottonseed, sunflower and corn oils could substitute for hydrogenated oils. But they're in short supply, since hydrogenated soy oil is cheap and has long been the industrial standard. Some 85% of the roughly 19 billion lbs. of edible oils Americans consume each year comes from soy. About 10 billion lbs. of that soy oil gets hydrogenated, according to Mark Matlock, senior vice president of food research at Archer Daniels Midland (ADM). But alternatives are on the horizon. ADM, for example, has developed oils that not only behave like hydrogenated oils but also, Matlock says, are relatively healthy...
There are other portable video players out there, but none look as nice or are as easy to use as the new iPod. And it works well--seamlessly, as Jobs would say--with the iTunes Music Store, which gives users a quick, legal and reasonably cheap way to buy video content (which so far consists of music videos, some charming Pixar shorts and a few TV shows from ABC, including Lost and Desperate Housewives). That is the kind of integration that Apple's approach makes possible...

"I was preoccupied with other things," Miller admits. "When I got around to doing it, the prices had moved up about 5%, and I don't want...
...rightly backed out of setting aside $15,000 for an updated website. Looking forward, the UC might be able to get a perfectly functional website on the cheap by tapping into the resources that Harvard students, its constituency, provide. It could be as simple as a website design contest, open to undergraduates, with the UC outlining its needs and wants and offering a $500 first prize to the best design. Following this path, the UC could have said website in hand before they even contract a professional. That said, professional or amateur, whoever the UC hires should be carefully chosen...
...like it when inanimate objects speak to me. And not in that cheap, “ate-some-magic-brownies-” or “hit-the-bottle-a-bit-too-much-” kind of way. No, I prefer my anthropomorphism tangible and intentional. From the maniacal Tickle-Me-Elmo to the evil little Furby, I like the lull of a disembodied, semi-robotic voice...
