...sharing their Internet access, and while fon.com's searchable maps help you pinpoint every FON-friendly hotspot in the world, there are many areas where service is thin on the ground. Still, for the cost of an ordinary wi-fi router, it's like getting a wireless couch to crash on in dozens of major cities...
...France get so big on babies? Generative behavior is a dauntingly complex thing. It reflects developments generations ago much the way a traffic jam on the autoroute can persist for hours after a crash has been cleared away. France, in fact, has long been something of a demographic exception in Europe. Its birthrate started to drop in the late 18th century, and over the course of the 19th century it was the French who worried as the British and Germans bred like rabbits.

The prize for Sunshine will make some voters think, perhaps for the first time, "Hey, why not?" But the SAG award is no reliable predictor of Oscar success. The Guild gave it first ensemble prize in 1996, and only five of the 11 winners (Shakespeare in Love, American Beauty, Chicago, The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King and Crash) have gone on to snag the Oscar for Best Picture.
