...pulled out of Second Life recently. Linden wants to keep others from jumping ship, since it makes money selling plots of land for as much as $1,675 apiece and charging owners $295 monthly usage fees. Some corporate outposts have figured out how to engage users and get valuable feedback. One of Second Life's big selling points, says Cory Ondreijka, Linden's chief technology officer, is "this porousness with information flowing in both directions." The site's financial success will depend in part on Linden's improving its search engine as well as the ability to have more than...
Relations between North Korea and the rest of the world - including its neighbor to the South - are beginning to look like a feedback loop. On Wednesday morning, South Korean President Roh Moo Hyun and Kim Jong Il announced that they will meet for three days of talks at the end of this month in Pyongyang, the North Korean capital, just the second time in history that the leaders of the Koreas will have met. But it already seems like a pattern. Back in 2000, with much fanfare, Kim Jong Il met his South Korean counterpart in a historic North South...

The sensors could eventually replace the jobs of inspectors altogether. Farrar argues that it would be more cost-effective in the long run because states could focus on sending a repair crew only when they already know there's a problem (and exactly where and what it is). "It would lead to much more continuous monitoring...
Kavli got an engineering degree and made his way to Southern California. In 1958 he started his own aerospace firm--Kavlico's first contract was with General Electric, designing feedback sensors for an atomic-powered airplane--and soon began investing, with extraordinary success, in California real estate. When he sold the company in 2000--just before the Internet-stock bubble burst--the undisclosed selling price was big enough to allow Kavli to return to the great unanswered questions of basic science that had long fascinated him. He wanted to endow major prizes for research in his astro-nano-neuro triad...
...have built a mock-up of the fence around construction. There are three different heights that we’re considering,” she said. “Everyone who lives by the construction site will be asked what height they prefer. The sooner we can get this feedback, the sooner we can order the materials...
