...first time into dslrs with its Alpha dslr A100, which hit the market in July. The camera uses slr technology Sony acquired from Konica Minolta, and is selling for around $1,000, lens included. Companies think the dslr will whet the appetites of gadget lovers who will eat up higher-margin aftermarket treats, like lenses, flashes and cases. Sony, for one, offers 21 lenses for its new Alpha. Skeptics say that dslrs are a false hope, because most people consider them too complicated, big or pricey. IDC pegs them at around 4% of the market today, growing to only around...

But in recent years, urban pet ownership has skyrocketed, as yuppies (or Chuppies, as they're locally dubbed) find a poodle...
...Israel currently has 10,000 troops operating in southern Lebanon, but they're not digging in. Instead, they're attacking Hizballah village strongholds, maintaining mobility instead of establishing fixed positions. In fact, the Israeli soldiers are mostly living inside their tanks and APCs, where they eat, sleep and conduct their ablutions. Once they have expended much of the ammunition they're carrying in firefights with Hizballah, they are typically relieved after a few days, driving back to the Israeli border to refuel, rearm and, for many of the soldiers, to catch a day or two of r&r in abandoned...
