Grove has been agitating about health care since the mid-'90s, when his battle with prostate cancer--which he waged scientifically, as though trying to solve a heat-dispersion problem on a chip--opened his eyes to modern medicine's digital lag. "We are engineers," he says to the room. "We take the problem, decompose it and solve it." And not just any engineers, but engineers at City College--an up-by-your-bootstraps institution famed for offering the disadvantaged a gateway to the middle class. Grove, who slipped out of his native Hungary during the 1956 revolution...
...name for bionic. A myoelectric hand works off tiny electrical signals released when muscles are contracted. The signals are picked up by electrodes that line the inside of a prosthesis and cover the muscles of a stump. Electrodes send the signal to a computer chip that instructs an electronic hand to open, close or rotate...
...much uncertainty—in the middle of the defense, on the offensive line, and behind center—for me to forecast less than two losses in good conscience. HARVARD (1-0) AT BROWN (1-0)If you listen to coach Phil Estes, the Bears have a chip on their shoulders from the dis they received in the preseason Ivy media poll, relegated to third place despite a championship in 2005.

...agreeing to open its facilities to international inspectors and abandon weapons-related projects. It would be painful for any U.S. Administration to recognize the legitimacy of a regime that sponsors terrorism and calls for Israel's destruction--but the time may come when that's the only bargaining chip short of war the U.S. has left. And still that may not be enough. "[The Iranians] would give up nuclear power if they truly believed the U.S. would accept Iran as it is," says a university professor in Tehran who asked not to be identified. "But the mistrust runs too deep...
...movie fixes (legally) online. That day took a step closer to reality last week, when Apple announced it would sell movie downloads through its iTunes store. The move raised the prospect that downloading flicks will take off among folks who don't know or care what a d-RAM chip is (that's pretty much everyone). Apple, after all, has sold more than 1.5 billion songs online, along with 45 million TV episodes. And if you believe CEO Steve Jobs, movies are a logical extension--especially since Apple aims to sell you a $300 box that will effortlessly beam those...
