...will notice his odd mannerisms and strangeness, Eastern societies have dehumanized the scientist in a completely opposite way: They have deified him. In many Asian countries, scientists are national heroes. Take Chen Jin, a top physicist, who was feted by top Chinese leaders for developing the Hanxin computer chip. Or Hwang Woo-Suk, the South Korean biologist whose pioneering stem cell research was a point of national pride. When the research of each scientist was uncovered as fraudulent, it was a blow not just to the field in which his work was conducted, not just to the institution...
...this man, Samir Kuntar, the sole surviving member of the cell, that Hizballah leader Hasan Nasrallah promised to liberate this year from an Israeli prison by kidnapping Israeli soldiers to hold as a bargaining chip, an act Hizballah pulled off two weeks ago, precipitating the current fighting across the Israel-Lebanon border. Smadar Haran, meanwhile, has found herself again directly affected by the conflict, albeit in a much milder way. Nahariya is just five miles from the border with Lebanon and was the target of many of the rockets Hizballah has fired into Israeli towns since Israel launched its bombardment...
...boom of an explosion on the road. That did not come until we had descended past the town of Zahle and into the Bekaa Valley, close to the Syrian border. We had stopped the car on a side road so that Ali could hand over his Lebanese mobile-phone chip to a friend heading into the country. The delay turned out to be a godsend. When Ali started the car again, it was to flee the bombs hitting the main road on our right. We sped away with the other cars, and I watched people running away on foot from...
...Garmin's first warm-and-fuzzy navigator, the c330. Last year, I said that while I enjoyed the c330's extremely friendly interface, its screen was too hard to see in sunlight. Other c330 flaws included a windshield suction cup that just didn't suck enough, and a GPS chip that would lose reception when driving on an underpass. In the c550, all three of those mistakes have been rectified - the anti-glare screen is much easier to see under the hot summer sun, the suction mount holds fast to the windshield, and a new GPS chip-from a specialized...
...Lheem's thinking. Near Hyundai's plant, Nokia opened the first phase of a $150 million mobile-phone factory in March. In the state of Orissa on India's east coast, South Korean steel giant Posco plans to construct a $12 billion mill. SemIndia, a company formed by chip-industry executives, will break ground in June on a $3 billion semiconductor factory in the southern state of Andhra Pradesh. Others are coming around, too. Dell Computer recently announced its intention to build a factory in India, joining those it already has in China and Malaysia. In fact, the Indian manufacturing...
