...diamond will replace silicon entirely. Diamond manufacturing remains expensive, even after several spikes in silicon-wafer prices over the past year. But semiconductor researchers remain optimistic about diamond's future role; at the very least, a combination of silicon and diamond could produce more powerful devices that run at cooler temperatures. Says Mike Mayberry, director of components research at Intel: "We're still interested enough to keep...
...watermark in the Great Lakes depends on the weather. A hot, dry spell means not only less rainfall but a higher rate of evaporation from the lakes' surfaces. But precipitation has been above normal for 15 of the past 18 years, and temperatures have grown cooler. September, for example, is usually a dry month, but it brought drenching rains to the Great Lakes basin. In October Lake Michigan crept to an average of 581.6 ft. above sea level, more than a foot higher than a year earlier and topping its 20th century record of 581 ft., set in 1974. Lakes...
...Digital Camera Speaking of digital cameras, the Nikon CoolPix S7c is really my favorite compact model of the season. It is as reliable as the Canons, and for $350, carries more bells than Santa's sleigh.

Each shot is added as a frame to a little movie, so you can duplicate, at home, those memorable videos depicting flowers opening, or a building job getting completed...
...there are two clearly separated divisions in college football. There’s a reason that Appalachian State is the best team in the one that Harvard and the other Ivies play in, while Ohio State is the best in the division that dominates the headlines, newscasts, and water-cooler talk everywhere. I don’t know of any “state” named Appalachia, and while Ohio isn’t exactly big-time in the grand scheme of things, at least it’s literally...
...really a universal remote that controls its own educational DVD games that you play on your DVD player. There?s a bit of set-up?you have to teach the system what DVD player you have?but once you do, the remote will work just fine. Cooler still is the fact that the controller has two faces, a chunky, button-based one for babies 9 months or older, and another one, with a joystick, for toddlers 2 years and up. You just flip it over when your kid grows up, hence the ?grow-with-me? name. (Obviously, it?s just...
