...tiny lift at Diva, a karaoke bar in central Osaka that seems little bigger than a shoebox. It's way past midnight following the orchestra's final concert, and the beer is flowing?as is Carbo's voice: "My, my, my, Delilah!" The reverb might be less than crystal-clear tonight, but that doesn't stop the high emotion from bouncing back.

A platinum-haired English teacher and her friend from Melbourne, arms akimbo, launch into a rendition of early David Bowie...
...GNOMON, NO CRY? And yet, everything is still far from crystal clear...
After decades spent unraveling the secrets of human DNA, Harvard alum Roger D. Kornberg ’67 received the Nobel Prize last week for uncovering the crystal structure of the protein necessary to make DNA more than just a blueprint. Kornberg, who is currently a professor at Stanford University, presented a frame-by-frame view of RNA polymerase interacting with DNA——a conversion that leads to the construction of proteins necessary for life. Kornberg’s discovery, published in the journal Science in 2001, showed in atomic detail the chemical construction...
...Reader is about the size of a trade paperback, though thinner, and instead of a liquid-crystal display, its 6-in. screen uses E-Ink technology. Each of its finely packed pixels can be white or black but they don't shimmer or emit any light, so the experience is eerily like looking at paper, high in contrast and relaxing on the eye. The tradeoff is that E-Ink can't yet refresh fast enough to show video, and even scrolling or zooming is a complicated business, but that's not the purpose of the Reader. Even without a backlight...
