...website for editing, organizing and sharing your digital photos hails from a most unlikely creator - Adobe Systems, which is to digital imaging software what Microsoft is to word processors. And while Photoshop Express is arguably the most full-featured free photo program on the Web, the real surprise is that Adobe is willing to risk cannibalizing its own paid image-management products, which include the $100 Photoshop Elements and the $649 Photoshop CS3, in order to win over new users. "Express is for the casual user," says Adobe vice president Doug Mack. "It's an incremental market...

The famous Asian penchant for astrology can even be indulged. "Whenever there is an auspicious date, there will be a planned cesarean," says Singaporean doula Ginny Phang (a doula is a private birthing coach who is not part...
...Most British press coverage had been largely sympathetic to the McCanns. But after they were named suspects, more stories falsely suggesting their possible involvement in Madeleine's disappearance began appearing. Media experts here say the Express papers were the worst offenders, printing a steady - and in circulation terms lucrative - flow of arch but unsubstantiated innuendo. "There was a drip, drip, drip of negative splash headlines," says Charlie Beckett, a media expert at the London School of Economics. "Syringe that 'Knocked Out Maddie' Found," claimed one ludicrous Star headline, while the Express screamed: "Find the Body or McCanns Will Escape." Some...
