...Sharing Center allows you to view other computers on your home network, including maybe your neighbor's laptop that has been piggybacking on your wi-fi router. Backing up files to a DVD or an external hard drive is easier. PC-industry analyst Rob Enderle says a "big chunk of viruses" won't work on the new OS. Unlike Windows XP, Vista almost always asks the user for permission to install new software, so it catches many more sinister programs before they strike. Says Enderle: "Vista is much more like the Mac OS, Linux and Unix in the way that...
...economies of scale, calcified playlists, ROI and Dr. Laura, and out went boss jocks and news on the half-hour. Corporate stations generated some $18 billion in revenue last year, vs. the independents' $394 million, reports BIA Financial Network Inc. Along the way, though, Big Radio lost a good chunk of bored 18-to-24-year-olds, many of whom have defected to their iPods or the indies. Satellite radio is another threat, but declines of 41% and 55% in the stock prices of Sirius and XM this year underline the struggle that's taking place in the radio market...

Some have watched their kids leave the nest, others will never have children, but all are likely to spend the biggest chunk of their life in the company of their partner only. Simply put, the definition of family is increasingly flexible, its constituent parts ever more diverse. While the family was once seen as a form of fate - it chose you - it's now increasingly something that Europeans choose and define...
Yale out-sources much of its endowment-management work to hedge funds and other investment firms. Harvard, by contrast, uses in-house investors to handle a large chunk of its own holdings. Harvard pays hefty salaries to its own moneymen—the top-paid in-house investor earned $17.9 million in the 2005 fiscal year—but the University says that it pays less in fees to external managers as a result. Universities are required to reveal the salaries of their highest-paid employees on their federal and state tax returns—but they aren?...
