...process of sorting through unorganized data stored on backup tapes to proactive email archiving with speedy search engines. In August, Veritas Software paid $225 million for e-mail archiver KVS, while fellow archiver Zantaz snapped up Steelpoint Technologies; both acquired companies provide e-discovery services to many a blue-chip client. E-mail archiver iLumin has also just created a discovery-services unit, which has attracted four of the five largest banks, with a filter that allows messages with questionable content to be quarantined for review...
...score would remain the same heading into the intermission, but the second half was controlled by Harvard. The Minutewomen did not record a shot in the period, and Maasdorp added a final score from a nifty reverse chip off a feed from McDavitt with 15:31 remaining...

For as medical science adds years to our collective lives, we chip away at them by doing things--stewing at our desk jobs, eating fatty processed foods, blowing a gasket in a freeway traffic jam, exercising no more than our fingers at the computer--that centenarians can't imagine. Most of them were born into an America as remote from today's metaphorically as the craggy villages of Sardinia, Okinawa and Nova Scotia are geographically. In the early 1900s people walked miles to work not by choice but out of necessity; cars were still a luxury. People...
...were to crack open your digital camera, one thing you would find is the image sensor, a tiny silicon chip about a half-inch wide embedded with millions of pixels tightly packed together. When struck by light, each pixel generates an electric current that is converted into the digital data that make up your picture. But not all pixels are created equal, and some cameras use larger ones than others. For example, the pixels on the HP Photosmart R707 are just 2.8 microns wide, whereas those on the Nikon D70 are 7.8 microns wide. (A micron is tiny?1/24...
