...expect some Googlefied version of the Rural Electrification Administration: the company's not about to fan out all over the country, delivering high-speed connections to the woefully underequipped masses. Such a project would be massively expensive - Verizon has spent $23 billion in infrastructure for its 100-Mbps FiOS network, which reaches only 18 million people around the U.S. Rolling out nationwide high-speed connections would likely break the bank, even at Google. But if successful, Google's pilot could be a spark to help push U.S. telecommunications companies toward more rapid development...

Nurtured by a growing number of live venues, ever decreasing barriers to recording and a broadening disenchantment with Cantopop - the city's dominant music form to date - Hong Kong's independent-music scene has suddenly become crowded. As you would expect, a great number of the bands that comprise it are vehicles for the subpar songwriting and cack-handed guitar playing of solemn undergraduates, chubby expats and the sort of people that have fabulous haircuts but dreadful day jobs. But a handful of ensembles are worth crossing the street to see. And a very few - perhaps no more than...

...presence is that they always seem so much smaller in real life. Khan is the opposite. When he's in a scene on film, it's almost impossible not to watch him - but in person the effect is magnified, not diminished. He is taller and better looking than you expect from his common-man roles, and he has a way of subtly yet firmly controlling the environment around him. He doesn't need a big, pushy entourage to do it. When I meet him on the roof of a bland, concrete hotel in Roorkee, he has already charmed and cajoled...

Other measurements are a lot more difficult, though. It's reasonable to expect, for example, that ecosystems will change as plants and animals respond to a rising thermometer - but how do you measure the change of an ecosystem that may consist of hundreds or even thousands of species? (See pictures of the effects of global warming...

...American Psychiatric Association (APA), which publishes the DSM, has long wanted the fifth version to be a more rational, understandable document, but that's not proving to be easy. Publication has been delayed at least twice, and the association now doesn't expect to produce DSM-5 until 2013, 14 years after research on it began. One reason is that there are so many stakeholders: patients, shrinks, HMOs, academics. Patients want their illnesses covered; shrinks need to get paid academics want definitions to be consistent with research - research that is itself uneven. Sometimes, DSM changes can be made...
