...computer is the respectable work of engineering you might expect: a tad trimmer than the last iMac, this one has a faster G5 processor, faster RAM, a souped-up graphics card and up to 500GB of internal hard disk storage. It has all of that plus a built-in iSight camera. That means easy access to iChat AV, or fun snapshots from the new, slightly gimmicky Photo Booth software. You pick an effect, like Fish Eye or the Warholian Pop Art, then pose for your portrait. You can e-mail the resulting image, or bring it into iPhoto or even...
...stock-car ranks, Evernham won't rush his prized talent. He had scheduled Crocker to drive full time in next season's Busch Series, NASCAR's top minor-league circuit, but after crashes in her first two Busch starts, she will get more experience at a lower level. Expect to see her in the Nextel Cup Series before long. Although Crocker couldn't secure sponsorship to drive an Indy car, as did Patrick, she's happy where she is. "If you want to reach the big leagues," says Crocker, who graduated with an industrial and management engineering degree from Rensselaer...

Some say the Net will lead to a radical democratization--power to the people--but I don't think so. When you harness collective intelligence and the power of blogging, it doesn't mean power to individuals. It means power to the people best able to aggregate those individuals. Google is a profoundly powerful company because it has figured out algorithmically how to learn from millions of people at once...
...this case free discourse, and we’re left to decide how if at all we’re able to get involved.One thing we might consider is the role of major US corporations in helping China to deploy the restrictions. It’s hard to expect deep ethical consideration by entities that exists largely to provide returns for their shareholders, but there’s substantial evidence at least in the case of Cisco (a company that makes firewall and routing hardware, including the wireless access points in the dorms here at Harvard, and also manufactures...
