...rush to build the F-35 has led to ever-changing blueprints, which has led to slowdowns on the production line, which has delayed flight testing. How bad is it? Last year, engineers expected to churn out 200 changes - a month! - to the F-35's design, but actually generated about 500. Even after Gates' restructuring, taxpayers could spend close to $60 billion on more than 300 F-35s before flight testing is finished, meaning costly modifications will be required...
...writing adventure was to see what life is like on a massive content farm. I was working for Demand Media, the content-provider start-up that has quickly become the Web's least understood and most vilified juggernaut. The company has come up with a ruthlessly efficient way to churn out stories it knows will be profitable online.

That may be true, but Ho, who has been working to develop an HIV vaccine of his own, now believes that a traditional shot, one that relies on snippets of a virus to both awaken and prod the immune system to churn out antibodies, may not be the best way to fight HIV. Rather than expecting the body to do all the work of first recognizing then mounting an attack against the virus, why not just present the body with a ready-made arsenal of antibodies that can home in on HIV? It's the immunological equivalent of a frozen...
...rumbling of Chinese competition has been growing steadily louder this month. According to the Bangkok Post, for example, China's consumer appliance giant Haier is planning to take advantage of the FTA by investing $9 million more into its factories in Thailand to churn out more fridges, washing machines and air conditioners. Indonesia is so jittery by the prospect of such moves that the country's Trade Minister, Mari Pangestu, has notified the secretariat of ASEAN (Association of Southeast Asian Nations) that Jakarta wants to delay the inclusion of hundreds of domestically produced items like textiles, food products and electronics...
