...thrilling as high-speed networks are, they do have a downside: they drain batteries big time, especially those of slimmer phones. Like the RAZR that features Verizon?s high-speed V-Cast service, the CU500 can only deliver a fraction of its maximum talk time when in the HSDPA network - even if all you're doing is making simple voice calls...

In African nations like these, AIDS is rife and medications are next to impossible to come by.In 2001, generic drug manufacturers surfaced in countries such as India and Brazil that could produce and sell crucial AIDS drugs at a fraction of the retail price. Due to the reduced costs, combination drug therapy could potentially reach up to two to three times as many people as before. Yet 39 American pharmaceutical companies came out in ardent opposition to sharing their secret recipes. They claimed intellectual property was violated. But what about Hassan...
